I just cannot understand it.....here I am, Psillyville Kween, and there has been NO official invitation, as yet, to the royal wedding for me in the mail. Gads, they certainly take it right down to the wire! It is in two weeks, and I have to book a flight, get hotel reservations, arrange for someone to take over royal protocol in my absence.. ....rather inconsiderate of them, I must say.. .. . .....Can they not appreciate that I need time to make arrangemnts before I go overseas??

P'raps they're sending the plane and have a wing in the palace already set up for you.

Hi Lo! Sorry you are feeling poorly. If medical bills are piling up, Tony should talk to the financial aid office. They take a change in financial status into consideration.

I got the odd message. Thought I was special but everyone else got one, too. :o

I saw something about the royal wedding guest list being small. I think the queen only gets to invite 300 people. She may not be able to invite every ruler in the world. Perhaps they cannot supply gluten-free food & cake?

Ahhhh....right, then!! Makes good sense. Of course, that must be what is happening. :lol:

That might be the reason. . . . ...Gluten-free food is more expensive and there is the whole worry of cross-contamination. I suppose with a quota of only 300 guests, the celiacs lose priority fairly quickly.. . ...

"Right, then! King Fahad - - in. The Obamas -- in. Mandela -- mark him as in, and we shall see if he is still around by the end of the month.. . . .....Gadhaffi -- hmmm....just put a question mark for now.. .. . ...Wait, who is this?? Psillyville Monarch - - bah.. . . ...a very temporary placement -- only 100 pages -- AND she has trouble with gluten.. . . . ...out, for certain. . . . . .."

Hola. Busy bee here. And it just keeps getting busier! I think I just snagged my first wedding cake..... I just quoted the price, so we'll see how she likes that :unsure: I also got 2 birthday orders for May and a possible one for this month! Excited!! It's almost nil after Christmas but picks up in spring. Tis a good thing though, after the holiday stuff, I need a break!

Glad everyone seems to be well! Jess--You still with BE? Was thinking about you the other day!

Me too!!

Bunny is good. He thinks he's the boss, lol. So much personality, he's fun to watch. The kids have one of those Cranium Superforts that they've set up in the playroom and he runs in and out of it like an obstacle course for about an hour, then he climbs back into his hutch and passes out! :P

What a fun bun!

Just got back from hub's colonoscopy. The routine kind you have when you get old. It was good he had it. He had 2 polyps, one quite large. He named them Harvey & Fred. He now has a tattoo as they tattoo where they remove the polyps, just in case. :ph34r:

He was soooo tired after being up all night that he wouldn't wake up. He is upstairs sleeping.

Perhaps the wild excitement is abating a little and they are transitioning into the slippers and quiet walks phase. :P

Hiya, Jyaghnutt! What are youse guys reading?

He was soooo tired after being up all night that he wouldn't wake up. He is upstairs sleeping.

My DH is scheduled for this proceedure in a couple of weeks, as well, also as a routine. ... . . ...I assumed that I may not want to be sleeping with him the night before, if I want to get any sleep.....at least we have an ensuite bathroom, about an eight-foot walk from our bed.. .. . .:unsure:. . .. ...

:lol: :lol: Indeed, this is exactly what things gradually morph into. . . . ....slippers and quiet walks... . . ..

<_< <_< I'da thought it would take longer.

No point in going to his house dressed in a corset or sumpin' cause half the time he calls me on the way there to ask me to stop at the store. Must think of some fun way to return to the previous level of entertainment.

      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.
    • Ello
      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

      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.
    • Ello
      Yes this information helps. I will continue to be pro active with this issues I am having. More testing to be done. Thank you so much for your response.

      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.
