ARCHIVED My Friend Is Coeliac, What If She Decides To Eat A Piece Of Cake?
kareng replied to kellynolan82's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Real butter is stick butter not margarine. Spreadable butter usually has some stuff added and isn't good for baked goods. -
So...you need a plan of action. I say call for a doctors appointment. Tell them blood gushing, unable to eat for days, .... Or you could head to Emergency. If you become dehydrated, definitely go to the hospital. Do you have a friend, spouse, parent that could come over? Preferably someone who hasn't seen you for about a week? Have them look...

Lets be calm. Have some water. Relax. Blood has a way of looking like a lot & spreading out in the water. If it continues another time or 2, you might want to go to the Emergency room. Take a picture with your phone to show the doctors. I'm treating you like you were one of my boys. Of course, I would have a look at the toliet products if they...

I'm assuming it's probably bright red on top of the poop? That's usually not as disturbing as the black kind in the poop. As long as you aren't sitting on the toliet with blood rushing out, you are OK. Did you strain? You can get a little tear or cut when that happens. You could also have a hemmoroid. Wipe off gently, with some water. Then dry gently...

I like to make sure that is correct. There are a lot of doctors that don't seem to know that fact.

ARCHIVED Some Questions About Gluten Reactions...
kareng replied to lovesaceliac's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think you have answered your question. Don't eat food prepared by others. You may find a place to eat that is safe, one day.... Bring food to other houses just for hub or eat before you go. -
I'm in the US so I don't know how your system works. I would think you could certainly ask to get in on a more emergant basis. Perhaps there is a way to be put on a list incase someone cancels? Or call every day to see about a cancellation. Sometimes over here, going to the emergency room, especially a teaching hospital, will get you seen sooner.

That is incorrect. A colonoscopy does not diagnose Celiac. You need an endoscopy with multiple biopsies to have any chance of finding Celiac damage. A doc might do a colonoscopy at the same time to check for other problems.

ARCHIVED Heat Wave Is Wearing Me Out
kareng replied to Coolclimates's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Costco is a good place to kill some time. Hub & I have a "date" to go this morning. Sad... I need to get 2 things & hub will look at everything and we will be there an hour. Hope your daughter's back is getting better. Sounds like she has lucked out on the weather. -

The one I went to theother day,- I was looking at the hummus. He said it was his favorite. I said it's on shared equipment. He said of course you can't have that one then. -

ARCHIVED Any Way To Help Celiacs That Have Been Impacted

Forgot to update: got a message that the shelter didn't win that week. Very disappointing until I got to the bottom of the email. They gave them $100,000! -
ARCHIVED Any Way To Help Celiacs That Have Been Impacted
kareng replied to ravenwoodglass's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
just a way to find out what is going on. I have heard from someone that was there recently, some of the groceries are back and have some gluten-free products. But some people didn't have insurance & don't have jobs because of the tornado so they can't afford it. Open Original Shared Link -

We have 4 hungry fox to feed. The 2 young fox are really bold. I guess being born & raised around us humans has them a bit use to us. They will sit with 10 feet & a fence between them and my dog. Coop & the fox have decided to ignore each other. Sometimes they come to the back fence & watch him. They were sitting on my neighbors... -

Some day, I'm going to get some chickens. I never knew they were such fun. Forgot that GFM might be off line. Really she should go to the library & send an update. The carrier pidgeon or chicken never made it here. -
ARCHIVED Is A Formal Diagnosis Necessary?
kareng replied to nikkigal's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Colonoscopy doesn't diagnose Celiac. An endoscopy does. Did you have the blood tests for Celiac? Might want to start there. Of course, you can eat or not eat, whatever you want, right? So, you can certainly try the gluten-free diet for a while and see what happens. -
ARCHIVED Frustrated And Don't Know What To Do

Sure. They will see you to diagnosis the Celiac or something else. They won't want you to be off gluten tho. -

Still no GFM sitings. Did not see anything on the news about IL killings. Maybe they haven't found the bodies? Maybe they don't have Internet access at the Funny Farm? Ok...I refuse to believe it went smoothly.. That would not be as interesting.
