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?)

I remember wondering this myself, Sarah.....your house is healthy, right? No mold, asbestos, etc.? Poor widdle Luke! let's hope the Miralax acts like dynamite, and you can reassess when his bowels are normal.

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

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

Yep. let's just drag ouselves away, and leave this one............ :lol::lol:

Yeah, Brian's pretty healthy! With the Miralax... Ugh, I know. What I'm thinking though, is that if there's an underlying problem, it's going to come through anyway, eventually. So it's a step forward no matter what... I hope... right? ... Sigh... As for disagreeing with someone, yeah I know. <_< Honestly, with the day I've had today, I'm sick of the whole stupid thing. <_< I am, however, incapable of letting something like this go. :(

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.

Yeah, that's definitely number one right now.

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 :)

That's what I'm hoping!

:wub:

Yeah, nothing like that. Our house is pretty new... only about 8 years old, I think. I don't think there's any nasties lurking. Honestly, these health problems have been going on for years, dating before we lived here too...

It's been a weird progression. Luke's potty problems, well at first we thought they were potty training issues. It took a long time for us to realize that there was a physical problem. Then my mom was dxed with Celiac, and I took a look at Luke first. Put him on the gluten-free diet, and all his problems went away. The only symptom that has come back is the constipation.

It's ironic, because it was the constipation and accidents that initially made me look at Celiac for him. It was only then that I realized so many other things could be symptoms... His dental problems, low energy and fatigue, dark circles under his eyes, the mystery low-grade fevers, constant viruses and infections. All that has stayed gone, and he does get terrible symptoms when he gets glutened-- wicked cramps, diarrhea, you know the drill. So I know gluten is a problem... it's just this one awful symptom that has come back and won't go away. :(

If I had been able to get him to a specialist before, and get actual testing, instead of always trying to figure everything out on my own... If I'd been able to do that a couple years ago, maybe we wouldn't even be going through this right now. Okay... trying not to go down the guilt road, I've already been doing the random tears and sniffles today. :rolleyes:

Good luck with all the new supps! Is the one with a bit o milk the probiotic?

Yeah .. .or sorta . .it's the pill that's an all-everything multi w/ 45 vits/minerals/enzymes/probi etc.

A separate probiotic from her does say DF.

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

I'd just misread surgery as sugary 3x in a minute before seeing this!! :lol:

Sarah - hope the miralax works well & you're right, the rest will get solved in time.

Susie hits happy hour!!!! :)

Tonight's 'Music in the Park' here has someone I've never heard of :o . .. That's rare. Anyone know Junior Reid?

Far cry from when they had Tower of Power!!

But down in Willow Glen there's a local band I think my friend is still in.

So I should go to one or some of both or SOMEthin!

Aaaaaand the Miralax works... too well? It gave him diarrhea. :unsure: Maybe I'll try him on a 1/2 dose tomorrow. Thank God he made it to the bathroom, because that poor little boy is empty now. :unsure:

Surgery, stuck, penis.

:blink:

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

:lol:

:lol::lol: ROFL :lol::lol:

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.

I think that's what I was dx with years ago....although I don't know how competent he was <_< He told me to take fewer showers (dry skin sopposedly makes it worse), wrote my a topical prescription, but also said that Crisco would work just as well. :huh: It hasn't come back since I've been gluten free.

Yeah, that's definitely number one right now.

Actually , shouldn't that be #2?????? :lol:

Of course you can't disagree! Didn't you know that reading product endorsements and 250 word abstracts on the internet means you have a PhD in . . . um . . . everything! :unsure: I feel like I'm asking for a warning . . . *scurries off *

Hee--yep, iron never constipated me either....never met anything that could :lol:

I understand that. Iron did nothing to slow things down for me when me villi were still healing . . . it just gave me heartburn!

Good luck with the surgery tomorrow Janet!!!

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      By trents · Posted

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By JettaGirl · Posted

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
