Aw Nik...sometimes tough love is all you can do. Hope it helps him straighten out.

Poor Tel - Shingles are soooo not fun or psilly.

Spare room - Should really like to come to the UK, Olympics or not. Hmmmm....

Keep hearing about these bloody aftershocks, Shrooomie, and wondering how all are faring way down and over there. . . .. .

Will you be ditching the shaking winter ground soon and heading for your summer home?

Sshh, I'm afraid to say it, but they do seem to be moving out to sea a bit and you don't feel them so much out there as when they are under the volcanic rock :blink: But they say we can expect to have them for the next year or two :huh::o although they ARE down from four or five a day. :D

But YESSS!!!! we is leaving them behind shortly, like in about three weeks, whether the roof is finished or not (housesitter says she will see to it :D ) - what a REDTAPE HASSLE that has been :rolleyes: And whether my leg is all better or not, come hell or high water in fact.... whoops, don't tempt fate... and I hear there has been seismic activity in Nevada lately also :unsure:

I have chickens in my pocket. :ph34r::P :P

Cheep, cheep - how cute :)

Sadly, our (Tel & me) relationship with our youngest son (Devil Child) has completely broken down and he has HAD to move out.

So sorry it had to come to this Gnik, but I know it has been a source of terrible frustration for you for a long time. Have been worried about your absence and knew something must be afoot :( But yes, you have to do what you have to do and it may well turn out the best for him too. Have you been able to get some supervision for him?? Sorry, don't mean to be nosy :o

Sorry DK. :( Maybe being out on his own will teach him some sense.

Despite having bought two chargers before going to Spain, I can find nothing with which to charge my camera. :blink: I hate to have to buy a 4th charger...

Heyy Psills - how 're we doing??

Seriously need a picture of them!!

Lots of change is aphoot over 'ere.

Sadly, our (Tel & me) relationship with our youngest son (Devil Child) has completely broken down and he has HAD to move out.

This saddens & troubles me as he is only 16yrs old but simply CANNOT have him threatening me. - the stress was enormous living with his behaviour dry.gif

LOts & lots of stuph has gone on - mostly hideously embarassing for me to admit as I gave birth to him rolleyes.gif but we've finally reached the end of the line.

Our eldest son (22yrs) is also moving out (but under normal circumstance...will be flat sharing with a pal. Bachelor pad!! tongue.gif)

Soooo with just Alzey at home I'm feeling a slight 'empty nest' syndrome.

The upside is with the 2012 Olympics coming I've got 2 empty beds for any psills who wanna come wink.gif!!!!

What else....OH, and Tel's got shingles dry.gif Think stress had a part to play in that tho'

Carry on yooz peeps smile.gif

Hang in there Nik!

How old is he? Tony and I have had a horrible relationship over the past few years and it seems to have turned a corner. I imagine it will get even better when he learns about the cancer.

Sometimes parents have to do the right, not easy, thing. I'm proud of you and am here for you whenever you need to vent.

Love,

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Off to the oncologist today. Will keep you all posted.

We had 2 days without rain in April, and I think this is the second one in May. People would get off the boat, into the rain and do the Charlie Brown "AAAAAAaaaagggg"

Hi Psilles,

This will be quick as I don't feel very psilly right now. I got turned down by Disability! Now I have to start the appeal process. I started it online and it's endless. But, I didn't get on here to complain. I just miss you all and wanted to let you know I'll be offline a few days because I can finally have my lumbar and (hopefully) shoulder injections tomorrow. So it will be more rest and pampering for me. Tony comes home on Friday so I'll tell him about the CLL in a few days.

Love & Hugz,

      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.

      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...

      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.
