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.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      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.

      I made it through the holiday w/o being glutened. I had my brother cook with gluten-free breadcrumbs and I didn't get sick. I baked cookies with gluten-free flour and had dry ingredients for cookies in ziplock bag. I also made gluten cookies as well and guess I did good washing to avoid CC. My wife also went to a french bakery and bought a gluten-free flourless chocolate cake dedicated gluten-free it was out of this world. 
    • xxnonamexx
      What do you mean it would not allow any celiac to eat gluten again. I think if this helps cross contamination when eating out at a non dedicated gluten-free restaurant this would be nice not to encounter the pains. But is their a daily enzyme to take to help strengthen the digestive system?

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.
