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.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
