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.

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.

But Patteigh, you still haven't told us what they were training for???? I guess if you were the prop, you wouldn't need any props yerself :unsure::P

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:

Nik-Nik, you keep those toeses warm, ya hear?

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.

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk. 
    • par18
      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools. 
    • trents
      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.
    • SilkieFairy
      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
