Just doing what I said I would....starting a new topic for the next set of scary tests. We leave by bus 6 pm tomorrow, but are going into Yorkton around noon. i'm going to tryyyy steal an internet connection in Calgary, but no promises. 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?

num1habsfan Rising Star

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..

Sorry about your friend and her HUGE ego. She obviously doens't understand how important/nerve racking these things can be. We all understand though. Please keep up posted, and travel safely.

Hey Lisa,

I guess you're "under" by now. I hope everything goes/went well.

num1habsfan Rising Star

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.

Judyin Philly Enthusiast

how sweet of you to meet them Rusla

thanks for the update.

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
