Hi All

Alot of us knew she had a dr apt on Nov 6th and don't think she's posted since then.

Does anyone know how she is or have contact info on her?

I just heard from Evie's daughter Shirley,

I haven't writen her back yet as wanted to post this ASAP.

I'm hoping she won't mind me posting her email to me.

I'm going to write her and ask her if she has time to print out the messages we write to Evie on this thread and take them to her in the hospital. I think they will cheer her up. Jim did that for me when I want in the hospital and it sure was wonderful.

Here is the email--

Hi-

Evie (My Mom) is in the hospital in Missouri with a serious intestinal infection, C-Difficile and there has been a problem with her kidney (she has only one). The infection has caused problems with the kidney, plus several other areas. She hopes to get to come home by mid week next week. The C-Dif is a very strong and BAD bacteria that takes over when too many antibiotics have been prescribed. She is doing better and the kidney is doing better - just a slow long process. I know she misses her friends on the forum and am sure when she gets home, you will be hearing from her again. I will let her know you are praying for her and thinking of her. Shirley

At least we know that she is in the hospital and her daughter is there.

Hi Friends.

This is the correspondence that Shirely and I had tonight.

I'm going to send the 'print topic' in a email for her to take to her mom as it wasn't on the main view topics tonight..

I'll try to keep an eye on it tomorrow and try to 'bump' it up for people to see who may not have been on line over the weekend.

love judy

Dear Shirley,

Thank you so very very much for posting when I know your so tired.

It means alot to all of us who care so much about your Mom.

She is a very strong lady but this is alot to try and fight off. I pray she can get home on Tuesday. She'll heal faster there and of course eat safely there. It's such a shame that the hospitals just don't 'get it' in helping hospitalized patients eat gluten-free food with no cross contamination. Have you been taking some food to her?

I just wish we knew this earlier, we could have sent some 'gluten-free' care baskets to her.

Home made soup from your Mom's freezer (if she has some made up) in a thermos would be good and mabe some hard boiled eggs. Shoot, just wish we closer to help you out. Well, Let's pray that she'll be out on Tuesday so she can eat safely.

Maybe others will have some ideas.

Tell you what, I'll do a post of the thread and send it in a email on the forum so it will be easy for you to just print and take to her. This way it will be so easy for you.

I'll go and post this now as there have been alot of well wishes posted.

Will you be staying on when your Mom gets out of the hospital?

Not sure where you live.

Take care and thanks for the post.

prayers coming for you and Evie.

judy

Hi Judy-

This is Shirley-Visited Mom today and she has elevated blood pressure and is taking another Rx for that. She is swimming in pills! She appreciated your inquiry and is anxious to get home, maybe by Tuesday we hope. She is still very weak and not getting much she can eat at the hospital. Her cold seemed better and she is on oxygen but don't know if she will have that at home or not. Since her breathing is labored, maybe she will. Doc says she will be wearing the catheter home-Joy! Got to beat this bladder infection plus the nasty C-diff. Doc mentioned a pacemaker, but if the new heart Rx works, no pacemaker. Lots of health issues for her, but she is trying to be strong. Your thoughts and prayers help her and I will tell her you sent another reply. Go ahead and post and let others know how she is doing. She appreciates this forum a lot.

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. 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:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.
