Just got back from a lovely lunch at my girlfriend's....four of us get together every couple of months. This time we met at her big place, and for the hell of it, brought our dogs. OMG...Gus and Elsie were hilarious with two puppies and a little cairn terrier. :lol:

And we had a fair amount of champagne.....it's now, what....almost 3 pm? :ph34r::rolleyes:

And we climbed into her hot tub. Incredible! The temp outside is about 75 F, and the water was nice and cool, but still bubbly. A neat experience.

However, I believe the rest of the day may be shot. Oh, hell...........

Gawd...in my champagned state I hit reply before I'd even SAID what I hadda say...

Julie! Lord, it's great to hear you are okay after all of that terrifying swelling. What a horrid thing to have to be thinking about.........(((((HUGS)))))))!!!!!

Patti AND Carla! You both are far too young to have kids in their twenties......quite remarkable. You both look fantastic, and you must surprise a lot of people if and when your age ever comes up!

Now, ME, on the other hand....people say, "What? You've only got TWO kids? And the older is only fifteen?" :lol::rolleyes:

Evening all!!

Son of Silly just back from his trip to France.....fab time :D .....watch this space for his next intrepid oversea adventure!! :lol:

So we have a few rather chesty Sillies, here...Sarah, too! It's not that mine are that small, they're now just....considerably lower, I guess.... :(<_<

Small and low me <_<

T'is a cruel world

:lol: Chesty sillies

Just popping in to say hello. I had another 2 rough days with my reaction, it traveled from my throat to my tongue, not fun at all :( ..........don't have much silly-ness in me.

Oh poor Joo-Lea :(

Take it easy ;)

but I noticed poop and boobs

Would that be a Poob?? :unsure:

If you've got enough rope to make harnesses you could hook them all up to the car and have them pull it to the library.

Whilst shouting ''Mush'' at the little blighters!!

Excellent plan :lol:

I hope you make it ..... this is a perfect example of when it's a benefit to look stupid and maybe have DD's.

:lol: If you got it - flaunt it!!

However, I believe the rest of the day may be shot. Oh, hell...........

Ho'tub?? ;):lol:

<_< Jealous of Emily's boozy, lazy gossipy slattern day ;)

Now, ME, on the other hand....people say, "What? You've only got TWO kids? And the older is only fifteen?" :lol::rolleyes:

Such modesty - when we KNOW you are stunning B):stunningemoticon:

OMG only 2 more days till FL!!!!! And we have so much to do!!!

Ridgewalker Contributor

Well we made it, and fun was had by all. Whew! And my friend's baby only wanted ME to hold her the whole time-- which I loved. :lol: She's about 14 months, and has been doing the mommy-clingy thing a lot lately. I think she figured out, "Hey, that one only has boys. She'll coo and spoil me the whole time if I allow her to have me." :rolleyes:

Emily, that sounds like so much fun!!! I wanna come next time. :D

Ridgewalker Contributor

Btw, Em... there's a panicky mom whose diabetic son was just diagnosed with celiac disease. You may want to Open Original Shared Link Sounds like she could use some advice.

elye Community Regular

Yay, Amanda!! Off to Orlando! We suspect that the yeti may still be thereabouts.....please keep an eye out for him. . ..

<_< Jealous of Emily's boozy, lazy gossipy slattern day ;)

'Twas that, indeed. Exactly. A BLGS day . . .... I'm SO fortunate to have it happen only three or four times a year... ... . . <_<:lol:

Now, I've found another word that makes not just one's mouth, but whole face, it would seem, attractive when enunciated: interlobular. :lol::lol::huh:

CRAP...I'm in questionable shape to be leaping atop my big white steed.......

But I'll head over there toot sweet.

Mygawd....I'll probably just tell her to get into a ho' tub with a couple of friends and champagne, and hell, everything seems great! <_<:o

jerseyangel Proficient

I don't think I told you guys....I got my hair cut--short :o:o:o

Remember how it was uneven, and driving me nuts? I tried a salon that came well recommended right on the little Main Street of our town.

Anyway, this really nice stylist took me right away (I only stopped in to make an appointment) and did a very nice job--it's short, but it's an excellent cut.

Get this--her daughter tested weakly positive for Celiac when she was 19--3 years ago. The doctor said it was a low positive, so she didn't have to go on the gluten-free diet. :huh: This girl gets outbreaks when she is under stress.....among other things. (This came up because I told the shampoo girl I just wanted my hair rinsed......yada, yada, yada)

I gave the mom as much info as I could and invited her to come on the board, just to read if she wanted to. She asked a lot of questions and said she looked forward to talking to me about this some more the next time I come in. Which I plan to do cause I really liked her and the whole salon. B)

I have to say I'm loving not blow-drying :D

Yes. Pick-chur, Puleeze.

Patti!! After all that you got it cut off!!!! :o :o :o

I know!!! :lol:

The chemical straightening really took it's toll after a while--the girl who did it for me was excellent, but that stuff is potent. My hair was breaking and shedding and to tell you the truth, I kinda wanted to go more natural and stop using so much stuff on it.

I will probably grow it out a bit now that all the processed parts are gone--so yeah, I'm starting from scratch again! :P

EXACTEMENT. I imagined this, also. However, I was quite impressed with myself and my ability to drag myself, struggling mightily, into my sage, helpful persona and, well......offer a post that was responsible, mature and serious.

Helpful? Bah!!

I so very rarely partake in this kind of mid-day decadence....what kind of timing does this mother think she has, anyways?? :huh::lol:

I know what you mean. Lyme did a number on my hair. Much of it fell out and what was left broke. When I began treatment, it started growing back, so it's taken this long to replace all of it. I have about two inches of bad hair left, but it's not worth getting cut off right now as it's not that bad anymore. It's thickened up to where it used to be. Thankfully it was thick to begin with .....

      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.
