Mornin Judith B) Hope you get to that meeting and have a great time!

Amanda--you sound swamped! :( Hope things settle down at work and I especially hope that John gets some answers as to what's been wrong. You're both in me thoughts :)

Pataughmn!!! SO good to see you, but wish things were going better for you, too. There are times when I wish I didn't have to eat at all--ugh :angry:

Lee-saugh--I get the BeFreeForMe's too :D

Sillies-

I know you are all skilled in the kitchen--well better than me.

Anyone have a recipe for homemade garlic herb sauce for pasta?? I am hoping to find something so I can make it for me and John,

BTW I am taking this gluten-free cooking class next week. I am excited.

Mornin Psillies!!!!!!

Thought for the Day from BeFreeForME.com........

"Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon."

- Doug Larson

American Columnist

:D

Ahhhhh..LUV IT!!! I'd be eating lots more veggies if that was the case...and would actually enjoy them in the process!!! When I was growing up (in a large family), bacon was a real treat. When mom fixed it we got generally 2 pieces of bacon....just not enough!!! When I moved out on my own, I had a real brainstorm....I could buy a pound of bacon and have as much as I wanted. SO....I proceeded to eat the whole dang thing...got really sick on it...and couldn't touch bacon for a loooooonggg time :P . I have, however, overcome this insanity and love bacon again!! In moderation, of course! :lol:

oooohhhh, Tickle Tawm.....you need some tickle therapy....I guess. Wish so much I had some answers for you! Food and eating become a real problem in this house. Telehubby loves to eat, and would love to have meals already planned and fixed for him....which I do a great deal of the time. The problem is that MOST of the time I could not care less IF I ate, much less what and when! Puts a real hamper of the planning part!

Am keeping us all in prayer for healing, for happy positive outlooks, for satisfaction in our daily lives. ;)

I have been so stressed this last hour and this just made me laugh! Can one also purchase dangling members on this Ebay function as well?

I heard someone in the office here mentioned someone have kidney stones and they were talking about the surgical removal and it was a male patient and they used the term shaft.....had me chuckle!

Oh. One can actually purchase a thing that is solely designed for shooting marshmallows?? Man, what I've missed. . . . . . ... ... :lol: When and at what does one shoot marshmallows? (besides at a parade, of course) Stealthfully, at neighboUrs? At the cat? Out in the rain?

I did not know such a thing existed, but I DO know that I should be procuring one for my dad as he sits in his hospital room.....what a terrific thing to behold, my dad blasting marshmallows at old patients passing by with their walkers, or at the uptight nurses who charge in to test his blood. This would motivate him to get up and over to his window.....start firing marshmallows at cars whizzing by, or orderlies out on their break. .. . . . ..

'Tis a fabulous idea for rehabilitation.....gonna check ebay.

Reminds of a bus ride. The island bus is small, and we all know each other. One evening this guy gets on the bus with a piece of PVC piping. Another guy looks at the pipe for a few minutes, then says: potato gun?

First guy says: yep.

Second guy thinks for a minute and says: wife outta town?

First guy grins and says: yep.

      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...

      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.
