Had My Surgery And It Is Not A Mesenteric Cyst

Hi All

It ended up being a tumor in the appendix and the appendix was attached to the colon. He had a difficult time getting it off. He said he has never seen anything like it. We're waiting for the pathology report on Friday. Pray it is not malignant. If so they will have to go back in and take the right colon. I really need all your guys prayers. I am home and will let you know.

Thanks

Part of my health meditation/prayer is something a girlfriend said to me. Imagine and feel a bright light coming down and surrounding you, your bed at night, and including all your family members and/or your house as the light gets brighter. I imagine the light to be God's love, but you can imagine it to be a spirit, the love of mother nature or just pure joy turned into light, whatever. It helps me beat back anxiety, hope it helps you too.

Sending my warm, healthy thoughts and healing prayers out into the ethernet for you. Let us know.

Dear Blessings, prayers from me also. But try not to worry, I know several people with celiac that have had the odd non-malignant tumor... Hope you feel better soon!

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By nataliallano · Posted

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-IgA to normalize, which is why many doctors recommend waiting at least 6–12 months of strict gluten-free eating before retesting. For someone who’s been gluten-free for less than two years or hasn’t been meticulous about avoiding cross-contact, there’s absolutely a chance they’d still test positive, since even small amounts of gluten can keep antibodies elevated. This is partly why the gluten challenge (where you eat gluten before testing) exists—it’s designed to provoke a measurable immune response in people who’ve been gluten-free long enough for antibodies to drop. But you raise a great point: the challenge isn’t perfect, and false negatives can happen if the timing or amount of gluten isn’t sufficient to trigger a strong antibody response. This is why diagnosis often combines antibody tests with other tools like genetic testing or endoscopy. Your question highlights just how nuanced celiac testing can be! For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Chest pain from celiac

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.

      Chest pain from celiac

      By Betsy Crum · Posted

      I don't have health insurance so I have never had any testing done. I always thought if I stay away from gluten Ill be fine but I suppose that isn't enough anymore. I will look into getting an allergy test. Thank you for your input!
