Have found the name of the health care system. Angela is in Newfoundland or Labrador.

She's Canadian. Gives me an in.. . . . .....

Also, did you notice the jug is about 1/4 full? :ph34r:

Hmmm... . . ... ..this could mean that she was admitted to hospital for kidney problems... . . ...she's what, 66? Looks like a decent room, kind of spacious. . ....she can afford a private room, methinks.. . .. ....that gets costly up here. So I believe that Angela is a well-off senior citizen with voidance/ nephrological issues. Okay, time to message her. .. . .. .. ...B)

I messaged an Angela from NL. Her birthdate may be 1962. It looked like a 2 at the end of the date when I looked at it again.

I keep checking FB to see if she responds. :unsure:

Kherrighnne, I canna find her.. . . . .:huh: .. . .there is no listing for Newfoundland, CANADA, only a few Newfoundlands in the States. How did you get her profile?

Could we somehow convincingly tie this hospital stay/disturbingly small collection of urine to celiac disease? That might offer me a smooth introduction, somehow.. . . ... .and I could get her on here.....SO many symptoms are recognized as possible indicators of celiac - -how about not peeing enough?

:rolleyes:

When I put the name in and searched, she was # 35 ish. She has a pic of herself with a man on the left and a younger on the right ( hub & son?). She lives in NL so I think this must be her. Am waiting for the FB police to come for me for stalking. :)

biggrin.gif Well the good news first.........the Dr just called and the stools tests ( we are all about pee and poop on this thread arent' we?) and the

C-Diff is biggrin.gifGONE FOR NOW!!!

biggrin.gifLet's hear it for Doctors who finally get it, research it and listen to their patients and look outside the box into the whole person.

I can only share this good news first with the friends on silly thread who have stuck by me and cared and supported me. I Know the odds of it coming back are there but for now I just want to celebrate. biggrin.gif

I've had a slow computer all day and have done 3 posts on here but the emoticons when i got to copy people keep me from posting so keep losing it.

Will go back and see if i can find some i wanted to comment on.

I know Em's orange jug was one...........I'm a dull knife in the drawer today.......and yesterday as thought it was Em's jug...........oye..........now the sillies are looking for the Real Angela...........OMG what a group we are.

Yay Judy, good news. That stuph is nasty to get rid of.

I am sitting here in a stupor, paralyzed by the stupidity, incompetence, and just plain "don't care" attitude of the folks we must do business with. I have been trying for a month to get my prescription for Humira sorted to take back with me - we leave Wednesday. A shipment arrived on Friday - yeay - for one month!!! :angry::unsure::huh: This was supposed to be a year. Needless to say it was not a pleasant weekend because the Medco staff who are on on the weekend really can't do anything. I had three people promise to call me back and not one did. I was on the phone at 7:00 a.m. this morning because I was told (on Sunday) that our insurance hadn't authorized it, but when I talked to them they kicked me back to the insurance company. THEN I was told there was an appeals form to be filled out for the insurance company (they have changed the procedure :rolleyes: )that no one in the last month had mentioned anything about (they all told me it was approved) and so I ended up with a six-month approval instead of twelve, but it was too late to ship it to me so I had to find a local pharmacy and then convince my doctor's nurse to call in the prescription for 6 months to the pharmacy which, after 4 calls, she finally did 10 minutes or so ago. I have spent the whole day on the phone.... And all this with a totally lost voice - I am Patteigh this week, all I can manage is a croak, a squeak, or a tremolo gruff if that makes sense. Some peeps even hung up on me because they thought it was a crank/joke call. I am exhausted..... .:unsure: and tired and ready to sit down and have a good cry, and so not packed and haven't cleaned..... Oh well, tomorrow is another day :rolleyes:

I'm back from the bowels of school hell. I've been knee deep in principals and teachers and pretty soon, my knee is going to be buried deep in that principals junk if he doesn't take care of this blasted situation!! Sorry-bit of a vent! No new news, we'll find out next week what will be done (or if my dh will be calling the superintendent again)mad.gif

Rachelle...both you and Janet are fighting the FIGHT with schools. Tell your hubby good luck and go get um......for me!

Janet at least you have a good teacher who is proactive so it will fall into place but the systems are sooooooooooo slow........we had Jason tested privately as the tester in our school system was a dolt.ph34r.gif

I'll let you know how it comes out.......remember this gal doesn't like to cook

WELL... . . . . .. ..I am going to search through the Angelas in question over on Da Book until I find her, and I will look closely at her photo. If she's got ultra-long eyelashes, thinning hair, small patches of dermatitis on her face, perhaps a pinched, exhausted look in her eyes from constipation, bloating and/or lack of sleep, hell, she could very well belong over here wif us ... . .. . . . ... :lol:

Yer phinally kicked c-diff's arse!!!

Shroomie!...UGH!! So sorry!....I can only IMAGINE the trouble you have getting the Humira set up when you travel regularly.

Terry has enough probs getting his delivered to our home - even though it's on prescription.

We've NEVER been brave enough to try and take it abroad!!

The fact that it needs to be in a fridge AND that it costs MEGA £££££'S seems to render people incapable of action blink.gif

"We need to go to New Zealand". I said "Yep, and I got us a free place to stay". I'll let you know when to expect us.

Yup laugh.gif

Hubs and I also have the same conversation, - also including varying parts of the US and Canada.

....we need an Ozzie psillie!! (to complete my travels wink.gif)

Yooz ALL welcome for the Olympics 2012 yer know!! wink.gif

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
