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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely.

      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.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
