LO! Sounds like your ulcer is eating you up! Is Clark going to the doc with you? Might help to have someone to speak up for you or ask questions you might not be thinking of until after. Also, write some notes to take.

I wish he could but my brother and SIL are flying in from Va. and he needs to pick him up at the airport at the same time that my appointment is. I really think that if the GI doesn't have any new suggestions (or returns to being dismissive) I'm going to try a different doctor. I've given up eating almost everything between the celiac and the ulcer. I'm sick of being sick.

I miss pfeeling psillie!!!!!!

Forgot the fake eyelashes and push-up bra and matching undies.

Really, what is the topic of this video? Something less interesting then what we are imagining, I think. Kitchen safety? Window coverings? Vacuum demonstration?

Ok. so this Santa doesn't show up well but I was trying to show his kilt and bagpipes.

Kherrighnne! You have a veritable United Nations of Santas... . . . .... do you have a Bengladeshi Santa? Lithuanian or Indonesian? Would like to see what a Trinidadian Santa looks like -- no big heavy red suit, I'm thinkin'. . . . . ....

You can creatively work those chocolate chip cookies into the film plot, Patteigh.. . .. ..Mark as the hapless furnace repair guy at your door, you the lonely housewife - - "Thank gawd you're here!

Thanks to all my dear psillies for the wub.gif and support. I don't know what I'd do without you or the laughter this thread gives me.

I've been on medicine for the ulcer for a month (he didn't want to see me before I had been on it for at least that long). Never heard about the blood work for the H Pylori so I'm assuming I didn't test positive for it. Of course we know the old adage about assuming. I've accepted that I won't be able to work for a while and hope I'll be able to get disability when my UI runs out (still praying for a Xmas miracle with the 20 week extension) but right now I'd like to be able to eat something and sleep at night.

Started tutoring the girl with dyslexia this week so at least I feel that I'm giving back. I'm very concerned for her. She would be in 3rd grade if she went to public school but doesn't know kindergarten sight words. I have a lot of work ahead of me.

Klark's been an angel. He wanted to know what he could get me for Xmas and I told him the support he's been giving me is more than enough. We're already spending enough on my son's tuition.

OK, time to shower and lay down for bit. Sorry I haven't been pfunny lately.

Dunno where I lost me silly, I must've dropped it somewhere out in the garden - maybe it's hiding in the petunias, they always seem like a silly kind of flower and every Petunia I have knowed has been pretty silly, yeah, that must be where it is. Will go look for it..... :) Yeah been reading along, all along, so it can't be that far away :blink:

Sorry, I thought I already did. :unsure: Mark works fer United van Lines and the video is to be distributed to the International Dept at the different branches--it shows the new guidelines for international shipments.

I played the homeowner--basically answering the door, welcoming the crew and then going over the paperwork with the agent. I was a natural B)

I hope the sillie makes it's way back to ya, Shroom :) I get like that too, every so often.

Now, eight years ago I would have loved to have known what those guidelines were. Do they include not stealing from the customers? :unsure: And not eating the box of Godiva chocolates she forgot were in her closet? :blink: And not ripping off her favourite Christmas Goose wall hanging :o ?? Not sayin' it was United van Lines....

Gosh, I am so sorry,I did not mean that to come out that way, that harsh :o I do apologize, profoundly. :( Went back and reread and said, OMG, did I say that? Just never got over it I guess:unsure: Lost me a special sapphire ring too :angry: Ya see, our stuph when it got here, we put some of it in the old house where we were living and put the rest back into storage with New Zealand Van Lines 'cos the old house was too small, so we never could claim on anything that was lost or stolen or broken because no responsibility could be assigned anywhere because we never knew who did it. We think it was the packers, naturally, and I did mean it that I really cannot remember who the van line was on the U.S. end. Was not meaning to imply that United goes 'round ripping people off. :( :( :( But that's how it looks :o

Unfortunately, I do not have any Santas of color. Except Eeyore who is blue. It is hard to find nice Santas that are darker than beige skinned. I do have reindeer made in Indonesia or Pakistan. It is a beaded elephant with antlers.

Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
