I was surprised and just answered "pink eye" and left . . . but the more I thought about it the madder I got . . . What's it to ya?? Mind yer own business!! Why aren't you at work?? . . .

Re:

Gianknit- You simply must stop abusing Smack :lol: :lol:

So this morning, shortly after I discovered that Smack had pink eye and called him in sick (he missed a field trip) and called meselph in sick (boss wasn't too happy but she's a mom, she understands) and made an appt wif the ped doc, Smack's eye started looking a little better!! :o:o So I sez to him I sez "That eye better start getting red again or I'm gonna start poking you in the eye!!" . . . :lol::lol: . . . You'll be happy to know that my threat worked. I had to do NO poking and it was still quite obvious to the doc that he had pink eye . . . . wheeewww.

Also, since we were there and sans Skeeter, I bribed him to get his flu shot. Some may remember that I had started a thread maybe 6 months ago about taking him to a therapist about his medical phobias . . . then again, you may not . . . anywho, he has been working wif a therapist to help. And it did. It was still a little rough but overall probably the best experience in several years. No screaming, hysteria, and we didn't have to hold him down. (FYI, he's not allowed to have the flu mist because of his asthma tendancies). What a relief to have it over.

Speaking of a relief to have it over . . . just got back from voting. Was an hour and 10 minute wait. Hubby was suppose to travel today and voted by mail last week. Think I'll try that next time!!!

Glad you didn't have to smack the Smack. Also glad his shot went well. :D Hope his eyes go back to blue (or green or brown- just NOT pink.) Uhm...have you seen Knocked Up? Do you know where pink eye comes from?

Poor Smack.........

They were having a bake sale where I voted!!!!!!!!! I looked but no gluten-free goodies!

This is absolutely PHANTASTIC. Not that you all had to wait so long, Janet, but this: These long lines suggest huge voter turnout - - everyone is talking about the massive voting numbers down there. I am very, very ashamed to report that a mere 59% of the voting population in Canada exercised this vital right in our last federal election a couple of weeks ago. Over a third of our population did NOT VOTE!!! :o:o

The American sense of duty, of raw patriotism, is truly admirable.

Sooozie, get outta dat sick bed and perform your civic duty!! ;):P

Too bad you cannot phone in yer vote. .. ...or register it online. ....... ...

...Mygawd....so this is how the dreaded conjunctivitis is transmitted . . .. ..I've always wondered - - fecal bacteria delivered into the eye socket...... ..

I should have queried my ophthamologist about this yesterday.

      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.
