Welcome back, Patti! I just realized that you're posting again. I hope your recovery is going well and that you're getting back on your feet. Although I hope you're taking it easy and letting your hubby wait on you.

Thank you Liz :)

It's good to be back and doing something "normal" again :lol: There's so much I'm not supposed to be doing right now--and I'm beginning to get a little bored.

Everything is going well--saw the doctor on Tuesday and she said that everything was looking fine. Now, it's just a matter of taking the time out to heal. Each day it gets a bit better.

How are you? Are you fully recovered from your surgery?

Oh Yeah! You are so casual about having some major heinous surgery, and you slip back into the role of gentle moderator so easily that I totally forgot how empty it felt without you!

Welcome back!

Glad to hear you're getting bored - that's a good sign. I hope you can find enough "stuff" to do to keep you occupied.

I'm doing well, thanks. I'm still a little tender, but am back to all normal activities. We got 6 inches of snow Wednesday night so we're off school. My van doesn't handle well in the snow, so yesterday the kids and I walked 2-1/2 miles to my in-laws' to get our sleds (stored there since we don't get much snow) and then walked a bit more to get to my SIL's house to go sledding with the cousins. I don't know how many times I walked back up the 1/8 mile hill dragging that sled behind me, but I realized last night that I'm completely back to normal. (My kids pointed out that I was the only mom actually sledding. I couldn't help myself - I have an old Yankee Clipper sled that still goes really fast and it brought back such good memories.)

....but necessary for you to heal asap :)

Take care Patti! :)

:lol: I know, can you believe it? I would be on here, posting away in whining, dramatic rants about my surgery and pain :ph34r: And she just goes about everything, stoically and quietly, lovely sort of regal moderator that she is!!

Very glad to have you back, Patti. :)

I was just wondering how you were doing ? I started to hijack a thread and decided not too :P

How long has it been since your surgery ? Are you up yet ? Back to vacuuming ? :blink:

It took me forever to get over my gall bladder surgery. They took it out thinking it might help my stomach pains. DUH !! I was still eating gluten so the surgery basically just made me even more miserable ...

Aren't you glad you are gluten free ??? Marcia

Hi Patti, it's much too soon for you to be vacuuming :o You should still be regulated to the computer and the couch :lol:

How's hubby doing with his new house keeping duties anyway?

Hi Marcia and Shirley :D

I'm recovering a little bit each day. I can sit comfortably in a chair now, so I'm on the forum more.

No, I haven't vaccumed! The doctor said 4 weeks--my son has been taking care of that. Between him and my husband, I'm in very good hands ;)

I am glad I'm gluten-free! At least that's one thing I don't have to worry about :lol:

Too bad that the "trigger" can't work in reverse......

I know! I said that to my husband--he just shook his head and said "I don't think so".

You can tell I haven't been on here much if I totally missed this thread for 1 week.

Glad you're able to be on more and feeling pretty good. :)

Good for you for letting hubby and son take care of things. You'll be back in the saddle in no time.

HUGS.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      @GlorietaKaro, your respiratory reactions to gluten make me wonder if there might also be an allergic (anaphylaxis) component at work here.

      Thanks to both of you for your responses! Sadly, even after several years of very strict gluten avoidance, I remember the symptoms well enough that I am too frightened to risk a gluten challenge— heartbeat and breathing problems are scary— Scott, thank you for the specific information— I will call around in the new year to see if I can find anyone.

In the meantime, I will carry on has I have been— it’s working! Thanks also for the validation— sometimes I just feel crushed by disbelief. Not enough to make me eat gluten though—

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro! As Scott indicated, without formal testing for celiac disease, which would require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten daily for weeks, it would be not be possible to distinguish whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Their symptoms overlap. The difference being that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. We actually no more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS, the mechanism of the latter being more difficult to classify. There are specific antibody tests for celiac disease diagnosis and there is also the endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining. Currently, there are no tests to diagnose NCGS. Celiac disease must first ruled out. Researchers are working on developing testing methods to diagnose celiac disease that do not require a "gluten challenge" which is just out of the question for so many because it poses serious, even life-threatening, health risks. But we aren't there yet.
