Quite right, both of you. I has been thru Fresno (but did not stop) but don't remember if 99 goes thru Clovis. If it does, I definitely did not stop. Was on my way to Springville and got lost in the orange groves trying to avoid going thru Porterville. I kept easting and southing, and phinally phound my way. If I hadda known that Soozle was in Clovis I would even have detoured, provided she had some mojitos waiting when I got there :D :D :D

Good Morning, psills!

And also Ptaoughmghmnuss's appointment. Hope he stops in soon to report on that.

We figure we'll be around Acadia National Park somewhere . . . I'm having a hard time navigating my atlas. There's a bazillion towns along the coast . . . all with populations under 1000 and everyone of them gets a dot. :blink: . . . I bought reading glasses . . . :ph34r:

great idea!

We did go to Acadia and it was WONDERFUL but I wasn't gluten-free at the time.

sorry. try to get to pass through Wells Maine.

"Well, you must spend a lot of time on the Trans-Vaginal Highway".

We had some trauma on the trip and.....Weezee got kicked out of Sophie's mom's/uncles'condo :blink: there was screaming on the phone (from her mom) and a really psychotic attack - was very, very sad and traumatic (her mom is CRAZY)

WHAAAAaatttt?!?!?!? :o

Glad yer enjoyed it in the end :)

- OH!!! they took away all me many channels - no more HBO movies

OH now ---come ON!!!

<I never know if M's playing wiv us?>

T'would make a great scene in a movie methinks? :lol:

Got now't.... 'cept some random thoughts....

:lol:

DaY 1 of 7 week school holiday

<make them go away!>

..have to take DC to get his fixed brace Wed, then the day after he has an interview at a college (for a part time course in Catering)

SO, I'm thinking

1) He won't be able to talk coherently at his interview due to the brace

2) I should really consider getting him RE-tested for celiac disease before he embarks on a career in the food industry

:blink:

GADS - BRIDAL SHOWER?!?!

WIH??...do we have them in Blighty??

SO much organising for our Leesah!

GIan-knit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gad, I really do wish that I HAD made this up... . . ......quite phunne here, but I was not within a very......appreciative? like-humoured? laid back?? NORMAL???.....audience at the time. Trans-Canada, Trans-Vaginal - - same inflection, same number of syllables, same intonation... . . ....an easy, almost expected slip, wouldn't everyone say? :huh:<_<:rolleyes:

1) He won't be able to talk coherently at his interview due to the brace

Bah! Those college interviewers have to be completely accustomed to this, Nik.... .....methinks ALL teenagers talk sparingly, and in muffled, monosyllabic grunts -- should be nuthin' new..... . . ..

I heard me name being called and found me psilly at the same time- it's SERENDIPITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Methinks that life would be much more fun if we were all hammered :lol: (especially baby showers- all that OOH AHH.......blech!)

I missed my silly and MY PSILLIES!

Leesargh's got her psilly back- yes. Em, what WAS your MIL doing whilst you were away :huh: ? On the TVH? (trans-va jay jay highway) Or......having too much phun by herself :lol: She found what you had hidden in yer bedside table and tried to insert it in the mattress?

Gianknit- Cannot believe you had a convict story! :ph34r: Glad you are safe. YES! Gianknit's coming to Maine...so many ideas for you! It's so beautiful.......how long will you have. I'll email you but there are so many great places- must see Acadia National Park (Bar harbor is a wonderphul town too). You could easily spend a week there and still have more left to do (hiking, biking, swimming, going out on a boat or whale watch). Or you could do a coastal trip and hot Bar Harbor, the Camden area and Boothbay.

There is a gluten-free bakery in Wells- the woman who runs it made my wedding cake before I was gluten-free! Her name is Traci Anello but the Maine coast is big so you'd want to be mid-Maine which would be like Portland, LL Bean, Ogunquit. Shoot me an email and I can blather on.

:lol::lol: Well, c'mon, it's not like we're talkin' about an Masters in English er sumphin'. .. . . . ...

This is excellent, Jyess! You smarty-sciency-numbers-yuckystuff-pants, you! ;):D

New Zealand is on my top ten list too Shroomie!

All right, I must recount to you all what transpired a couple of nights ago, the evening before MIL flew home. We were at the B and SIL's place for dinner, with in-laws literally everywhere.....

Listening along, I suddenly piped up, "Well, you must spend a lot of time on the Trans-Vaginal Highway".

I wonder what the speed limit is on that roadway? Long and winding, or direct? Any detours?

I was waiting for you to volunteer to go through it with me. Sort of long-distance barmy buddies, weighting our data points together.

      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
    • trents
      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.
