Ah, Miss Mary is a book in herself.

Wow, Shrooomie... .. is she ever! How lucky all were and are to have Miss Mary in their lives.... .she does sound like an extraordinary, awe-inspiring woman! Like a character from Bryce Courtenay. .. .. ...have you read any of his novels? Miss Mary is there, in a number of his unforgettable heroines.. . .. .....:)

Just got back from the drug store. Went to the Shoppers Drug Mart that is further away than my regular haunt, as it has a bigger freezer section. I happened to hit EVERY red light (should have counted - - probably eight intersections). It was hell. I'm closin' my eyes again.. . . . ...... :rolleyes:

was only ONE night - - less than 24 hours, and eight of that was in the car with a WHINING dingo............drove me MAD.....sedated her but still she paced MADLY on the way down...........and, she could not FIND me in the house!!! :lol: :lol: would hear my voice from somewhere (three floors and also with outdoor living areas)............was the funniest thing EVER!!! she had a GRAND time........squirrels aplenty ;)

Poor Dingo-dog. Last time she was in a car, an evil vacuum attacked her & threw her out the window. No wonder she was nervous. I probably couldn't get Puppy back in a car after that.

:lol: I'm still three or so pages behind but........wait until we teach her our magic symbols :lol: :lol:

And WHO is this Miss Mary - is she your aunt? sounds amazing......Bevel is right, we are going to be SPEEDING around wrecklessly when we is quite old ;)

Yeah, she is amazing. Just on Thursday she was talking about buying her granddaughter's car she left behind when she went back to CA. I said, Maary, what would you do with it? She (defensively): I've got the money! I CAN DRIVE!!! Me, Yeah, I'm sure you can, but safely? legally? She: Welllll, I don't have a license--do you think they would give me one? (Probably hasn't driven a car in 50 years! :lol: ) She has trouble cutting off telephone calls, but wants a computer because she is missing out on so much, and she knows it. But imagine, Mary and a computer!!! BWaHaHaHaHa!. If only she knew how we curse the darned things sometimes. Her love of a computer would last no longer than the first error message, which would proably happen in the first ten seconds.

Wow, Shrooomie... .. is she ever! How lucky all were and are to have Miss Mary in their lives.... .she does sound like an extraordinary, awe-inspiring woman! Like a character from Bryce Courtenay. .. .. ...have you read any of his novels? Miss Mary is there, in a number of his unforgettable heroines.. . .. .....:)

Have nae read any of his books, Em, but often contemplated them. At one point I decided I was going to write Miss Mary's story and even started taking tape recorders over for that purpose, but I was too late, unfortunately, as the stories became more and more rambling and circuitous and repetitive and just a stream of consciousness without any connections. I tried to transcribe and make some sense of it but it was a hopeless task. :( Sad, because she keeps saying, "I could write a book!" and if we could get it all together between us we could for sure.

Just push Alt and a number, and see what you get! You do need to highlight and increase the size, as they show up rather small.

Even easier, find someone's post that you like and hit 'reply', then erase the quote notations.

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies. Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree. Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant. That may happen even with endoscopy. Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end...

      here are the lab ranges. Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      Just diagnosed today

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
