Thank you all so very much! I deeply appreciate all of your thoughts, prayers and good wishes on behalf of my family.

Lynne, I agree that there is power in numbers--and this is one determined group we have here ;)

Nini, Yes, they are definately planning to incorporate alternative/natural therapies along with whatever the doctors recommend. My sister has been consulting with her Kinesiologist.

Liz, You're so right about PE teachers--you are all very special :D

Marcia, Bev and Jestgar, thanks for your comforting words. I'm glad to hear that the people in your lives were able to successfully overcome this.

Ursula, I will never forget your generosity the other day.

Again, thanks to each and every one of you :)

I have just seen this thread. Of course I will keep positive thoughts and have already stopped and said a prayer. Elementary P. E. teachers are special people, and so are brothers-in-law! Prayers for him, your sister, and all the family. God bless!

Thank you, Jaten--I appreciate it :)

Laura, My sister is not taking this well at all. He is actually holding it together better.

What we're hoping for now is that the scans come out clear in terms of the cancer already spreading. If all clear, they will do surgery that will, hopefully, take care of it. Don't know yet about any additional treatment.

Just checked in and wanted you to know I was thinking of you, your BIL and family.

When you said that your sister wasn't taking it well and that your BIL was handling it better, I think that happens a lot because the family and friends think that there is nothing they can do to solve the problem. They can't cure the one they love. You have no control over the situation and that is really hard. :(

Hugs hugs hugs B

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
