POeter! What were you doin' going back and forth, T.O. to Rochester, for 30 years? Do you have family down there?
My parents owned property on Lake Canadaigua during that time. The property was sold two years ago. It was not permanently occupied, and when not in use by Mom or Dad the other family members would use it. Rob spent much time there writing, and the place appears in at least one of his novels.

Will do! Quite the thruway, Yonge Street is.....it eventually becomes the Trans-Canada Highway, does it not?
Yup, continue straight and, from North Bay to just west of Fort Frances, Yonge Street, known there as Hwy 11, is part of the Trans-Canada. We have not driven that route. We used the Hwy 17 alignment both ways in 1984 going to Vancouver, and returning from Alaska in 1994.

Really is a small world....Mark's sister lived in Canadaigua for a while while she was a student teacher. My family had a reunion there at the lake when I was about 12--and Mark and I have been to Sonnenberg Gardens and partook in some wine-tasting while there. :)

Maybe we crossed paths at some point :o

Good Morning, Psillies!

Welcome Acshleygh! We haven't had any newbies lately who have stuck around for very long - - so there is a lot riding on yer shoulders!

Um .. . . I have invited two or three forum newbies to join us over here in the last couple of months, and not a single one has even peeked in that I know of. .. . .... :unsure::huh: . . ...

Not one!. . .....(true)... . . ...

Am I frightening them with my mere invitations? Promises of penis-sling flowcharts, CPR songs, frank discussions on decapitation. .. . ....... .. .

Mygawd, everybody's living again today. . ....

Nary a peep outta anyone. .. ..... :unsure: ..... . . ....

I have most of our costume paraphrenalia ready for the big Halloe'en party/dance this weekend. I have dared Will to walk the six miles up Yonge Street in full dress (African Zulu warrior) to your store on Saturday, POeter, as we would then be all ready for the dance that night. I said that I would accompany him in costume. I know that there are many areas of Yonge where we would not even cause eyes to widen. At all. :lol:

The kids immediately chimed in that they would not be walking anywhere near us .. .they would, in fact, get on a later boat.

Bah! Where is everyone's sense of phun and adventure?? <_<B):lol:

Just a drive-by poop-in here . .. .

Ptaughmn's pleased to be in the homestretch of moving :D <yay!>

2 craigslist guys w/ a truck are due @1pm & I'll be sleeping in Willow Glen tonight. :contentedsleepingface:

Work's going better than expected :happysmugface: :lol:

Talked to Bossman some last night. He seems to think the stuff I'm doing - which is NOT what I was hired to be doing - is harder and more important than I believed it to be.

He said I'm "doing engineering", to which I replied "maybe we should revisit my pay scale then". Heehee :P

I'll soon be getting a desk and new pc w/ big widescreen monitor too! Yippee :):D:lol:

      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.

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      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...

      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...

      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.

      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.
