Bless his heart--I feel like we all knew him. Remember when there'd be a lull in the action here, and Em would call her dad and he'd tell her a joke or a one-liner to pass along to us? Always a good laugh--and it got the ball rolling again :rolleyes:

I was stunned and saddened to read about Emily's father. Em, I'm so sorry for you and your family, sweetie. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. Your father is a good man who brought happiness to a lot of people and he will be sorely missed. Lots of love to you :wub:

My beautiful friends. . ........ :wub::wub::wub::wub:

I am absolutely overwhelmed by your kind words, your support.. ......truly speechless. Of course, why would I be at all surprised, as I've always known you to be so much more than hilarious co-members of a celiac forum - - you are all really, truly my friends.

I sat and sobbed this morning as I read all of your emails. Thank you so much, Janet, for posting that great link from CTV about Dad. There will be more press coverage, likely, as the news just broke this morning.

Lots to get done. I want you all here on Sunday more than anything for Dad's celebration of life. Now that would transcend everything - -if you could all make it up here. I know you will be there with me in spirit.....I will feel you. :)

More when i can.

Thanks so much for everything, guys. It really does help.

You better believe it!!! . . . Hugs and prayers and strength to you Em.

Absolutely Em.

I honored your dad this morning by putting on glitter (yes, everywhere). I figured it would be something he'd get a kick out of.

We will, Em, for sure--all of us sillies surrounding you wif love :wub:

If you feel a little "goose", that's probably Jess ;)

mimommy Contributor

Hopefully this posts OK. My internet is being fussy today.

<sigh>

Emily, love, I am with you heart and soul my friend.

You have been on my mind all day and I desperately wish I could find words to tell you how much I admire you, how wonderful you are, and how lucky we all were to have witnessed your dad's genius in our lifetime.

I remember when my youngest brother was in grade school he watched "You Can't Do That" faithfully. He absolutely LOVED your dad and the crazy antics of dumping green goo on people. There was never anything like it, before or after.

It's a tough time for you. Feel the loving arms of friendship wrapped around you in a warm embrace. :wub:

sills. :mellow: My vanilla obsession is out of control. <do you guys even KNOW how obsessed I am with vanilla-scented perfumes, lotions, soaps, oils, candles, etc? :ph34r: > Crap, I"ll probably put vanilla beans in my shampoos and conditioners.

Today I ordered on ebay actual Tahitian vanilla beans to give more fragrance to my products that don't already have enough vanilla scent. :wacko: And, to make my own scented oils - maybe. :huh: Plus, three tiny fragrance samples from yet another home-scent crafter. :ph34r: I am on the quest for the perfect and longest-lasting vanilla. What a colossal waste of time. :lol: Yet, I cannot stop.

I need help. I haven't met a vanilla I don't like.

Okay, okay!! *YOU* must truly be my soul sister. I LOVE VANILLA!!!! It is my most favoritist scent, smell, flavor, taste...mmmmmmmmm. I have many vanilla candles, I love vanilla ice cream (my fave....bland, I know, but I love it)! I drink teas with vanilla flavoring. I love diet coke or pepsi with vanilla (I buy it in quantities because I can't always find it). We must be nuts together :lol::P

flourgirl Apprentice

Em, you've been on my mind since I've heard. We are all so fotunate to have met your Dad through you, enjoyed his humor and antics right up to the last. He is a hero, a genius, a man with admirable strength to laugh at all that life has thrown him, and in spite of it. He will remain forever in the hearts, memories and laughter in everyone whose life he touched. Hugs to you and your family.....I'm there with you and "the gang".

      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.
