    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I haven't had a bad experience, but I can add that I've had a good experience on Princess lines. I've sailed twice since knowing about my gluten intolerance, and they've been very good each time. Before the cruise I fax them a letter with my request for gluten free diet, and when I get on board, see the maitr'd the first day. Like another poster said,...

    I stayed at Port Orlean's in Disneyworld. They don't have a table service restaurant, but the food court had a head chef who was VERY helpful for me. They can make gluten free pancakes with real maple syrup. They were very knowledgeable about food allergies and about celiac. In Disneyland, we stayed off property...fortunately I had good luck with that...

    Sorry Philibuster, I haven't any experience with that. I think in general a colon cleanse once in a while is probably a good thing, especially for those of us with bowel problems, but I have no data on that.

    Yeah, I decided a while ago to not post too many details about what goes on with me. Which is one reason why I haven't posted the name of the procedure they did for fixing the floppy intestines, lol. It's an unusal word and if someone (like me) does a search on it this thread will come up. On a different note. I was really sick again yesterday. My...

    Both of mine are just even with the joint. I don't have a formal diagnosis of Celiac because by the time I had the blood testing and biopsy I had been gluten free for 6 months, but I do have a diagnosis of gluten intolerance.

    I would have never known I had them if he hadn't put that medical term for fixing it on my sheet of paper listing everything he did. No one has ever told me I had them. I DO wonder if that isn't the cause of some of my gut symptoms though.

    OMGosh...RACHEL, you MUST go to Open Original Shared Link and look for "Death by Gossip"!!!!!! It's the cutest picture of a little puppy with a cell phone in his ear, and you MUST read the little story.

    Ha, ditto for me! I have never dated much...just ended up in relationships. Ditto again! Only, I can talk to total strangers about nothing in particular easier than I can talk to someone I'm trying to get to know. Oh YAY, this is AMAZING!!!! I'm so happy for you!!! April, Any stress can cause the adrenals problems. Good...

    Yeah, I'm making my own jello with the recipe that Sherry posted. Although I HAVE eaten some of the store bought kind without problems, I don't want to eat too much of it...it's that bucket thing you were just talking about. I know it will eventually give me problems. I don't think he did that. It's not listed on the list of stuff he did....

    Yeah, I've lost about 13 pounds. I can FINALLY fit into most of my clothes again, lol. I expect I'll gain a little bit back once I can get my calories over 1000...I've figured out that I'm only getting between 600 and 900 calories a day...definitely not healthy, but at least I feel full, lol. Even better news is that I can work out again. The doc gave...

    Happy Thanksgiving to all!!! Nice to see Jin again, although so sorry for the rough times! Also very nice to see Rinne!!! I've been doing well for a couple of weeks now. THe bouts of pancreatitis seem to be over although I'm still having to be careful what I eat and the doctor said not to add any fat until at least Christmas. I still can...

    Welcome Mltjq! Everyone, I survived the CT scan, lol. Barely! I couldn't drink all the stuff today, but they did the test anyway. I had most of it down, but probably had 4-5 more swallows, and just couldn't do it. I'll know about the results tomorrow. Sherry, I made the jello last night and it's WONDERFUL! I made it with apple juice. It's not...
  14. dlp252
    WOW, THANKS!!!!! This is great! I may even have some gelatin in my cabinet! If not, I'll get some tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, I have a CT scan. That means I have to drink the banana chalky stuff tonight before bed. I'm a little concerned about that, lol. Then more tomorrow, plus the dye they inject. My doctor pulled out the pancreatic...

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of my favorite beautifully made up virtual drinking buddies, lol!!

    Happy Birthday (or Belated) to Sherry!!! Still good so far this weekend. Today is a little more iffy than yesterday, but so far am able to keep my liquids down. I went to the store to get some jello because it's considered a clear liquid but is more substantial than juice or water, but sheesh it has a ton of additives! I probably should have waited...

    Well, I was sick again yesterday. All day. It was worse than Tuesday and lasted a lot longer. I couldn't eat or drink anything after breakfast. Every time I tried to drink water it would hit my stomach like a brick and then I'd get that feeling like something rancid in there needed to come out. It wasn't nausea, but definitely wanted to come out and...

    Thanks everyone!!! Very exciting to hear that Rachel's friend is here!! Figured something was going on, lol! I saw the doctor again yesterday just to make sure Tuesday wasn't anything serious. He's running some labs to check blood/etc levels and make sure there is no infection. I'm almost positive it was a reaction to the Advil I took that...

    Hi everyone! I'm not even going to TRY to catch up, lol. My surgery went well and all is benign! They removed the section of my upper intestine which had the tumor and then rerouted my bile and pancreatic ducts. They also removed my appendix, but thankfully did not have to do the Whipple so still have my gallbladder. I've been doing VERY well.....

    OMGosh Paula!!!!! SHOPPING AND PUPPY!!!!!! If you added FOOD, you'd have my PERFECT LIFE, lol!!!!!
  21. dlp252
    Don't freak out...the blood can come from a lot of different places. My colon was absolutely perfect, so the blood had to come from somewhere else. I agree that a colonoscopy and endoscopy might be a really good idea though. I think Carla had it too. Okay...put down the cheese and back away!!! You know, even if the test was...

    I had Klebsiella and H.Pylori, so they treated the H.Pylori and not the Klebsiella...the treatment for HPylori was a prevpac which included two antibiotics and a proton pump inhibitor, so they said the antibiotics would take care of teh Klebsiella too. I asked about doing teh test on your own because with the blood, I really think you should have someone...
  23. dlp252
    Wow Paula! You did this test on your own right?
  24. dlp252
    !!! Yeah, I'm remembering NOW, but will I then!
  25. dlp252
