I am emerging from the tsunami drowned, gaping head wound, bloody staples, projectile vomiting a'la exorcist, pinning down a 5yo boy to keep him calm and gash free, 19 hours of OT in 24 hours world! It is my first day back to work in 2 weeks (besides the call day from Hell...)!! :rolleyes::P

I have read the last 10 pages, too much to individually comment on, but I shall say that I am sooooo happy to hear the good medical news, intrigued about the 3 vagina/forked dork marsupials, and I am also in need of boobs! :lol:

The hub is on his way out of town this weekend to have a 'boys weekend' up in the mountains somewhere. I am pretty sure I will be staying out of the ER ;) My hub, however, has just completed a bottle each of bourbon, vokda and rum to take with him. He may be the one ending up in the ER!

My dd went to a slumber party this weekend and learned to play Truth or Dare... One of the dares was to drink Pepsi straight out of the 2L bottle.... I am having high school flashbacks and panic attacks all at the same time! I'm going to have to talk to her about good decision making. Me thinks there is a fine line between talking to her and giving her idears :rolleyes:

Not sure what else to say. I shall tell a bit of a phunny story. So after the tsunami, son's gaping head wound, heart issue on the plane, son's vomiting-sending him back to the ER for a CT, blah, blah, blah... I had been holding up pretty well, no major breakdown, not much crying, I got to the airport anxious to get home, got in the wrong freakin line for security, made it ALL the way to the front of the line, passed my stuff thru the scanner, and the TSA agent walks over with my beach bag and asks if it's mine. Yes, I say. He asks if I have a jar of jam in the bag. Yes, I say (preface, I had been searching for this frickin jar of jam for 5 days, found it on the last morning and paid 10$ for it!!!). He says, you can't take that on the plane with you. I say, WHAT?! He says, You can check that suitcase there... I say, NO, I do NOT want to check my suitcase! The tears are starting to roll down my face and he's staring at me like, It's just a freakin jar of jam. Looks at me in the eyes as he DROPS the jar into the trash. Now I'm sobbing and now I have 3 TSA douschebags standing there staring at me fumble with my shoes and gather my stuff. My mother happened to be at the airport at the SAME time flying from Oahu to Maui, I ran to her like a 5yo bawling, she was bawling and my stepdad looked soooooo awkward and uncomfortable standing a few feet away and patting our backs :rolleyes: What people musta thought! To make matters worse, I went to rearrange some stuff in my bag and found 2 opened 6oz bottles of sunscreen that they didn't take away... But they took a security closed and sealed freaking jar of jam! :rolleyes::P

Glad to be home :D

Been thinking 'bout you, Rash....gosh what a time you've had--and I was wondering when you would let the tears come. So glad yer mom was there at that moment--and wow, that she was there in the airport was kinda amazing!

Thanks :wub:. We're all fine. The vaca was actually pretty good if you edit out the drama. My goal was to sit on a different beach every day and that's exactly what I did! I am in love with Kailua and I want to move there yesterday! Sleepy little town, beautiful beach, perfect weather... Life seems so much simpler there. So relaxed. Maybe a bit too relaxed when it takes 20 minutes to get yer latte and there's only 1 person in front of you :rolleyes:

Max seems to be recovered. I don't know much about head trauma, so hopefully we don't have any lasting effects! He never had any neuro issues though, thank God!! I really think this all happened because I am too controlling and I take on way too much! This was God's way of telling me that my husband can handle more than I give him credit for and that it's ok to ask for help every once in a while!! ;)

I told the kids I was never leaving them again. Madeleine just suggested I take them with me next time.....duh! :lol:

Oh Rachelle, so good to have you back where you belong, but so sorry about your travails. Please take care of yourself. Damn them for absconding with your jam. They probably had it with biscuits and tea!!!!

The shot was REALLY painful. Today I can sit up for shot periods of time. He said it would take 2-3 days to work. I pointed out another area i was having pain and he ordered a pelvic CT scan to make sure my hip is all right. It's funny that my spine is giving me more trouble than the celiac and might have been causing my pain all these months. So glad I changed GI's (plus new GI discovered the CLL).

Sending prayers that all my psilles are feeling well and surviving nature's wrath on us (we're due to get 4-5 inches and then flooding).

The scandal with the TSA used to be that they made young women take off thier underwire bras in the security line. Now they are absconding with young women's jam! Outrageous!

The boys have headed off in school vans to Chicago for the midwest regional. Can be watched on www.ilfrc.org We are team 2410 with silver cowboy hats. I will be flying up tomorrow. Could not ride for what would feel like 30 hours. :huh:

I know, tis ridiculous to leave me jamless yet I'm left with 12oz of sunscreen that I don't need here in Oregon! <_<

It was Lilikoi butter, which is the most amazing passionfruit jam I have ever tasted in my life. Eat it straight outta the jar!

I knew there had to be a name for names, just never thought about it. I am a double -ian, a Cantabrian - the province (also known as one-eyed Cantabrian :rolleyes: because of our fierce loyalty) and a Christchurchian (slightly broken :P ) - the city).

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?
