Have found the name of the health care system. Angela is in Newfoundland or Labrador.

She's Canadian. Gives me an in.. . . . .....

Also, did you notice the jug is about 1/4 full? :ph34r:

Hmmm... . . ... ..this could mean that she was admitted to hospital for kidney problems... . . ...she's what, 66? Looks like a decent room, kind of spacious. . ....she can afford a private room, methinks.. . .. ....that gets costly up here. So I believe that Angela is a well-off senior citizen with voidance/ nephrological issues. Okay, time to message her. .. . .. .. ...B)

I messaged an Angela from NL. Her birthdate may be 1962. It looked like a 2 at the end of the date when I looked at it again.

I keep checking FB to see if she responds. :unsure:

Kherrighnne, I canna find her.. . . . .:huh: .. . .there is no listing for Newfoundland, CANADA, only a few Newfoundlands in the States. How did you get her profile?

Could we somehow convincingly tie this hospital stay/disturbingly small collection of urine to celiac disease? That might offer me a smooth introduction, somehow.. . . ... .and I could get her on here.....SO many symptoms are recognized as possible indicators of celiac - -how about not peeing enough?

:rolleyes:

When I put the name in and searched, she was # 35 ish. She has a pic of herself with a man on the left and a younger on the right ( hub & son?). She lives in NL so I think this must be her. Am waiting for the FB police to come for me for stalking. :)

biggrin.gif Well the good news first.........the Dr just called and the stools tests ( we are all about pee and poop on this thread arent' we?) and the

C-Diff is biggrin.gifGONE FOR NOW!!!

biggrin.gifLet's hear it for Doctors who finally get it, research it and listen to their patients and look outside the box into the whole person.

I can only share this good news first with the friends on silly thread who have stuck by me and cared and supported me. I Know the odds of it coming back are there but for now I just want to celebrate. biggrin.gif

I've had a slow computer all day and have done 3 posts on here but the emoticons when i got to copy people keep me from posting so keep losing it.

Will go back and see if i can find some i wanted to comment on.

I know Em's orange jug was one...........I'm a dull knife in the drawer today.......and yesterday as thought it was Em's jug...........oye..........now the sillies are looking for the Real Angela...........OMG what a group we are.

Yay Judy, good news. That stuph is nasty to get rid of.

I am sitting here in a stupor, paralyzed by the stupidity, incompetence, and just plain "don't care" attitude of the folks we must do business with. I have been trying for a month to get my prescription for Humira sorted to take back with me - we leave Wednesday. A shipment arrived on Friday - yeay - for one month!!! :angry::unsure::huh: This was supposed to be a year. Needless to say it was not a pleasant weekend because the Medco staff who are on on the weekend really can't do anything. I had three people promise to call me back and not one did. I was on the phone at 7:00 a.m. this morning because I was told (on Sunday) that our insurance hadn't authorized it, but when I talked to them they kicked me back to the insurance company. THEN I was told there was an appeals form to be filled out for the insurance company (they have changed the procedure :rolleyes: )that no one in the last month had mentioned anything about (they all told me it was approved) and so I ended up with a six-month approval instead of twelve, but it was too late to ship it to me so I had to find a local pharmacy and then convince my doctor's nurse to call in the prescription for 6 months to the pharmacy which, after 4 calls, she finally did 10 minutes or so ago. I have spent the whole day on the phone.... And all this with a totally lost voice - I am Patteigh this week, all I can manage is a croak, a squeak, or a tremolo gruff if that makes sense. Some peeps even hung up on me because they thought it was a crank/joke call. I am exhausted..... .:unsure: and tired and ready to sit down and have a good cry, and so not packed and haven't cleaned..... Oh well, tomorrow is another day :rolleyes:

I'm back from the bowels of school hell. I've been knee deep in principals and teachers and pretty soon, my knee is going to be buried deep in that principals junk if he doesn't take care of this blasted situation!! Sorry-bit of a vent! No new news, we'll find out next week what will be done (or if my dh will be calling the superintendent again)mad.gif

Rachelle...both you and Janet are fighting the FIGHT with schools. Tell your hubby good luck and go get um......for me!

Janet at least you have a good teacher who is proactive so it will fall into place but the systems are sooooooooooo slow........we had Jason tested privately as the tester in our school system was a dolt.ph34r.gif

I'll let you know how it comes out.......remember this gal doesn't like to cook

Shroooomie, I am sorry to hear about all this crap with yer meds. :angry: Hope it all get sorted out.. .. .... .

WELL... . . . . .. ..I am going to search through the Angelas in question over on Da Book until I find her, and I will look closely at her photo. If she's got ultra-long eyelashes, thinning hair, small patches of dermatitis on her face, perhaps a pinched, exhausted look in her eyes from constipation, bloating and/or lack of sleep, hell, she could very well belong over here wif us ... . .. . . . ... :lol:

Jeesh, seems like you just got here and yer leavin' already. You never did stop by . . . I had a room ready and everything. Hubby was watching Lord of the Rings the other night and said "We need to go to New Zealand". I said "Yep, and I got us a free place to stay". I'll let you know when to expect us.

Ugh....why does it have to be so hard :angry:

Yer phinally kicked c-diff's arse!!!

Shroomie!...UGH!! So sorry!....I can only IMAGINE the trouble you have getting the Humira set up when you travel regularly.

Terry has enough probs getting his delivered to our home - even though it's on prescription.

We've NEVER been brave enough to try and take it abroad!!

The fact that it needs to be in a fridge AND that it costs MEGA £££££'S seems to render people incapable of action blink.gif

"We need to go to New Zealand". I said "Yep, and I got us a free place to stay". I'll let you know when to expect us.

Yup laugh.gif

Hubs and I also have the same conversation, - also including varying parts of the US and Canada.

....we need an Ozzie psillie!! (to complete my travels wink.gif)

Yooz ALL welcome for the Olympics 2012 yer know!! wink.gif

It's supposed to be 85 here today! Autumn is by far me phavorite season, love the crisp mornings, no need for an excuse to wear thick sweaters so my abs don't need to be in a constant perma-flex :blink: , the food---OHHHHH the food!!!! Stews, pies, breads.... I pheel my belly expanding as we speak!

But, I need a little more time wif the warm weather, my tomatoes are just starting to turn red (all at the same time...) and my wee melons might actually mature ;)

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten.

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
