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.

Judy, thanks so much for sharing this with us. We have all been so worried and concerned about Evie. If you do e-mail her daughter back let her know that her mom is in our thoughts.

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.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
