*high five* on the charging of electrical goods Geoss!!!..... I myselph consider it a great achievement (gaaawd, charging the ipod requires a torch AND a magnifying glass to get the usb thingy in the hole :blink:)

This is an example of when having a child is handy. My boys can see the hole thingy for the usb in the dark. Oh to have young eyes again! :mellow:

I have accomplished my to do list for the evening which consisted of:

plug in mp3 player

plug in laptop

I am astonished by my own industriousness....

You are simply amazing! :P

Actually, wanna trade places?? ;)

don't tempt me........I'll be drivin' up with a Kitteh and a Sweet Oui-zell in no time :wub: (they are both real People Persons :) )

the 3's of you's are welcome anytime!

:lol: :lol: Um.........I do this ANY time I bring something EVILLE into my house.......if you eat it all in one day, you just do NOT have to worry about it after that :lol:

I think about it this way: Regardless of WHEN you eat said food, it totals the same amount of calories. If you eat it in 1 sitting or 5, it's the SAME amount of calories! Pheel phree to eat it at once!!! :D :D

So this morning around 11 I applied online for a job and around 2 they called me for an interview! Holy FRIGGIN crap! It's TOMORROW! These people really want this position filled... Um, what do I wear if it says 'business casual' on their website? Trousers, heeled fancy boots, and a buttondown? I gotta do the laundry....

Congrats & Good luck! My hub is in HR & he would probably say to dress a little nicer than they do. Maybe a blazer with the shirt. I'm assuming the boots are under the pants? Not too tight pants or any cleavage. You probably know all this but you might not believe the stuff women wear to work these days.

Oddly enough, I have to work hard to look my age. I tend to be so very conservative with my clothes that fun, friendly places to work think I'm stuffy and annoying. I used to work a hotel front desk so I KNOW what people wear to interviews, it's just unreal. A wifebeater? Really? And no, I'm not tucking my pants in my boots! I am planning on dark brown, perfectly fitted trousers, brown heeled boots, light blue fitted shortsleeved knit top, and also perfectly fitted tan jacket with 3/4 sleeves. And big buttons. Does that sound too stuffy? I'm going for fitted because I tend to choose loose clothing and it makes me look frumpy. And I can take the jacket off and the knit top will still look very nice.

Sounds lovely, bunnie! I didn't think you were going to tuck your pants into your best cowboy boots (unless its a saddle company) but.... I had someone bring a baby (& someone she met on the bus on the way over to watch the baby) to an interview. As soon as I heard that a stranger was with the baby in the outer office, I couldn't go on. I had to check the baby was still there.

I'm in the middle of a sobfest right now. I can't stop crying. I've been asking and answering a lot of hard questions in the past 2 weeks and I just had a major realization that we want 2 different things from our relationship, I feel like we are moving in the right direction to meet in the middle and nothing I ever do is enough. He asks something of me, I comply 100% of what I have in me and it's never enough. I'm crying all the freaking time and I HATE it. Why am I not enough? I asked him this and he had no answer... I'm a freakin wreck.

I'm really sorry, I shouldn't dump. I just needed to get it out and my son's sleeping and I can't scream :( I'm gonna go bake that cake now.

Aw Rah-shell :( I hate to see you so upset...please keep coming to us because that is what friends are for. I really hope you two can find some common ground about all of this. You've been working so hard in so many different directions right now, and you really need a break. I'm glad that you have your baking as a sort of outlet...

You can't fill a hole in someone else's soul. Your job is to enhance his life, not complete it, that's up to him to do. You are a vibrant, intelligent, loving woman and you are more than enough for someone who isn't hiding from themselves. You can't fix him. You can't make him see you for who you are. You CAN be the most amazing you that you are. Stop waiting for his approval, just be quietly awesome, as you already are. He will, or he won't, realize what he may be losing, but what he realizes is up to him, not you.

You are welcome to come up to Bainbridge for a weekend, if you don't mind construction and no kitchen. We can drink heavily and you can scream all you want.

      Inconclusive results

      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?
