Does anyone else dream about dead family members? I had a dream last night that my father and I were in Africa and that security had been told we had a bomb so we had to throw out everything in our luggage?.... :ph34r: :ph34r:

Not a family member, but I dream about a dead person now and again and it's always nice to see him. :)

Actually, last night I slept better than I have in a while--my neck/shoulder didn't wake me up....anyway, I was dreaming a normal, pleasant dream--woke up for a couple minutes, and when I fell back asleep the dream resumed :rolleyes:

YEAH!!! IT'S MONDAY!!!!! Hubby's back at work and dd's back in school!!!! I HAVE MY HOUSE BACK!!!!! I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown yesterday with everybody barking orders at me from every room in the house. Don't mean to be insensitive, but when dh is sick or down, he's like 3 kids :rolleyes:

Me likey phoul mouth Ptaum! You's speaking my language :lol:

Maybe she'll have even better, more inappropriate, things to say. :)

That's what I was gonna say :P Actually, I was going to say it yesterday buuutttt, computer was acting up!

I'm fairly certain you wouldn't let your kids run wild through the aisles and crowd around the sample stands yelling

"MOM!! CAN WE HAVE SOME??????"

to you while you are still on the other side of the store

But what about the parents who park their carts in the middle of the freakin aisle to wait for the samples what aren't even ready yet. You can't get around them and they won't move till they've got their sample!!! I refuse to go to Costco on Sunday's. It's like the peep's have done their duty by going to church and then the go to Costco and turn EVIL!!! I actually had some lady run her cart right into my 8mo giant pregnant belly trying to get to a sample and she said NOTHING to me as I'm doubled over and she zooms past me :blink:

Quite true. Mine would text me. :P

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I just spoke with her minutes ago, and she is being released this morning. I have to go do some stuphph at the store, and then will be picking her up. She should be home by noon. Thanks, everyone, for your support.

Yeah Peetah and Jacquie!!!!!

I have dreamt about them at the time they died or when they thought they were dieing. Creepy right? When oldest was 2-4 years old he used to see a "Grampa" in his room. It made him feel happy.

I love when everyone goes back to school & work. M(14) tried to tell me how many weeks of school left but I got severe stomach pains & couldn't hear. ;)

I have been at stores & actually caught children as they are falling out of carts. Parents aren't paying any attention. I see 2-3 year olds wandering off for 5 minutes & no parent or big brother folllowing. I keep an eye on them & then when either the kid or the mom notices I can point them in the right direction. I think my boys were about 12 & 9 before I would let them stay at the video section at Costco or Target & only together. I would sneak back & spy on them to make sure they were behaving OK. Must have worked. So far they are good kids - no arrests, babies, bad grades.

Recently at Borders, Mark literally saved a little boy from falling down the escilator. We saw what was likely about to happen and went running over--the mom was in an aisle looking at books and hardly blinked an eye when I told her he was about to take a tumble. <_< Scared the living daylights outta me!

So I microwave my fish stew and I'm sitting in the lunch room to eat it. A woman from the other lab walks by, stops, sniffs, looks concerned and says, sceptically, fish??

Yes, I say, and start to babble about how I didn't think about the smell of microwaving fish....

She waves her hand and says -no, it's fine. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a chemical spill or something.

Know this has been discussed - but I finally tried Udi's white bread.

I am quite certain it was the best ham and cheese sandwich I've had in close to 6 years----by far. (and how has it been that long?!)

Wow. All the buzz on that bread is correct.

can not WAIT to try this bread! am askeert to have it in my house, however.......I can envision toast w/ butter and honey going on at all hours of day and night :ph34r:

Quite true. Mine would text me.

:lol: *snackle*

Nope, just a thud and the bottom fell out :blink:

:unsure: whot? you okay Shroom? :lol:

Mmmm Udi's

A few months ago I was dying to finally retry something w/ yeti yeast - zero since candida "dx" in '05 & last yr bloodtest for candida antibodies was neg (well, highest of 3 meas was an 8 where 10 is "positive") - so poking around WhF saw they'd gotten the much-balleyhooed Udi's.

I was PSYCHED!!!

Before finding the Udi's, I thought I was gonna try something from WhF g f bakery but EVERY DAMN THING THEY MAKE HAS SOY FLOUR!!!!!

<ugh it takes me so long to compose #$%^& sentences these days>

:( Ptaum........still feeling perfumed/soyed, etc? This makes me sad.......SO want you to be better! Been too long.......should you just be living in a bubble by now? :(

Over a year ago, maybe 2, my microwave developed a mind of it's own......not counting down or heating up, but still running......not stopping when I want it to.........running when I DON'T want it to.......

Then it thought better of it and decided to behave.

Well now it's doin' it's own thang again! :angry:

:huh: Um..........Leesargh.......methinks yer microwave is in cahoots wif Geoss's toaster..........PUT HER DOWN! Get a NEW ONE! (microwave) I'm sure it's emitting evil.........diodes and stuff :wacko:

I just spoke with her minutes ago, and she is being released this morning. I have to go do some stuphph at the store, and then will be picking her up. She should be home by noon. Thanks, everyone, for your support.

Yay!! back home, good news Poeter! She'll be much more comfy there, wiv you and all kittehs :wub:

Bun Bun.........my dad died 22 years ago and just in the last couple of years, I am dreaming of him ALL the time. Last night, in fact, and earlier in the week........VERY bizarre scenarios.........not Africa, but - the bottom of the ocean, and houses that were being razed........all kinds of weird stuff

Hugs on three-year anniversary - wow, he must have been young :( Mine was only 56.......

After my mom died, I dreamt that her parents (deceased) came to me and told me Mom had been adopted.

I had my brother looking through all our records after that.....really freaked me out! :unsure:

I have a system now.

Set the time.

Shut the door.

When it starts running and I hadn't pushed START, yet (because it's not cooking OR counting down), hit the top right corner sharply. It will stop.

THEN push START.

Works every time ;)

I'm sure they sell Open Original Shared Linkas well.

hey....don't knock it! It's what Brian was instructed to use on his stump every day. :P

Also used as needed on little Lexi's bottom :)

      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. 
    • trents
      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.
