Wondering What Happened To A Member

I can't remember this member's name and I've been thinking about how she is doing. Her husband had a stroke a few months back, and she wasn't feeling very well. I haven't seen any posts from her and I'm wondering how she is. Does anyone remember her name?

Thanks.

I think you mean Mtndog (Beverly). She's still a member, and I'm happy to say that her husband is doing very well. :)

Patti is correct. If you remember her as a different screen name, it's because she had hers changed.

I think her name change was unintentional. Some kind of computer glitch or something wiped her out as Berneses, if I am not mistaken? Maybe it's someone else I am thinking of - getting old, don't ya know, and the mind goes to mush after awhile!!!

Hugs!

OMG.... so strange. I just randomly happened to click on this one as I was scrolling through the new posts and it was about me! Weird...... I must have ESPN. :P

Yes- Mtndog is the saame Beverly as BERNESES was. It's all me! Scott accidentally deleted my account as BERNESES and I was tired of looking at all caps so I changed my user name.

I am happy to report that I am feeling better (we moved out of what we think was aa mold infested apartment and it HAS helped). My DH is doing fine. He had all his follow-ups with a stroke specialist at Brigham and Women's and is OK .They still don't know why he had the stroke but doubt he will have another one anytime soon as everything looked great (uhmm... except for the half of his cerebellum that was damaged...yeah). He has no real side effects left.

Thanks so much bklyn for asking about me, patti and carla for clarifying and Matilda for saying i was cheery! Hugs, Beverly (aka the old Berneses)

I'm glad you're doing better too, but I had to laugh when you said your husband was doing fine except that half his cerebellum was damaged ... it just sounded funny that a man can go on like normal with half a brain :lol: (all said in good fun, of course, and understanding that it could have been very serious!).

Sounds pretty normal to me - well, most of the men that I have known anyway, are operating on 1/2 a brain MAX! :lol:

      Potential celiac need advice

      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.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
