It's about 1:15 am so i'm going to bed.

I didn't hear from Evie's daughter Shirley today.

Will post if and when i hear anything.

We'll just keep the prayers going, ok.

Thanks to all of you for your continued posts.

I posted the emails in a thread and sent in a personal email through the forum this am so it would be easier for her.

I put a post on the OMG thread when I got home mon pm. Am now eating my own types (gluten free + rotation diet) foods which I could not do in hospital, so am feeling stronger a bit. I got so low down on energy it will take awhile to gain back weight and energy. I so appeciate all of you asking about me, really pleased to have made so many good friends on the forum since April...who have all been so helpful!!

Our 2nd daughter has been here all week to help me and hubby..we so appreciate that, her hubby will be down Sat. and she will go home. So glad she could get away from her work for so long but has been in daily touch/ her main boss and doing some work from my computer too. Our oldest and youngest dd were her most of time I was in hospital, went home when this DD came. we are so blessed and have so much to be thankful for. Nurse has been helpful and wil be back next wed., and therapist coming on Mon. Not sure I will need that but Dr. thinks so, will help me get stronger am sure.

Thank you so much Judy for hunting me down and conversing with Shirley!! she is having late Than ksgiving with her wisconsin son and family and her dd + her hubby who live near her saturday. We had a very good day here and more Sat. dd and hubby here. Hope all of you had a good day, on Thanksgiving and had lots to be thankful like we have. I am thankful to be back home and so many things, so glad hubby and i wil be able to continue here Ok, I pray for that. Take care all and love too. :) evie

Evie, I'm so glad to hear you had a nice holiday with your family. It sounds like you're slowly regaining your strength. I'm sure you can rest much better in your own bed!

Your daughters sound lovely--everyone is taking such good care of you. Take care, and thanks for letting us know how you're doing. We all worry :)

      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...

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 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.
