A Sad Day...

Things seem to have the worst timing for me, when I'm due for the good news I instead get the bad.

Mom called be tonight (or i guess last night) to say my auntie's dad passed away from a sudden heart attack late last night/early morning :( . I guess his wife called 911, and they didn't respond, and both ambulances were busy with something (is what my mom explained) so by the time someone got there it was too late :(

I didn't think it would be bothering me this much, but it is. My little cousin's 2nd birthday is on Friday, and the funeral looks to be planned for Thursday (and unfortunately I cant afford to miss classes to go to it, either). And...he spoiled those kids big time. So what kind of birthday party will it be, with one of the main guests not there.....

We're mostly worried about my Auntie, the whole family is. Obviously the death of a father out of nowhere is tragic enough on someone, but she's also 8 months pregnant, due April 10th. So we're terrified of her great upsetness and the stress somehow hurting the little boy on the way... :ph34r:

I should already been in bed, I need to wake up in 6 hours, but i just can't sleep. Not even texting my closest friends even late at night has helped. i REALLY didn't need something like this!!

Please send your thoughts and prayers to my family, especially my Auntie...

Thank you everyone for your support. I love you all... *hugs you all back*

I have the worst headache in the world, and slept about 2 hours (if i'm lucky). And if I cant calm down I know my flareup is going to get worse instead of getting better, so I'm tryin to think of things to help me relax.

I will keep you updated on how things go...

Oooo my Auntie had some contractions earlier today, only 3 minutes apart, but my uncle rushed her to the hospital in Yorkton and they stopped. So they said she's sleeping...and that's the latest update we have.

Maybe it really was stress induced contractions ...

Lisa, I'm so sorry. Hugs and prayers for your family. Even if your auntie delivers early, the odds are very much in her favor for having a strong and healthy baby. It is very hard to lose your dad ~ let her know others are praying for her.

Thank you...

So she got released from the hospital, because they said the baby just shifted, BUT she came to my baba's place tonight to at least say happy birthday to her and she said she's still having contractions! :o

So basically I'm told keep the phone handy, because she said she doesn't expect to stay at home very long! If she does have her baby by tomorrow that could sure make things interesting. 3 birthdays within 4 day span...'his' brother's birthday is on Friday, as i've said before. Imagine the boys when they grow up, parties galore I tell you when your birthdays may be almost identical :lol:

As soon as I do get my new 1st cousin I will post in here!!

I guess it's a way to show us this child will be a blessing...lose one truly amusing man, and have the opportunity to raise another...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
