Hi all from SAlt Lake City! Glad to see some medical issues are resolving.

Just got back from an official Irish dinner at PF Changs. Boy did M eat! Skiing makes the boys hungry and PF Changs is one of his Favs.

We stayed the first few days north of SLC in a beautiful condo. Then, yesterday, we moved down to SLC to ski places closer to The city. We were to stay in a Chase Suites near the university. It is a few blocks from PF Changs and across the street from a gluten-free pizza place. It has a full kitchen - oven, stove burners, microwave & fridge. Got there and it had been sold 3 weeks ago and was being remodeled. The Chase company had not told any of the people staying there!

A guy who just happened to be looking for places to put some specialized construction workers for a few weeks, came in to the Chase to find out if they had rooms. He heard Hub's plight and told him he had just checked at the Homestead Suites and they had rooms. So we are now staying there. It has 2 burners, a microwave & a fridge. It doesn't really work well for cooking but it's OK for breakfast & to keep my lunch stuff. Last night we had Snack Dinner - cheese, apples, crackers.

Had a good day skiing.

Great day of skiing!

Going to try Litza's Pizza. Was recommended by the gluten Free store in Layton. A whole store full of only gluten-free foods!

We also tried Taggarts Grill in Morgan at their suggestion. Yum! gluten-free buns that they could use for anyone's sandwich. M said I should get a big box shipped! They also had a peacock that sat right outside out window and a lovely calico cat that greets everyone. They have at least 5 bakeries in this area. Not all have stores but supply other stores and restaurants.

HEEEYYY, Royal Psubjects!

Well.. . . . ....I spent last night in the eleventh century, completely swept up in jousting, falconry, hand-to-hand sword and shield combat.. .. ....'twas so... .....positievely Medieval.

It really was quite a show. I explained upon entering just who I was. If you can imagine, NONE of the subjects there were apprised of the Royal Arrival and Walkabout of Queen Emily the 3000th of Psillyville.

They seemed to not even know who I was. :huh:

Incredible.

However, they had a rather impressive crown ready to place on my head, and here I am in my av, ready to reign over this clueless, rather barbaric Toronto rabble... . ...

Technical question: Can we still write something under our avs? I could not find the option to do so under "edit my profile". . . .....

Hmmmph. Some monarch.... . . ...canna find my way around me own profile.... <_<

'Tis so. You must have at least 501 posts to be able to do this.

The moon is full and bright. Where is Canadian Karen when we need her? And, no, the smart Alec answer "Bowmanville" isn't gonna cut it.

Do Canadian Karens howl at the moon? Turn into a werewolf? Perform sacred Wiccan fertility rituals? Run naked thru Bowmanville?

Hmmmm... Sounds like fun. Maybe Kansan Karens should do those things.

I don't use Shockwave, although I have heard of it. Sometimes stuff just happens. You might want to make sure you have the latest version. Open Original Shared Link

Less than six hours until spring arrives. Shroomie--you get autumn instead. :o

Tis a magnificent goblet! Fit for a queen.

Back from Spring Break. Cooper spent the week with Grandma & Poppa. He is now a spoiled dog. My dad walked him 3-5 times a day!

      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...

      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.
