Gas? I'm staying upwind for sure. :blink:

Soooozeee, we sillies all will work on getting you back in the silly spirit. Or was that silly spirits? Perhaps copious quantities of red wine will work. You can get Jess to be your coach. Just watch out for any ideas about pudding, especially the tapioca variety.

And in these tough economic times, it is important to be efficient. During the 1976 presidential election campaign, President Gerald Ford had this observation on efficiency:

The three-martini lunch is the epitome of American efficiency. Where else can you get an earful, a bellyful and a snootful at the same time?

Cheers!

My favorite quote about alcohol is attributed to W.C. Fields, who was something of an expert on the subject:

Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water.

Mornin', All!

Well, I held mine.... .. . . . had three nice glasses of wine at a local club we went to last night where a terrific band was playing. Lots of horns, great vocals.....R and B, Blues, disco, Motown. . . .. ..superb dancin' stuff.

So now I gotta go work the wine off.

What in hell is goin' on? Where is the fray?? :huh:

Soooooozie! Come and visit!

And Ptaoughmghmn, too.....we read you just once a couple of days ago. Come and ask me about the crazy sax player from last night. . . . . . . ;)

Heheh....Em was having crazy sax last night! :lol: You need to tell us aaaalllll about it! Does sound like you had lots of fun. Seems like it's been ages since we went out to hear music and dance! I wouldn't even know where to go around here.

Aww Psuessle.....lost yer watchmacallits. Maybe you should look under Jess' dog piles (which may be in Pah-tays possesion by now.....not sure). Maybe Ptawwmms hiding them for safekeeping? Gotta be here someplace. I seem to remember reading about lost mojo's here a while back....has anyone figgered out where they go?

Overcast and 68 degrees this am!!! Rain coming..which we really need. I can't believe how dry the ground is. It's amazing that 70 degrees in the house feels so d**m cold. I wear lots of layers. BUT 70 degrees in sunshine is warm enough for T-shirts :lol: Maybe I need to design some type of heat that feels like sunnyshine! (but it has to be cheap to run!) Any ideas out there? :D

Hope you all have a great day today! We're all upright and breathing.....sometimes we have to be grateful for that much :P

      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.
