Lynne - how are things today?? How ya feeling? Give us an update.

I just know you're going to figure this out and in the end, Karen is right, it just matters that you are THERE.

And, if you go the Cleopatra route in the throne, you can borrow the cute cops from the OMG thread to carry you in. ;)

Sending love and health and hugs....

Susie

Ok, sorry I dont know you well, but I wish you only the best. I also cried while reading Karens post. The most important thing is that you are there, but I find you to be a very strong woman to say that you will get down that aisle!

I hope your daughters wedding is beautiful and you enjoy it most of all!

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

Oh lynne,I'm so sorry your plans went 'belly up' :(

I'm sure the wedding will turn out great no matter what your entry :)

Hope you're feeling better soon. :)

Sorry for all your trouble :( When it rains, it pours!!!

Might I suggest a skateboard? :P

Or perhaps a razor scooter :lol:

Infinite hugs!!!

This won't help, but at my wedding, I was walked down the aisle by my mother who had had both knees replaced in December, and my 88 year old grandfather with a hip problem. I, of course, was on 4" stillettos on brick. I don't know who was walking who anywhere, we were all holding eachother up :lol:

And then my uncle the minister with the recently amputated foot presided...it was a comedy of orthopedic disaster :lol:

:lol::lol::lol: I can just picture all that in my head. :lol::lol::lol:

Lynne, I'm sending you lots of cyber (((((HUGS)))))).

Lynne- I KNOW you....and you will walk down the aisle because you are proud, stubborn and strong. My friend Mary's mom had been badly burned (3rd degree over 90% of her body-everything but her face) and spent two years in Mass General and then rehab. They told her she would never walk again. They told her she would "never" do a lot of things again- and she did them all- stubborn, proud, Irish woman :D .

She took her first public steps at Mary's wedding and despite that they were clumsy and awkward, they were the most beautiful steps I have EVER seen. Yours will be too. If you can't wear the shoes, get yourself a sexy toe ring and a pedicure and go for it. Maybe you could have your son on one side and Dave on the other. You will be beautiful!!!!!!!!

Obviously, if it's broken, disregrad everything I just said and go for the Cleopatra style carry down. That would be sexy! Especially if you were sipping a glass of champagne as you did it. Hang in there sweetie... you know we're all pulling for you. Hugs and lots of love, Beverly

Chelsea- your story is hysterical. :lol:

Carla -- Ash has already had the wedding dress thing happen . . . her future sister in law, who has the attitude of a cobra with PMS -- refused to try on her dress . . until two days ago -- and can't get it zipped past her mid-back, if that. Ashley was going to get her a wrap, so that she can just keep it covered all day, but then realized that it wouldn't work . . . so then, Ash had to go to Bridal shops and find her another one. . . and did, thank goodness.

Thanks for making me laugh guys . . . spent a portion of the day crying -- as you can imagine, and another portion just bellyaching!!!!!

Lucky for her it wasn't 10 minutes before the wedding was due to start!! In my wedding pics we have one of my mom and my grandma sewing dresses! My grandmother used to own a bridal shop, so my grandfather had just grabbed the sewing basket out of habit on his way out the door!!

Maybe you could go in on a platform like Pope John Paul II used to use. :P

Ok posting again..

know today and wedding tomorrow will be taking all your focus but just checking in to see if you left any word on the MRI and the leg.

will still keep you in my prayers for a good report and fun beautiful wedding.

love

Judy

:) Lynne, I hope it all goes well-wish I'd been able to get on sooner, perhaps a scooter chair would have fit down the aisle-I am sure you can rent one. I hope you feel better soon and not a long cellulitis ordeal like our dear Judy has been going through. Take care and enjoy yourself in Vegas, too.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—
    • lalan45
      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.
