It was such a mess. I almost got the first one and she freaked and sprayed me with dirt. So now my eyes are streaming from the dirt in them and I'm spitting it out of my mouth, and it starts to rain. I dust off a bit and manage to catch her and stuff her in the coop, then go after the other one. By the time I catch her it's really raining so when I pick her up she coats me with mud. And this is not chucks of dirt, this is the fine dust that has settled into her feathers that she manages to spray me with and it sticks to my wet face and arms. I think only a mud spraying device could have been a more effective dirtifier.

Jyesss's kids are now going through that stage where she's counting the moments until they move out. . .. . . .... :P

Not sure what that could be. Be careful! It might burn!

Its been cloudy here but no rain on the radar. Got ready to go out & plant some flowers. Opened the door and it started pouring! Guess I'm not supposed to garden today.

Just got back from the Chimacum Farmer's Market where I purchased half a cow from someone who is lucky he was born into a farming family.... :unsure::ph34r:

As a bonus I got to hear Ravel's Bolero on banjo. :huh:

Was watching the last few laps of the Indy 500. When I first started watching, a guy named Baguette was leading! Since his first name wasn't Gluten Free, I hoped he wouldn't win. He didn't. He had to make a pit stop.

No surprise that he had to make a pit stop..... . . . .he's not gluten-free, so frequent , there's-no-way-I-can-put-this-off bathroom visits happen regularly, I reckon.....cripes, that must play hell with his times... .. ....

Okay, I'll ask the obvious question - HIH is that going to fit in your refrigerator? And was it the right or left half?

I'm assuming that Jyesss has a good-sized chest freezer.

Hmm. Left or right half. . . . . ....is one better than the other? I suppose that would depend on whether the poor creature was right or left-handed - - its dominant side would likely be ropey and tough, with all that used muscle matter... . . . . . ... ..

Right, then, so anyone who's considering butchering me for their freezer, call dibs on my RIGHT half, as I'm a southpaw.....

I'd want the back half, cuz you have to feed the front half. :ph34r:

It'll be a month before we get it. They actually take the cows in for "processing" per order. I'm dividing it up amongst me, BE, and some friends of mine.

      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.
