Got on here to find some giggles. I found some, but they quickly turned to sobs. I swear, if I hear 1 more person say, "At least it wasn't a cat or a dog, that would have been worse..." I shall SCREAM!!!

WIH??? Love is love :( Jeepers, I loved Mocha and only "knew" him by the pictures and you telling us all about his antics. What a sweet, wee lil' fella--I don't think I'll ever forget the sight of his nose in the paper roll. :wub:

He had such a happy life with your family, Rach. Hug each other a lot and let yerselphes feel ;)

Oh Rachel, I am so sorry about Mocha. Never saw the wee fella, but bunnies do worm their way into your hearts. Grieve now and then remember later :wub:

Max is my saving grace. He keeps looking at me like he's expecting me to explode at any second (I waited for the massive waterworks until they were at school), but I asked him if he was sad this afternoon and he said, "Not anymore... Can we get a dog tomorrow?!" :lol:

We just had the burial. Poor Maddie. My heart is breaking for her. Max on the other hand was eying the box, then the hole, then me... "can I do it?" he asks... Um no, since he wanted to throw the box, with "FIRE IN THE HOLE" to follow. Now he's singing a cartoonish song about a dead bunny. Jesse just pulled him aside to talk to him about sensitivity....

Watch out that Max doesn't try ( or succeed) to dig up the body. I have known kids that age that want to see what happens.

No, actually not my boys.

I shall SCREAM!!! I passed a mirror an hour ago and it looks like I've been in a major fight. I guess I have though. I'm going back and forth between fighting with God and repeating the Serenity prayer to myself. Mocha was so very loved in his short time with us. I'm just having a hard time holding my daughter while she sobs, clutching her chest crying that, "It just hurts so bad mama, my heart hurts so bad"

RIP Mocha bunny -_-

So sorry to hear about mocha bunny. I will keep your family and her in my prayers!

love,

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

I don't think he could if he tried. Jesse dug the hole so deep that I could barely reach to the bottom. We let him shovel the dirt back into the hole. He was satisfied with that ;)

:ph34r:

OK.....I confess.....

I used to dig up my long-dead hamsters. I would dig up all the wee bones, clean them off, and coat them with clear fingernail polish.

....in the name of science, naturally :P

Sorry to hear about sweet Mocha :(

Had some blood tests run today. I've had swollen lymph glands for 3 weeks WHILST on antibiotics. <_<

When do you get the test results?

Did you put the hamster bones back together like a museum dinosaur?

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
