My middle son's friend has encephalitis, and has been hospitalized for over three weeks. He is in a medically induced coma.

If any of you would hold him in your heart and send up a prayer on his behalf (and his family's), I would be very grateful. If you could put him on your church's prayer board, his name is Noah.

And he's only 8 years old.

Thank you so much,

Alison

Consider it done immediately, will pray for Noah and his family - I can't imagine what life is like for them right now. Bedside vigils and cafeteria food and life on hold....I would imagine

Apparently, it started with a stomach virus.

Thank you so much, everybody. From what I have heard, it still looks grim. :(

Please keep the prayers coming....

Oh how awful.....poor thing. I'll be saying prayers for him too.

I'll be giving my kids some extra cuddles today.....sometimes life gets so hectic and chaotic, I take for granted that they'll be here another day. Hearing a story like this just makes me want to savor every moment with them.

Keep us updated, I hope the little guy is able to pull through.

Alison,

just sent along some warm wishes for them. How is your son handling this? My thoughts are with your family as well.

Thanks, Amanda. He is very sad and very serious. I emailed his teacher at school to see if the class could pray for Noah, even though most of them don't know him.

We so wish we could do more than pray....

I couldn't help thinking of Noah all weekend. I have a long prayer list this month and Noah is certainly on it. Please keep us up to date on his condition.

The school is going above and beyond--the whole school is praying for Noah every morning until he comes home!

Wow! I take it that this is not a public school that your son goes to.

I've said another prayer for Noah, his family, the doctors and nurses taking care of him. Also said a prayer for all of his friends too.

Thank you so much, everybody.

His doctors are changing his meds this week, and say that they really don't know what to expect, but that they fear that he is in for a bumpy ride this week.

Please keep the prayers coming....

Prayers for Noah and his family.

This might cheer you up. My sister had it when she was 3 and we were told she would die or remain comatose. She is currently 38 and anything but in a coma! Miracles CAN happen!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      Medication

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
