I Have The World's Best Friend :)

I met my best friend and her 2 kids at the Zoo yesterday with my 2 kids. I always buy lunch there, she always packs her own. Anyhow, after finding a fruit plate in the cafeteria (I was getting really excited about the fries, which are cooked in their own vat, but then I saw them dumping them into the same serving dish as the chicken fingers and serving them with the same scoop, sigh), we went out on the lawn to eat and God bless her, she pulls out a bag of rice cakes and cheese and tells me she is trying to cut down on bread! Part of it may be true, but I also know her well enough to know that she didn't want to sit there and eat bread in front of me! In fact, except for a cereal bar she had for her baby, everything she brought yesterday was gluten-free! I don't expect people to eat my diet, but just knowing someone cares enough to do that really touched me, but I shouldn't be surprised because she is just that kind of girl!

I went to my friends house for a BBQ, and my friend made lettuce burgers, made the boys keep the buns on the other side of the room and even had a gluten-free designated dishcloth for me set aside. I felt so loved. Those gestures mean so much.

I'm happy you had that experience.

You guys are lucky, that is so sweet :) I've had friends buy me gluten-free food before, which was really nice.

It's great when friends understand the diet you have to follow. My friends are super, they always ask questions before they serve food regarding how to keep it gluten-free if possible. It makes this disease easier to deal with when you have a lot of support.

My best friend had a gluten free birthday cake made for me. She works with a woman who makes all sorts of baked goods and she asked her to make me a gluten-free birthday cake. She is the most considerate and thoughtful person ever.

My best friend and my sister in law are very careful with my gluten issues and I love that they are.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
