The GI I saw last year mentioned he thought it might be IBS, so that's what I'm being treated for right now. If that doesn't work, I get to go back in for lots of tests again. Could it be... um... what's that reaction to gluten.....? Celiac disease? I would definitely try going of gluten...or insisting that your gastro tests for it. you can do a blood test (it only is accurate 75% of the time). There are also more involved ways that you can be tested. My gastro never looked into it...nothing he prescribed ever worked. Other issues that often go hand in hand with celiac include a skin issue (viscules?...like little tiny water blisters that develop, open and burn something fierce) and poor dental...I think that it has to do with the enamel. Because it is an immune system issue you may find that you get sick more easily than other people...your body is always fighting the gluten making you more susceptable to viruses and infections. |

Oh that would be a great outcome Jen! Crossing my fingers for you! I know you had a colonoscopy so at least we know its not what I have! Yep. They also tested me for Crohn's and Celiac Disease, so I know it's not either of those. IBS fits - the pain gets worse when I am really stressed out or eat really bad. So far, I don't feel much different from taking the meds before I eat. I imagine it may take a few days. And I'm supposed to change my diet and stop eating junk and more veggies and fiber. Yeah. hmm...I should have kept reading as well. oh well, y'all learned something. |

Ive been there... after the round with doctors and stuff a few years ago its funny what you start to think is NORMAL to talk about!!!! X 2. As a pediatric nurse and as a parent, it's funny what has become normal conversation topics. I really have to censor myself when I'm not around people I work with or my immediate family. As a matter of fact, I was discussing poop with a couple colleagues over ice cream sundays at work tonight. Totally normal conversation while eating, right? Lots of times, I get told not to talk about work at the dinner table. Animal dissection doesn't go over well with lots of people. That's a great conversational opener. My mom brings is up a lot. Also the time I brought a sheep brain home over Christmas break so that I could study for anatomy. Can you tell I've been a science nerd for a long time?  |

I'm excited today... my grandfather's heirloom tomatos germinated today (well two of the six I planted) It's kind of bitter sweet... my grandfather passed away two and half years ago... when leaving his house for the last time, his girlfriend gave me a handkerchief of his with some seeds wrapped in it. My grandfather was ALWAYS known as the Tomato Man, raising the best plants and tomatos in all of town. He hadn't bought a seed since the early '80's. |

The latest seeds were shaken out of cones that I plucked from a Contorted Larch. I park next to it at school every day. I am going to get little bitty glass jars for all the different kinds of seeds I collect. The jars are hex shaped, 1.5 inches wide and 2 inches high. I think that they are really fun. |
