So if you don't hear from me as much. I will try to check in. Bye Guys!!!!

Oh, your next few days sound superb, Amanda! :)

And so nice that you've kept in touch with one of your foster kids.....I think your parents are amazing people to devote their lives to fostering children - - and SO great for you to have grown up in a wonderful, dynamic household like this!

Em---hope you feel much better ASAP! That sucks!

Take care of Emily....send the Yeti to bring her more reading material for the loo...she may need em!

:lol: Actually, things have really calmed down....it was only the first couple of hours this morning, and I don't usually spend much time on the toilet....just walking around with my pants undone (quite something when I'm at work) :lol::rolleyes: and feeling those telltale needle-like stomach pains. It's all good now. Threw meself into a good run, and that does seem to help. Also keeps me from becoming a Princess Chunk, myself...... :lol:

He also has a weird mark/lesion/thing on his leg, that has been growing. I don't know what it is, but with my mom getting dxed with Sarc, it makes me nervous.

Will update yall on the appt later.

Sign for the day:

. . . tomorrow is my knee surgery.

Surgery

Form both hands into *A* hands..........remember those?....fists with the thumb along the side......and touch the tips of the thumbs. Pull the dominant hand away, like you are drawing (or cutting) the incision. This can be done at the location of the surgery, so Janet's would be done across her knee.

Good luck, Gian-knit!!!!

Hope Luke's appt is fruitful :)

Gian-knit's gni surgery already!! It'll go perfectly - see ya Saturday :)

How's Ptaum doing ?? :unsure:

Haven't even started the bulk of the new pills. Trying to gauge the one w/ a bit o' milk from the probiotic blend component. So far, only once felt like I might be getting the weird mental effect.

She (the ND) wanted me to test it for 3 days at first but then agreed to 5 - w/ refund if applicable.

I might extend it to a week to be more sure.

I won't expect anything to report until a week or so after starting the other pills, which include an adrenal formula. :)

Hehe seeing the question makes me think Knic hasn't seen me posting every day!! :o

Good to see Julie back in the mix .. ..now where's Bevvy? And .. ..Poetre? Maybe just working too much .... .

Janet! Be thinking of you tomorrow.....the best of luck to you (which you won't need)!

Sarah! You must be home from Luke's appointment....Tell! Tell! :)

Mygawd......just been going through a mental list of all the words that Lisa has given us in ALS, trying to come up with a sentence or situation where one could use a smattering of them together for practice.

So, here were the first, obvious ones:

Surgery, stuck, penis.

:blink:

Don't know if I wanna pursue dat sentence.......

:lol:

Yup, just got home. The appointment was... a smidge disappointing as far as the constipation problem goes. I updated her on what I've tried with the df diet, fiber supplements, etc. She already knew about the improvement he's had on the gluten-free diet.

Her thoughts right now are that his system is sluggish due to... wait for it... IBS. :( :( Whaaaaaatt? I'm one of those who believes IBS is a symptom, not a condition. :( Soo... today was the first time in nearly eight years of her being our family doc that I've disagreed with her. But I'm going with it for now, for two reasons.

A- She is taking the problem seriously, and we're going to try step-up doses of Miralax to get him moving again. This is my number 1 priority right now, because if we don't do something soon, he's going to get seriously impacted.

B- I found out that the GI docs at Brenner's won't even take a referral for an initial appt until we've tried the Miralax. (Brenner's Children's Hospital is where I would take him. They're an excellent facility, associated with Wake Forest, and they actually have a major pediatric Celiac center. Yup, all that less than hour from me. Too bad I didn't have insurance for the kids a few years ago. <_< )

She said that if the Miralax works well, he just needs to stay on it, on a maintenance dose. He may grow out of it, or he may need to stay on it for life. I'm not happy with that idea at all. But I'm taking it one day at a time for now.

She looked at the mark on his leg- checked out the pores with her scope thingy- and it's nummular eczema. Basically this is just a particular shape- circular, coin sized- of eczema. While we were looking at it, we found other, patchier areas of eczema on his hip. She thinks it's probably caused by stress from the bathroom issues.

Sigh... I just don't know.

Janet! Surgery tomorrow - zoigs!!!!!!!!!! You'll be in my thoughts. :) Be sure and get some good drugs.

Surgery, stuck, penis.

:lol: :lol: :lol: useful terms......come on Em, make a sentence!!!!!!!!!!!

sometimes I just completely chortle to selph when I think about all the naughty words and......bathroom humoUr we regularly use on here. :lol: :lol: Anal glands, penis, scrotum (tho 'tis a kangaroo scrotum, I believe), pee, wee, poop, boobs, phecal, phart chart.....what'd I miss? :lol:

sarah..........ohhhh. :( I don't know what to think or say about this diagnosis. Miralax, forever? Wow. Somehow, I don't think that's the final answer......but SO glad you can get into that facility later. You guys are going through too much this past year. I'm starting to wonder if your house is poisoning you! :unsure: (except, your hubby's healthy, isn't he?)

and BTW - I think others have learned that it's best not to disagree with......um.......well, certain person(s) on this forum. :ph34r:

Lord, I have to go to happy hour today. :yawn: You see, that would be REALLY fun if I lived in a great city like, say........Seattle, Chicago, Denver, etc. But here??????????? :rolleyes: You gotta take fun friends wif you because........the patrons ain't all the interesting. <_< (you'd have to live here forEVER to understand)

Why thank you, Tom :)

Good luck with all the new supps! Is the one with a bit o milk the probiotic? If you do have a problem with those they do make df ones. You are lucky she will give you a refund if you react, GOD I'd have thousands and thousands of buckaroos if I could return what I opened and reacted to after one or two doses :rolleyes::lol:

Surgery, stuck, penis.

I read that as "sugary", which I do believe would have a totally other meaning :nervouslaughface: :lol::lol:

Another sentence to chase away any new silly prospects, and possibly warnings for all.......

Sorry about the disappointing appointment Sarah :( I do hope the Miralax will at least get things moving in the meantime, that is for sure the priority.

Julie--"buckaroos" :lol:

Sarah--I'm sorry the appt wasn't what you had hoped, but good news that the spot on his leg was "only" eczema and nothing more serious.

I had a gastro in NJ who used the term IBS <_< , but still acknowledged that there was a cause. Hopefully, the Miralax will <_< work while a real cause is looked into :)

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
