:) Yeah Manda, when's Tammy due? :)

Congrats to her!!

How could this be broken?? HOW? HOW'D SHE DO IT??

Perhaps a coincidence - -a fuse suddenly blown.

I just don't get it!

:huh:

:lol:

Most likely the crutch tip lodged amongst the wires finally disconnected one. :P

Or random fiddling set it to aux input or, if newish, satellite radio input?

Good Christmas Eve Morning, Psillies!

Wow.....frothy screwdrivers in a Juiceman Junior. This sounds like a young NBA star er sumfin. :lol: They sound delish, Soooooze. And somewhat dangerous, actually .. . ..... <_<

Dear gawd, I have NO idea. Presumably, this is NOT an easy thing to do - -cause the car radio/C D console to die, independent of everything else, while being in the vehicle for, what. . . ...twenty minutes, collectively??? :huh:

Ptaoughmghmn, your comment reminds me that I relayed the crutch-tip story in its entirety (finding at the bottom of ho' tub, trying to unravel the mystery, involving you guys in the wondrous possibilities with Mr. Chow, Sam Hill Manhead - yes, I told her about him, as well - - ) to MIL.

HA!

........ It has started. The polite In-law Stare. I receive it constantly throughout the holiday season, from various BILs and SILs, and here it was, for the first time this season, from MIL.

:huh:

And then, politely:

:mellow:

Changing to the patronizing, oh-it's-just-Emily:

Good Morning Sillies Happy Christmas Eve

I am at work...hospitals never close..... I only work till 12 or so when John gets off of work on the dock. Which is nice.

The roads were terrible this morning, very icy even though we were not supposed to get ice.

Tammy is due at the end of April. She will be have a C-sec since they are worried there will be too many complications with a natural birth. We are watching the baby very closely. There were spots on her heart that they feared were holes but turned out to be calcium marks...but they need to watch the baby grow and make sure that there are no holes underneath the calcium spots.

She is thinking of either Victoria or Kiara as a name. I told her Gabrielle is off the table since that is my name should we have a girl.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

by Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village, though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound's the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

flourgirl Apprentice

Tracking Santa.....what a kick! I've just been looking at the photos and videos. Wonder how many kids are glued to screens doing the same! Pretty cool! :D

      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.
