I just figured out why the world hates us (the US).

Our president just said 'misunderestimate' on national television.

I'm going to go hide in the corner now.

Hey all! Just catching up :lol::lol::lol:

Psillyville makes my day!

Tawwwm, I'll be thinkin' of ya, and sympfosizin!!! Some memories are best kept deeeeep down in the subconscious :( . Don't think I'll ever phorget mine. Was already desperately ill, and probably already kleened out and still had to drink that nasty stuff.....mixed with gingerale....which I can't bear to drink to this day...probably never again <_<

Been busy with studies, and we had company pop in from Rochester NY. We got an email Saturday night that they were arriving on Sunday :o . It's great to see them as it's been about 3 years. We thought they were only staying Sunday.....but now we don't know how long they plan to stay. Funny! I don't think they are sure either :lol:

Glad to read all the psilliness going on. Later

Also sent out a special letter today. My son wrote a letter to Norman Bridwell (creator of Clifford the Big Red Dog). It's a big deal because Smack hates to write anything and he got really exited about this letter so I had to make sure it went out today!!!! Really cute!!! I hope Mr. Bridwell can read fo-ned-dick spelling or he doesn't stand a chance at figuring out what my son wrote!!

THAT is so cute!!! I hope he wrrits back!

HE DID!!!! Big Big Smiles on Smack's face!!! A nice letter for him and one for me and another signed poster and a door knob thingy. We'll put the poster (it's small as far as posters go) into a frame and then I'll let him take it to school. They've been working on letter writing in literacy, so this might be a good thing to show the class so they can see the benefits of writing a letter once in a while!!

OK, even though I'm playing to an empty house, I'll tell the naked guy on the deck story.

There's a site called couchsurfing which allows you to ask other members if you can sleep at their house for free while you're traveling. I signed up for it before my trip, but never made use of it. I did have a couple people stay at my house. One was a Polish boy who came here to work on his dissertation. He miscalculated his situation and ended up staying almost a month.

One evening I came home from work and my neighbor calls me

I saw your boy toy :lol::D

:blink: What?

Your new boy toy. I came home from work and there he was, buck naked on your deck!

:o:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Did you take an extra long lunch?

:lol: :lol: Funny thing, my hips been bugging me so I had to stand at the window the whole time.....

I'm pretty trusting.

They only stay a day or two, and most travelers are good people. Besides, I don't really have anything worth stealing, I tend to value experience over things.

Anything of value I've long since put "someplace safe" and now have absolutely no idea where to find it.

      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.

      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...

      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.
