Armetta, Lisa, and Laura, I want to thank all of you for thinking of this for Lynne and Dave. I don't know how many letters you rounded up. I do hope they take it to heart what we have all said. Not only does Lynne need this but she deserves this.

Armetta, I thank you for your gift of compassion, generosity and the knowledge of "it's just the right thing to do". Good things happen, to good people making it happen.

Thoughts to you, Lisa

I should have posted this earlier:

All the little pieces are coming together and they should be ready to submit VERY soon. It is a technical process and full of lots of detail. Hopefully, within a week or so, the whole package will be sent off and submitted.

All of those who care or have written a letter, it is a gift that you bring. Thank you :)

Armetta, is force behind this project. Hopes and prayers could make it happen. But, lets get there first.

Lisa

I will post with any news or updates.

Lynne and Dave have been sick with the flu and Lynne had a bad case of pneunonia and is recovering and feeling better. They are looking for a good sunny day to arrange the video.

Lynne, you can chime in here......... :D

Laura has done a great deal of work getting the letters in perfect submission. Thanks you so much Laura for you hard work and a lot of you private time.

Armetta has the package ready to go when the video is complete.

We are wishful, for Lynne. It would be soooo cool.

Armetta or I will let you know when the package has been submitted and you guy will be the first (well, second) to know!

Lisa

      I finally got rhe answer and Tylenol is ok. Thanks everyone

      Hey Julie! I was in a similar situation before my biopsy and my gastro said Tylenol was fine. Just avoid ibuprofen or anything anti-inflammatory until you're cleared. Hope your surgery goes smoothly!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.
