If anyone wants to post and wish me luck before noon, that'd be great, otherwise i'll check your messages whenever I can. please please please send lots of your prayers, and luck, and love. These will be a very difficult next 4 days for me!!

Thanks Sandy...if they ever logged on here and read this, theyd kill me, but whatever. u guys obviously love me so right now it dont matter...

heres the basic story:

i havent talked to my best friend since last week. i sent her a txt on thursday sayin where she could find the post about my scope here on the board. yesterday i txted her askin if she said it, she said not yet, and her excuse was she was stayin at her boyfriends cuz of a storm (that i could live with)...

she finally comes online tonite, never asked about how i'm feelin/how my test went/etc AT ALL...jumped straight into braggin about her man, then got mad at me when i said i dont have any input since i havent been in a relationship before and that i'm distracted by calgary, etc...she also accused me of thinkin her news was just a waste of time, and then vanished offline...

I've been on the verge of a panic attack, nearly had 1 tonite, the last thing I needed was my "best friend" makin me feel like i'm completely meaningless :( *cries*

I am guessing your friend is under the age of 20 - she is in an egocentric self centered mode - in her mind - because you were worried about your upcoming scope and didn't have input about "her man"... then you dont care about her.

First off she is the one who is not caring and only wants her needs met right now - never mind that you need her support and are about to go on a long trip, alone, you're scared and a "good day" is hard to find when you have GI troubles.

If she DOES read this - she needs to step back and understand that YOU needed her at that moment , that YOU were reaching out and found empty space.

Perhaps if she has faced a scope before, she would understand your fears.

I can listen very well to my friends talk about relationships, but I tell ya, when I am taking one of my kids to the hospital the next day or adding a new diagnosis to our long list......my best friends offer hugs and support and ask how they can help. they dont get upset cause I didnt want to hear about their latest husband issue or about a cute thing their child did that day.

Sorry your friend bailed when you needed her - maybe she'll be there when you get back...and wanting to hear about you

Actually shes 27, which makes it even more hurtful. u'd think shes gone thru a lot more in those 5 years of life she has on me, and she'd be more mature.

ur right...i needed someone to turn to for a huge thing. friends are supposed to give each other support, especially when they know its somethin u cant get thru on ur own. usually i can live with her talkin about her boyfriend--girl talk, right?. but its not right when u ignore someones needs(like comfort, reassurance, etc) to talk about the usual/daily stuff.

*wishes i could talk to my guy friend*

cyber hugs {{{{{ }}}}}

sorry she wasnt there the way you needed. 27??! wow, and she vanished the minute she wasnt the center of attention, hmmm. This boyfriend must be something else to make her so shortsighted and selfish as to not realize that there are more serious things to discuss than "boys' in life.

Unbelievable!!

I know how much of a wreck I am before any "investigation".... one of the reasons I am awake right now! waiting for blood results on Kathryn....

Are you able to sleep the night before? or is the the fact that you are online speaking for itself? ;)

Sandy

** have they ever tested you for a systemic disease like Lupus or lyme disease or anything else that can cause GI symptoms but be a reuslt of systemic disease?

Thanks *hugs back*

I dunno how some people can be so obsessed with a significant other that they just forget about everyone else who matters just as much or more...

My parents already got up twice to yell at me to get to bed, think i may try in a few mins, but i was worked up enough already so this totally didnt help. i havent been able to sleep barely at all with the eatin all the gluten. its been basically passing out thats done it for me. I'll try sleep now, and try post again before I leave. *more hugs* thanks for lettin me rant and replyin so many times..

<3

I hope I'm doing this right :X I'm a friend of Lisa's posting for her because she doesn't have internet at the moment. She just wanted to give everyone a quick update on things.

Lisa said she's trying to drink the nasty salty-tasting laxative stuff, but it's making her sick. She said it makes the sore spot on her tummy burn. She threw up a little while ago and had a nose bleed. She's hoping she is keeping enough of the stuff down to be emptied enough for the test. Keep thinking of her, please!

I met up with Lisa and her mother today after Lisa's torture session. She was not in the best of shape and not feeling too punky after a week of gluten and then torture at the hospital. However, now they are on their way back to Saskatchewan if the bus has even left yet. It sounds like they are taking the grand tour back and will be visiting every farm, hamlet and deserted village along the route. They are supposedly arriving in Saskatchewan at 8:30 tomorrow evening.

Hopefully it won't happen like last time. They are hoping to return to Saskatchewan before next Christmas.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Martha Mitchell · Posted

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
