Just got back from the hospital. Mom's still in a lot of pain. You will find this interesting: Mom is on liquids only but has really bad heartburn and they can't get clearance for her to have any antacids, so I pulled out my Altoids, asked the nurse if Mom was allowed to have them, she said "sure", so I gave them to Mom and they took her heartburn away!

Tellin' ya, I could write a book - 101 Uses for Altoids!

Hugs.

You're so funny! What's going on with mom? I apologize if you already explained this. I hope she gets better!

I had to take her up to the hospital a few nights ago. She is having another flare-up of her diverticulitis..... She has a CT-Scan tomorrow, hopefully, they won't have to do surgery.......

Hugs.

It doesn't look like this flare-up is as bad as the one last year, where she had many days of bloody diarrhea and was VERY sick. This time around, she is in alot of pain, but she is constipated with it this time...... The x-ray showed there was no perforation, so I think they won't have to do any surgery, just keep her on the IV and the antibiotics for a few more days......

Hugs.

Karen,

I wish your mom a speedy recovery.

How about those Altoids able to cure heartburn and save marriages!!?

Does anyone remember that song by Gowan, Strange Animal? It could be the full moon theme song with all the howling in it.

Karen, I hope your mother recovers soon.

This seems to be a relatively tame full moon gathering, is it too early yet? I've heard rumors of past shenanigans. :lol:

Yeah, unfortunately, when there is a Post Patrol Police Officer around, we keep our straightjackets on so as to not get hauled up on the carpet..... <_<

I am getting into trouble at my house between this thread and the 40 ish thread. I am laughing so loud that hubby thinks I should tone it down so he can hear the TV. I love Karen's photo :lol:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.
