Well.....here's the latest in the hospital saga:

I was asking my dad how he's been sleeping, as he's had some real trouble since he's been admitted having a good night's sleep.....and this, of course, is so important in his recovery. Rehabilitation is next to impossible with a patient who is only averaging an hour of sleep every night.

So, Dad told the doctor on rounds this morning that he really needed his help. "On nights that I get some sleep, I'm having a recurring dream where I'm lying here in this bed, and suddenly these three beautiful, naked women come striding into the room. They pull the curtain around the bed, and start tearing my hospital gown off me".

The doctor said something like, "So, what happens?"

And my dad told the doc that he keeps pushing the naked women away.

"Well", the doc finally said, "What would you like me to do?"

And my dad said, "BREAK MY ARMS!"

:lol:

See, my father would actually say this to some unsuspecting doctor who doesn't recognise him. He really would.

I just wish I could BE there, next time. .. . . . . . .

Ptaoughmghmn, may you have a day completely devoid of faux grepping.. . . . ...I hear ya on that one, and just HATE when that happens. . . . .. :rolleyes::P

A superb day in sports. . . . ....the Ottawa Senators have now won five in a row, and continue a thrilling charge for the playoffs (um.....as if, but one lives in hope). .. . . .

AND.....Michelle in a thrilling charge of her own, now in fifth with three dropped dogs. Yep, it is early to be travelling with only eleven, but if anyone can do it, it's HER!! :)

Dastardly David Dalton, who kept stealing third place from her last year, is now in 13th place. And my Jamaican hero Newton Marshall has slipped to 21st.

Man, he must be feeling the cold.. . . . . ...

*Some* of us don't know what "grepping" is :rolleyes: . Perhaps someone could explain? Just for the benefit of those in the dark....you see :D

Hmph! Barking dogs.....one of those irritating problems of communal life! Don't know if you should call animal control....dog warden....sherriff....the dogs owner (although the owner apparently was not concerned that his dog was having a problem). Hope you can get this resolved.

OMG. . . . something that I am just SO INTIMATELY familiar with. .. . . . :lol::rolleyes:

grep is a Open Original Shared Link text search utility originally written for Open Original Shared Link. The name is taken from the first letters in global / regular expression / print, a series of instructions for the Open Original Shared Link text editor. Open Original Shared Link The grep command searches files or Open Original Shared Link globally for lines matching a given Open Original Shared Link, and prints them to the program's Open Original Shared Link.

Now, just as I feel my eyes completely glazing over and my mind priming for explosion, we have this:

The term "grep" can be used as a verb, meaning to search

      The Dark Side of Gluten-Free: Counterfeit Labels and Global Food Safety Failures

      Interestingly enough, while I hear you. I completely disagree. Gluten has not been 100% removed. There’s still trace amounts under the regulated amount per millions allowed. I gave only figured out in the last year, while reading chats on this site, of other celiacs still having issues and how they figured it out. If enough companies allow slight amounts o...

      The Dark Side of Gluten-Free: Counterfeit Labels and Global Food Safety Failures

      I understand why that feels frustrating, because the labeling can definitely seem confusing. In the case of products like King Arthur’s gluten-free bread flour that contain gluten-free wheat starch, the wheat starch has been specially processed to remove the gluten proteins that trigger celiac disease. Because it originates from wheat, U.S. labeling laws s...

      Possibly. Your total IGA (Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum) is actually high so you are not IGA deficient. In the absence of IGA deficiency, the most reliable celiac antibody test would be the t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA for which your score is within normal range. There are other things besides celiac disease that might cause an elevated DGP-IGA (Deamidated Gliadin Abs, lgA) for which you do have a positive score. It might also be of concern that your total IGA is elevated as that can indicate some other health problems, some of which are serious.  Had you been practicing a gluten free or a reduced gluten free diet prior to the blood draw? Talk to your physician about these things. I would also seek an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel to check for damage to the villous lining, which is the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease.

      how long does it take for the genetic blood test for celiac to come back? I saw the GI today, she was great. She says I def have an issue with gluten and that my symptoms align more with celiac disease than NCGS, so she's doing the genetic testing, Ordered a test for SIBO but said that's just to cover all bases, she doesn't think I have that. If the blood work comes back negative for the genes, then I will cancel the endoscopy. If positive, I will try the 2 week gluten challenge and get the endoscopy done. If I can't manage the gluten challenge (I had HORRIBLE symptoms last time and quit after 12 days) then we'll just assume it's celiac disease and go from there. She says she does a full nutrient panel on all her pts every year, that was nice to hear.I'm on so many supplements it would be nice to only have to get the ones I truly need! so yeh, really anxious about the test results for the genes!! I have an identical twin sister so I'd need to tell her if it's positive, she'd prob want to get tested too. *interesting note: when I said if the blood work comes back that I don't have the genes, then I'm in the clear - she said, well,,,,,,not necessarily. But she didn't want to go into as we had a lot to go over. I did make a  mental note of that comment and will ask her when I see her next time.   she was very thorough! I was impressed! she even checked- up on some lab work I had done that my Endo ordered. I like her, I am looking forward to seeing her again. I think I'll get some good advice and info from her she also complimented me on my diet.   said it was a very gut friendly and healthy diet

      Second chance

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure why "colonoscopy" keeps coming up for you, again it would be an endoscopy to diagnose celiac disease, but it seems that Kaiser should still have your records. If you were diagnosed by them in the 1990's using a blood test and endoscopy, then you definitely have celiac disease, and hopefully you've been gluten-free since that time. You should be able to contact Kaiser for those records.

      Concerning GP advice

      By Russ H · Posted

      This sounds like a GP who is ignorant regarding coeliac disease. The risk with consuming gluten for several days is that it triggers the coeliac immune response, leading to raised auto-antibodies and active disease for several months. People may not even be aware of symptoms during this process, but it is causing damage to the body. As trents has said, the gut lining normally recovers on a strict gluten-free diet, and this happens much faster in children than in adults.
