ARCHIVED Living Gluten Free With Non Celiac Roommates
theprincess replied to nikki182's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I am not celiac (but my mom is) but I still kept my stuff seperate from my roommates. I kept a little corner of my closet that had my pots and pans and my toaster oven in it - so my roommates wouldn't abuse the stuff. Its a little annoying to have to go run and get them if you want to cook, but I highly recommend doing it!! GL -
There are a ton of mildly irritating but totally fixable things that could be wrong. Also, it could be totally non-medically related that you just are doing some harmful things while you are teaching class, even without noticing it. It's easy to hurt your voice speaking - in fact - even easier than while singing! I think the rigid scope is worse because...

1st. The biopsies showed no signs of malignancy. Thats just awesome. Also, I tested negative for celiac. Half of me is happy because that means I can keep my current lifestyle, and half of me is sad because now I most likely have to go in for the dreaded colonoscopy. I think I now have more questions than answers.

ARCHIVED My Dog Is A Major Faker
theprincess replied to theprincess's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
HOW SWEET! Since we don't have any human babies yet, Bella is our puppy baby. I'm sure you feel the same way. Our dog doesn't understand modesty yet. Yesterday she went to the bathroom while like four people from the apartment complex talked to her. ::DOH:: -
ARCHIVED My Dog Is A Major Faker
theprincess replied to theprincess's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Your dog is so sweet! I hope he/she is OK from their surgery. They really do become our babies, don't they? -
Yep. I have had both scopes and an endoscopy and I SWEAR that the flexible nasal scope is no big deal. In fact, in school we volunteer on each other! If it was that bad I would be honest. (You won't gag from a scope down your nose most likely, either) KEEP THIS IN MIND: It is highly unlikely that you have nodules if they weren't seen on the endoscopy...

Thanks Judy for the TB info. I don't know what my mom shared with you guys but I have latent (thank goodness) tuberculosis. It is most likely that I caught it from volunteering for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Remember that whole karma thing...where is that!? BTW: When my mom used to tell me about her friends on the celiac board I thought "man, she used... -
I'm studying to be a speech-language pathologist so I know some clinical stuff but MORE importantly, I'm a vocalist, too! 1. The test at the ENT is NOTHING. If they use a flexible scope, they will stick it down your nose (some people Afrin or numb you first) and it will hang to your vocal folds. It is uncomfortable but not painful at all <-- I am a...

This really relates to nothing at all but I am still crackin up. When Mark and I came home from church tonight Bella got out of her cage just fine. Then she got scolded for getting away from Mark outside (he has this new thing where he takes her off of her leash despite my protests) and all of the sudden, she was holding her leg up. She had a really...

Thanks for the welcome everyone! I hope that the only reason I'm connected to this board is because I love someone who has Celiac, but it wouldn't be so bad. At least I'd have an excuse to be soooo lethargic. in reply to the "Do you have time to run out to PF Changs and eat all their gluten filled appetisers? I so miss those. I don't miss the twinkie... -

Thanks, Metta. All that info was great! Actually the doc took 9 biops. total. I am lucky that the chief of the GI department at UK did the testing b/c apparently he is a celiac expert. I didn't get the results today which means I get one more day of eating gluten, I bought a Twix after choir just to celebrate. Actually I have THREE sets of twin boys... -

I am not being patient. I called and left a message but, of course, have not heard back yet. The 6-7 day range is up in one hour and I have to leave b/c I direct a children's choir on Wednesday nights. -

theprincess replied to theprincess's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
LOL - thats true. It seems to me most of the talk of gluten free foods is about desserts. I know my mom is always eating her brownies and such. For her mother's day present my husband and I got her a big basket of foods that are gluten free and it wasn't so hard (just expensive!) because I love to shop at Whole Foods. I do live in Lexington. I'm supposed... -
ARCHIVED Wedding Gift Ideas For Brother And Fiancee
theprincess replied to NicoleAJ's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Some of the best gifts we got for our wedding weren't on our registry. I'm a scrapbooker so I always like that idea, but the idea of something that is special to them would be cool too. If you decide to go with the post above that said to get them a personalized blanket, why not put it in a picnic basket with a nice bottle of wine? Then you're hitting... -

Actually I had the endoscopy/biopsies last Wednesday I just want to know when to call for results. I'm glad for things that moms do like that...my mom has always been willing to share but mostly I think she has lost her sense of what tastes good. I am going into this non-gluten thing kicking and screaming. -

The screen on my mom's computer is broken so she is disconnected from her celiac world. lol. She's doing good- recently got good news about her fatty liver (that is such a funny term) Thanks for the love. No news on my bloodwork (I honestly don't remember what I had done...the Versed hit me kind of hard) -

Mouse, my mom said that you found out something about tuberculosis and celiac?? Could you please forward that info to me, please? Could you please spell out the three things that I should be asking my GI doc? How long should I wait before my biopsies should be done? I was supposed to hear back by today but its already two and I'm nervous. Karen, if...
