Hi, Lisa!!! How's things down in your part of NC? :D

Well, all the kids were on fairly good behavior for the trip. I was especially pleased with my friend's son. He's a few months younger than Luke, they've all grown up together. But my friend's son is often difficult to handle (takes meds during the school year, but is off them for the summer.) He was a gem today. :)

Came home and royally cheated on my low-sodium Edna. :( Ate two little PEPPERONI and cheese sandwiches on a Brazillian cheese roll. :rolleyes: Other than that, it's been going well, though. :huh: I've never eaten a pepperoni and cheese sandwich before. :huh: It was good tho.

Susie, my Brazillion cheese rolls tun out like hockey pucks, too, BTW.... I kinda like 'em that way. :blink::lol: :lol: :lol:

Sillies....

I have a problem..... Yep, another one :lol: As you all know, I had my hair cut a couple weeks ago..... It is uneven!!! :o Yep--it's a little longer on the left, and also somewhat fuller.

It's curly (now) so it wasn't as evident before, but now it's driving me nuts. I will be getting a new cut, post haste, at a different salon.....I had the perfect stylist in New Jersey, but really need one here. Gawd....

This will entail a shorter 'do, I'm sure. Now I wish I hadn't done anything..... :(

Emily, just so you know, in Philly I'll be the one with a bag over me head. :ph34r:

Ummmmm.... .. ... girls have their own particular....challenges. But my two have always been pretty good together. Misery and humiliation love company, and I am a constant source of embarrassment to them, so they band together. It is actually a very good thing, the comfort they get from each other as they wince and roll their eyes in tandem when we're all out together.

....Something you could try..... :rolleyes::rolleyes::lol:

I'm on it! :lol: :lol: :lol:

GIAH-KNIT, what was that solipsistic book you were reading - or trying to read - was it "Eat, Pray, Love" by chance?

Because......I just borrowed it from my mom, who couldn't finish it - nor could her entire book club finish it - and I have just done something I haven't done in decades - - threw it across the room - twice in one night (to Kissey's great amusement) because.......well I have never read such poorly-written drivel in all my life...... :unsure:

      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.
    • Ello
      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results.  Thank you

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.
    • Ello
      Yes this information helps. I will continue to be pro active with this issues I am having. More testing to be done. Thank you so much for your response.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
