I got the results of my colonoscopy back today. It turns out there is something wrong with me after all

Andy, I'm so sorry. ;_; I know this may not be of much comfort right now, but at least they caught this while you're still young. From what I've read about it, it seems that the gluten free diet essentially eliminates all the complications of the disease and allows the small intestines to heal in the vast majority of cases. I know it seems impossible right now to give up all those foods, but once you get used to it, it should become 2nd nature

Thank you Jason. You really cheered me up. And I know you're right, it's just going to take a little time.

You're absolutly right, Wally. It's just some food, afterall. Other than that, I've got my health and I should be happy. I just didn't realize that at the time!

[lauscho]

So sorry to hear it ;_;

There isn't anything I can really say that Jason and Wally didn't already say, but I hope you make it through this.

Thanks, man. Once again, messing around with my guitar helped put things in a better light. I swear that shit's therapy! :P

Andy, you can always talk to me about it if you need to, since I'm in a similar situation.

I know the vicious cycle of craving what is hurting you thing; before I was diagnosed, I was always thirsty, and drinking soda/milk/whatever just raised my blood sugar more which kept me thirstier.

Anyway, it sucks to hear, but hey, once again, your life is following mine on a strange parallel, so you know you'll always have someone to talk to who's been there... you'd better hope I get married and don't die at age 30 or something...

:P

*hugs*

nah, barry will bring world music up to the mainstream ears, which will be then followed by worldcore and emoworld knockoff bands ;p

[aekei]

Are you calling me a knockoff Barry band? XD

[aekei]

Hehe... another parallel in our lives, huh? You know, looking at you, I don't mind a bit.

I really didn't know just how bad the craving things was until it's gone away now that I'm not eating gluten. Crazy!

And you need to start buying lottery tickets. That'll benefit the both of us. :P

There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said... but hang in there. :) You'll be just fine, you have a lot of people that believe in you!

[aekei]

Thank you, you're totally right. I realize that more now than I think I ever have before.
