Good Worm-free morning, Psills! (Have SO often wanted to greet friends with this salutation, but have never had a time that fit.. ..!) :huh::lol:

YIPPEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but.............then what is wrong with Charlie????

Nothing is wrong wif 'im, thank gawd. :wub: The heartworm test is given every two years to make certain the disease is not present, so that preventative meds can continue (apparently it can be dangerous for dogs to be on the preventative if they have heartworms already present). So, a sudden positive appeared, completely by surprise. As the day wore on after this, I was truly beginning to worry, as symptoms of the illness do not appear until things are advanced, and Charles does have a couple of symptoms -- he coughs and gags at times, something I was, correctly I know now, attributing to the scar tissue from his devocalization. He also has some laboured breathing after running, another possible heartworm symptom.

SOoOooooO, what a relief.

Yes, whot in hell are these li'l things? Inulin -- think this might be baaaaaaad stuff. Super-refined food additive, is it not? Used as a sweetener... . .. ..... ..like sucrose. . .... . .must do some reading.

YAY! Some reading about something other than heartworms!

I'm so happy your baby is ok! I can't believe people devocalize dogs. can you say obedience school?!?!?!

I believe inulin is a food based fiber additive. Used in yogurt?

Robotics is going well so far. Some guest in the hotel kept complaining about the kids. They were asleep for hours and he kept calling the desk to complain. Robot working well so far.

Glad to hear it's going well!

I joined Weight Watchers this week. I have a bet with a friend that I would lose 25 pounds by October 1st. It was made last October and so far I have lost nada . . . so I figured if I want to have any sort of chance, I better get started. Soooooooooo, Jess, what are these fruity fiber crunchies of which you speak? :rolleyes:

Good for you, I know a lot of people who have had great results from WW. I've always wanted to try it!

Oh . . . forgot to mention . . . no vomitous episodes from Skeeter for the last two weeks (although I am expecting one within the next few days)

Yeah!!! Don't wait for it, just go with it ;)

FALSE POSITIVE!!!!!

WooHoooooooo!!!!

that's fan*f&@#ing*tastic!!!!!

Tru Dat!!

EXACTLY. :angry: :angry:

Any dog can be trained to keep the barking to an absolute minimum. This horrendous butchering of the dog's larynyx causes a compromised airway and very often behavioral issues, things that we are having to deal with in Charles' "rehab". These dogs cannot communicate, so they are often nervous, pushy and deal day-to-day with the stress of having the inability to make ANY sound. He is coming along slowly... . . quite a project.

But at least he has Elsie in place, a very competent and willing interpreter. Charles will go to the window and make his pitiful, gasping attempt at a bark, and Elsie moves in immediately right beside him, conveying his doggie-message... . . . .... :rolleyes::lol:

Oh Thank Gawd!!! My reign is over!!! I thought it would never end!!! . . . Oh, and a congratulations to you Rayshell. Ummmm . . . tis a wonderful honoUr . . . no problems really . . . quite a joy . . . :rolleyes:

Oh . . . forgot to mention . . . no vomitous episodes from Skeeter for the last two weeks (although I am expecting one within the next few days).

So within 24 hours of this post . . . both the dog and Smackl have vomitted!!!! (Skeeter's still good, though). I'm not worried about Smackl. I think he got a bad corn dog at the school lunch. JoDog, however, had another seizure last night. This is the second one that I know of and it's been quite a while (9 months?). It wasn't as bad either. She and I took a really long walk last night and I'm kind of worried that I pushed her over some limit. I didn't take her to the vet because last time they just did a bunch of blood tests that came back fine and said that happens sometimes and they won't do anything about it (medication) unless it happens a lot (weekly). She does have her annual appt coming up so I'll bring it up then unless she has another before then.

ALL HAIL HER MAJESTY, QUEEN RAY SHELL!!!!

(who seems to have gone into hiding after her coronation)

Does the crown not fit, your majesty? Is the train too long? - we can call the royal dressmakers. Is the sceptre too heavy??? Are the robes a bit grubby and smelly from Skeeter's vomitousness and need a bit of drycleaning??

Do let us know how we can help your majesty adjust to her royal duties :lol:

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      And thank you for your encouragement. I am glad that her body is doing a good job fighting it. I also just want clarity for her moving forwards. She was only 6 for the last round of testing and she's 10 now, so I'm also hoping that makes a difference. It was weird during her last round of testing though, because right before her biopsy, we'd upped her gluten intake by giving her biscuits made from straight up vital wheat gluten, and her labs actually normalized slightly (lower ttg and her ema went negative). Bodies just do weird things sometimes! lol

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      The first negative biopsy in 2021 just said "no pathological change" for all the samples, and the second one in 2022 said "Duodenal mucosa with mild reactive change (focal foveolar metaplasia) and preserved villous architecture." So I think Marsh score 0 in both cases, though it's not actually written in the pathology reports. I'm really hoping to get a clear positive result this time, just for her sake.

      Blood results

      By Wends · Posted

      Hopefully the biopsy gives a conclusive and correct diagnosis for your daughter. Im in the UK and have been in the situation a few years ago of trying to rule celiac in or out after inconclusive results. Many symptoms pointing to it including the classic symptoms and weight loss and folate and iron deficiency. You have to play a waiting game. I also had the label of IBS and likely food allergy. Genetic test showed low risk for celiac but not no risk. It sounds like the Gastroenterologist is on it and hopefully will diagnose what it is correctly. Food hypersensitivity (allergy) can also cause similar symptoms and inflammation as well as mimicking IBS. Milk / dairy and wheat (cereal grains) being the biggest culprits. The “oesophagitis” and “gastritis” you mentioned can be caused by another gastrointestinal disorder called “eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders”. These are named depending on which part of the gastrointestinal tract is affected. For example eosinophilic oesophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and more rare eosinophilic colitis. They are antigen (allergen) driven. When the blood test measuring anti-ttg antibodies is positive in absence of a positive ema test - which is more specific to celiac, this can also suggest food hypersensitivity (allergy). Usually delayed type allergy similar to celiac but not autoimmune if that makes sense. In this case the ttg antibodies are transient. Which happens. I’ve first hand experience. For info, evidence of villous atrophy too can be caused by food hypersensitivity. Not just by celiac disease. In Egid disorders the six food elimination diet, under a dietitian and gastroenterologist care, is the dietary protocol to figure out the culprit or culprits. Sometimes only two food elimination diet is used at first. The number one culprit is milk protein / dairy. Followed by wheat, eggs, soy, fish and seafood, and nuts. Most are only reactive to one food group or two. Most are only reactive to milk. Hope this is a helpful reply.

      Wow, the system is crazy isn’t it? Maybe switch Doctors if you can. It’s surprising from what you’ve written it seems obvious it’s celiac disease. The “potential” diagnosis means celiac is developing and it basically just hasn’t done enough gut damage to be captured on the biopsy yet, and meet that “criteria” to satisfy the current system! Given the overwhelming evidence already - family history, positive ttg and ema. And your own experience and intuition which counts far more. And the labs being reproduced after gluten elimination and reintroduction- elimination and reintroduction diet is the gold standard too. Shame on the Doc and the system. What was the Marsh score? I’m guessing not 0 if it’s potential celiac. Meaning the autoimmune process has been triggered and started. Your daughter is obviously very healthy and her immune system is putting up a good fight. It can take years for the gut damage to build to a point where there’s overt symptoms and then a conclusive diagnosis, hence why many celiacs receive diagnosis later in life. You can prevent it. See the positive and the gift in that. Hopefully the gluten challenge confirms it, but if it doesn’t maybe get a second opinion?
