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'. . . . . ....

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.

Don't know who was running the office today since the management was pretty much all in my living room :P We all had fun with it--and I was in it a little at the beginning....did not know this beforehand--girl who was supposed to come didn't.....I was nothing more than a prop, really B) It was just a training film to be distributed to the other branches across the country so it won't be my big break. :rolleyes:

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?

jerseyangel Proficient

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.

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Help me out here. Lauren Dam gluten-free beer from Spain is listed as gluten free. Yet its made from Barley Malt. I thought barley and any form had gluten. Anybody have any more information about it?

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
