They are only OK. I took his bandages off last night, no skin on the inside of his 2 middle fingers, so I have them gauzed and taped together. I managed to keep him preoccupied in the tub last night with a swarm of ladybugs that have taken over our MA-bath, long enough to wash them up as best I could. They are no longer swollen and he can bend them a bit, so I think they will be fine, I think it's just a bad place to lose all yer skin :rolleyes:

You'd think 26 years of riding a bike, 16 years of driving a car, 10 years of pushing $300,000 ultrasound machines and 8 years of pushing priceless cargo in a buggy I'd have better depth perception.... :wacko:

Thanks fer askin' :)

Good Mornin', gang!

Not much happenin' here in my nation's capital. .. .. . .....snow and then A LOT of rain over the next couple of days. Great snowball-making weather currently - - I have been out throwing them in the backyard for Charles, who is obsessed with balls. He races after them, they plunk into the snow, he begins to dig maniacally, searching, searching.. . ......then he suddenly throws his head up, mouth full of snow.

Um, and no, Karreighn.. . ..this is one o' me dogs, not my son or husband. . . ..... .. .:lol:

My husband & sons have been known to chase a few snowballs. In fact youngest, throws them for Puppy & chases them himself.

Have to rush off to my bone density test. Apparently they can't tell how dense I am by talking to me.

Well yeah....in the bone dept.....

Reminds me--over the weekend I referred to a woman we were discussing as "handsome". Mark looked at me like this :huh: and then this :lol:

So, two things not to describe a woman as--solid and/or handsome. :P

Just heard from the PCP office. Bones are only a little less dense then should be - so I'm mostly solid. Iron is way up, almost normal. Wants me to see the saintly GI to follow-up & diet advice (how will that help 2 months from now?). Not sure what he would do. Had to tell the nurse that he had told me things that did not agree with what I had read on Mayo clinic, Univ of Chicago, etc & that I didn't trust him. Said she would tell PCP & call back.

Here's to solid dense handsome women!! :lol::lol: Ummmm . . . :unsure: . . . I think I fit most of that description . . . :lol:

They are only OK.

:(

Glad they're improving, though . . . and those little guys can heal so fast it'll make yer head spin.

RAST testing back for Skeeter . . . Level one for milk and Level two for egg whites . . . and a ton of other stuff not allergic (and I do realize that this is not "false +/-" proof.) Ped also thinks she wasn't on the Reglan long enough to clear up her condition . . . although she has not had any episodes for a while. :blink: So once again, we really don't know what happened which means it could happen again at anytime. Oh well - storing a few possiblities in me head for future reference.

I remember as a kid reading a book or maybe a movie, where in the future, we would eat a pill a day with all our nutrients & food. This would cure all our dietary problems. With my luck, it wouldn't be gluten-free.

I kinda remember that too, now that you mention it.

      What you describe is seronegative villous atrophy (negative antibody tests but positive biopsy). It is uncommon in coeliac disease, and there are other causes, but the most common cause is coeliac disease. I would pursue this with your healthcare provider if possible. Based on clinical history, test results and possible genetic testing for susceptibility to coeliac disease it should be possible to give a diagnosis. There is a bit more here: Seronegative coeliac disease

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Actually, it would be more correct to say that the genetic potential to develop celiac disease is passed down from parents to children. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually do. But it is also true that the offspring of those who do have active celiac disease are at a considerably higher risk of developing active celiac disease than those of parents who have the genes but don't develop the disease. Some recent, larger studies put the risk at near 50% for the first degree relatives of those who have active celiac disease.

      Hello everyone! Been a while since I posted. The past few moths have been the best by for recovery for myself. I have been the least bloated I have ever been, my constant throat clearing is almost gone, I have stopped almost all medication I was prevously taking (was taking vyvanse for adhd, pristiq for anxiety,fomotadine/blexten for histamine blockers and singulair). Only thing I take now is Tecta. I also no longer get any rashes after eating. Things are going very well. Most success came actually once I upped my B12 daily dose to 5,000 mcg. I do have one thing I am un able to figure out and want to see if anyone else has this issue or has experience working around it. Ever since I was born I have always had a issue getting fruits and veggies down. No matter how hard I tried, it would always result in gagging or throwing up. Always just thought I was a picky eater. Now that my stomach and system has healed enough that I can feel when something is off almost istantly, I notice that after eating most fruits (sometimes I am ok with bananas) and veggies, my stomach instantly starts burning and my heart starts to pound and I get really anxious as if my body doesnt know what to do with what just enetered it. So I am thinking now that this is what probably was going on when I was born and my body started rejecting it before which caused this weird sensory issue with it causing the gagging. Hoping someone has some exprience with this as well because I would love to be able to enjoy a nice fruit smoothie once in a while haha. Thanks everyone!

      i know i've been rather cynical and sad about being fully diagnosed in june 2025, but my boyfriend has been consistently showing me the wonderful world that is gluten free cooking and baking. in the past couple of days he's made me a gluten free rice paper-wrapped spanakopita "pastry", plus a wonderful mac and cheese bechamel-ish sauce with gluten free pasta (san remo brand if you're in australia/if you can get your hands on it wherever you are).  those meals are notably gluten free, but mainly he's been making me easy gluten free meals - chili mince with white rice and sour cream, chicken soup with homemade stock from the chicken remains, and roast chickens with rice flour gravy and roast veggies. i'm a bit too thankful and grateful lol. how lucky could i possibly be? and, of course, for those who don't have someone to cook for them, it's quite easy to learn to cook for yourself. i've been making a lot of meals for us too. honestly, cooking is pretty darn fun! knowing basic knife skills and sanitary practices are all you really need. experimenting with spices will help you get on track to creating some really flavourful and yummy dishes. coeliac is a pain, but you can use it to your advantage. healthier eating and having fun in the kitchen are major upsides. much luck to all of you! let's be healthy!
