I currently have Bob's and haven't had a reaction but I know other people have. I think Authentic Foods is on a dedicated line but it is very expensive.

For the fun place this is going to be, there is no social director? Maybe I'd be good at that! I can count the population as I go along visiting everyone!

Andrea--Does that list get longer every time you post it, or is it just me? :D Gotta hand it to you--you keep perfect track of all us Rachelvillians. :lol:

Cool. I haven't had a job other than the stuff that goes along with wife and mom for years!! :P

I have the list saved on my computer and update as necessary. Gotta keep including newbies to the thread but I don't have everyone on here yet. Debbie posted a day or two ago but don't know if she's going to be a regular as well as Stephanie.

BTW I created the upper people from Pres on down to Lt Governors based on who has been with Rachel from the start. :P

The dingos are unconscious, we went to the back-country part of our beautiful park here, toward the river, and the squirrels.....OMG just a proliferation of squirrels today......so good news, they are not staring at me and I can get some things done..... :)

Carla, I've read your kind and thoughtful posts on the Communion thread (which unfotunately one person is making quite nasty - she would be flogged in R-ville :angry: - or converted to niceness by our sweet and perfect CULT TOWN)....I think you could teach religion or catechism (with gluten-free Host, of course) at UCCF (University of the Celiac Cult Farm)??? Or, choose your own job, whatever you want!! Your husband looks like he'd fit in well with the comedy team......Oh and Carla, very interesting info about your grandfather!

Andrea don't forget that Rachel is ALSO the town ice-cream maker, and Rinne - I think - runs the juice bar.....Karen - do we need a counselor in R-ville, since it's perfect??? I think she's Altoids Ambassador on Special Assignment: Making All the Men Happy....not sure though...I make things up all the time, as you all know....

Donna - good luck with low or no-histamine - - remember, there are NO histamines in R-ville! :rolleyes:

Miamia - - do you have a job yet? did I miss it?

Fiddle-Faddle - - good info about the grapes and I have heard they are SO louded w/ pesticides, esp. the S. American ones...I soak mine in a bowl, am adding dish-soap from now on.....

that naughty Julie - she probably found naked stripper cops - - too bad we can't see...... :lol::lol::lol:

Where's Pengy? we haven't heard from her in a while - - maybe the gluten's driven her mad... ??

gotta go - - am thinking I must turn computer off to get many things done today.... :o

I want some homemade ICE CREAM!!!! Will settle for Hershey's nuggets today.....hope I can tolerate....

Karen said that I was Mayor, most gladly relinquish the post. As Senator, can I take junkets around the world with lobbiests that are my new closet and dearest friends.?

Somebody tell me if there's a good reason not to do this, but a friend of mine who seems to me to be very nutrition- and chemical-savvy instructed me to ALWAYS wash grapes. Not rinse. Wash. With dish soap. Which actually makes sense, because if you read the ingredients on the expensive fruit and vegetable wash that they sell in the produce aisle, the active ingredient is "surfactant."

Anyway, I've been doing this for about 8 years now, and I gotta say, it DOES get rid of that haze on the grapes, whereas plain water doesn't. So that must mean that that haze is totally CHEMICAL. :blink: And the grapes seem to taste much sweeter when I wash them with dish soap, too....just be sure to rinse really, really well!

Alison, I think that haze is a kind of mold. I gave up eating grapes years ago, because I'm so allergic to mold, and it wouldn't come off when I washed with just water. So, thanks for the tip about the dishwashing soap. Maybe I can eat grapes again! :)

Andrea, you may be right about the soy. I've wondered about it myself.

I ordered several things from gfbakery, and the box came yesterday. Lord have mercy, what a mess! :( The container of bread crumbs had broken open and covered everything else with fine, dust-like crumbs. My kitchen was covered with that stuff!!! Boy, was I mad! :angry::angry::angry:

I do believe we're fixing to get a storm. A miracle! I don't mind putting my computer to sleep for a lovely thunderstorm!

Talk to y'all later. Have a happy weekend!

Whatever you need....just remember we are a gluten free community....absolutely no gluten allowed from anyone visiting. :P

My husband definately would fit in the comedy team, or else the child entertainer ... he's great with kids, and they seem to flock to him. He will be glad to hear we're moving somewhere where there are not allergies. He's a big allergy sufferer.

I could teach catechism or religion. I actually coordinate youth work in three states, so it's what I do in the real world, so I thought a change of pace would be fun in the imaginary world!

Name please. I can't update anything without a name. He will be the 3rd hubby included. Anyone else's hubbies that want to join....need name and preferred occupation. :P

Wait... how did Tony get in R'Ville? Wonderful guy but how will I be able to look at the good looking cops running around? :o:lol:

Cecile,

Where've you been? He's been on the list since I took over. :P:lol:

hey, here's what I've heard a couple of men say over the years:

even a (wo)man on a diet can look at the menu..... ;) Because, as you know, these cops are going to be super-humanly perfect specimens, just there for looks and flirting, really, not law enforcment....

tiredofdoctors Enthusiast

Hey -- my husband is a Naval Architect -- and all around good guy (Catholic, too . . . could help defend the poor Catholics who are getting attacked on another thread . . . he, and the geese). At ANY rate, he could DESIGN any ships, etc. which are needed in R'ville . . . his name is Dave. He is also VERY good at telling people EXACTLY what he thinks about their opinions -- that they are best kept to themselves as far as he is concerned, because he doesn't care . . . when someone is causing "difficulty" . . . He would, however, become distracted (without admitting it) by the beautiful cops!!!!! We could use him . . . he's a keeper!

And, BTW: I want an OFFICIAL Rachelville T-shirt . . . one that says, "Rachelville: Don't hassle me, I'm a local" and has the Official Rachelville Trophy proudly displayed . . . . :lol:

Lynnie this T-shirt, while extremely appropriate, implies that there will be legions of visitors to R-ville....is this so? I mean, I KNOW they'll WANT to visit us, and paparazzi will be harassing us (the cops will come in handy here)....but, how will we handle this? I think they must all stay on busses and not be allowed out, you know, to mingle....unless they want to JOIN our cult and then we'll have brain-washing seminars they can attend.....and there, yes, the T-shirts are needed.... :)

Um, good idea, we need a ship-builder for our sea-faring buddies, but, is your husband mildly gay - - being distracted by the cops and all......just checking..... ;)

BTW, before I close down, I feel compelled to get on another soapbox.

Listen, my children, and you shall hear. Just because I'm Town Matriarch, and even though I can't see that town trophy, doesn't mean that I haven't . . . uh . . . been young. You'd be surprised at the tales old folks could tell. Remember that, the next time you see an old lady in her rocking chair, talking to herself and laughing. You may think it's senility, but I'm here to tell you it ain't necessarily so!

LYNNIE - SOS - just read this on the "good research paper on the neurological manisfestations" etc. - -

Hopefully someone will be able to answer the Purkinje question because I don't know the answer to that.

...on those perkinje cells in the brain - - I think your help is needed on that thread!

      Thanks for sharing, Karen. Certainly a needed reminder what we already knew (and I've posted many times on this forum) but sometimes forget, namely, autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. Where one is found, you can look for others to show up eventually. The thing that is unusual in your son's case is the onset of several of them at such a young age. My sister in law, who is in her early 60's has Crohn's and struggles with constipation so I don't think that is unusual with Crohn's. If nothing else, it's the outcome of not eating much because of the pain. Now that you know what is going on with your son and the Crohn's, we hope he is beginning to improve.
    • Nathan.
      Hi there. My son is turning 16 this month. He had an endoscopy and biopsy to confirm celiac. He went gluten-free and his pain never got any better. I think it got worse. Months went by. The pain started around 7th grade. He missed a lot of school in 8th grade, and a whole lot in 9th grade. He couldn't go to school in 10th grade. All along the gastroenterologist prescribed Hyoscyamine, didn't help at all. Cyproheptadine, no less pain. Peppermint oil, ginger, Miralax, Senna. Doc said he was constipated, but I couldn't get him to have Miralax daily. Eventually he went on Linzess and no senna or Miralax. Sorry this is long, there will be a point.  We gave his school not just a doctors not, but everything, and U of M makes a lot of notes. They still turned us in for Truancy.  I didn't get him enrolled in online school fast enough.  The school would not recommend an online school and i didn't know which one to choose.  Doc thought it was nerve pain and mental. He recommended the u of m my pain program.  Nathan did so good, 3 days a week supposed to be for 4 weeks.  Never missed, always on time.   After two weeks, they discharged him. Said it was not  benefitting him.  Pain went on. I had been asking if there were any other test they could do. Ultrasound, colonoscopy. Doc said we can do it, but I don't think we'll find anything.  Finally he had a colonoscopy and another endoscopy.  Guess what, they did find something. They found a ton of tiny ulcers everywhere, from the esophagus to his rectum. They think Crohn's. I understand they didn't check for that because he was more constipated, not much diarrhea. He is getting an MRI with contrast on Sunday. Also they want him to do a cal-protectin (give a poop sample). Then an appointment on the 16th to talk about treatment. Then the probation officer on the 17th. In the meantime he is taking Budesonide extended release.  $276.00 for 30 pills, and that's with insurance. Also he was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, Graves disease a few months ago. If it is for sure Crohn's,  it will be three autoimmune diseases. If someone is gluten-free for a month or more, and the pain is no better, don't stop looking. I was beside myself. Did they think he was exaggerating, lying? I was considering taking him to a holistic doctor, who would probably recommend Peppermint oil and ginger.  He's such a good kid. Kind of an introvert. He was on the 9th grade soccer team. He would try to go to practice and kept having to stop, the pain was that bad. Every time he ate, it didn't matter what, gluten-free chicken tenders, mac and cheese, pizza, ice cream, all gluten-free, he would eat a normal amount but stop and say, I can't eat anymore, my stomach hurts.  If anyone reads all this, thank you. I had a gut feeling, no pun intended, that he had an additional problem. They found celiac and stopped looking. If you don't feel better, keep on your doctor to check further, keep looking.   Take care, Karen

      I think it takes different people different amounts of time, but in my own case I had pain,  bloating and loose stools for some time, exacerbated by a lactose intolerance, which eventually went.  I would say the really bad diarrhea got better quite quickly, but the bloating pain carried on for a few months, until I was told to give up lactose for a few weeks.  That helped enormously and once I realised milk and yoghurt was the cause, after a short break I went back to lactose very gradually and felt a lot better.  Now I can tolerate it well. From Coeliac UK "The enzyme lactase is found in the brush border of the small intestine. This is why people with coeliac disease can be deficient in lactase at diagnosis. Once established on a gluten free diet, the gut is able to heal and lactose digestion returns to normal. Lactose intolerance is therefore usually temporary." So if this helps your daughter, this doesn't mean you have to give up lactose forever, especially as dairy is such a good source of calcium for growing kids.   Bear in mind you should be able to reintroduce it. As for fatigue, this can be due to vitamin and mineral deficiencies,such as iron, vitamin D and B12.  Were these levels tested?  If not, I would suggest you get them done.  If your daughter is deficient in these, it is vital you address the deficiencies, and get the tests redone in a few months, particularly the iron, because too much can be dangerous.

      Hello,   The medication in these inhalers can cause a thiamine deficiency if used by someone already low in thiamine.  We don't absorb sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals due to the inflammation and damage done to our villi in Celiac Disease.  Even a long term strict gluten free diet may not provide sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals.  There are eight B vitamins that all work together.  Thiamine deficiency often shows up first because our bodies use so much of it and it can't be stored very long. Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  Without thiamine, the other B vitamins may not be able to function properly.   Thiamine is needed to clear lactic acid accumulation caused by the inhalers: Shoshin beriberi provoked by the inhalation of salbutamol https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12951730/    Significant Lactic Acidosis from Albuterol https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5965110/ Albuterol-Induced Type B Lactic Acidosis: Not an Uncommon Finding https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7263006/ Lessons of the month 1: Salbutamol induced lactic acidosis: clinically recognised but often forgotten https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6964186/ An Overview of Type B Lactic Acidosis Due to Thiamine (B1) Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10731935/   Thiamine has antifungal and antibacterial properties.  Thiamine helps keep Candida in check.  Thiamine helps keep SIBO in check.  Thiamine helps with black mold, Aspergillis infection.  Riboflavin helps fight Candida infection in the mouth. Riboflavin Targets the Cellular Metabolic and Ribosomal Pathways of Candida albicans In Vitro and Exhibits Efficacy against Oropharyngeal Candidiasis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36625571/   Thiamine deficiency can make ones voice hoarse and can cause localized edema.  Niacin deficiency can make ones voice hoarse.  (Niacin deficiency and Thiamine deficiency can each cause irritability, agitation, and lability.) Hoarseness in pellagra https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21507655/ Hidden Hunger: A Pellagra Case Report https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8152714/   Anesthesia can cause B12 deficiency.  B12 deficiency can show up as mouth sores and geographic tongue, diarrhea, and dementia. Vitamin deficiency, a neglected risk factor for post-anesthesia complications: a systematic review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11823251/ Neurologic degeneration associated with nitrous oxide anesthesia in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8250714/ Subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord following nitrous oxide anesthesia: A systematic review of cases https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30144777/ The Effect of Vitamin B12 Infusion on Prevention of Nitrous Oxide-induced Homocysteine Increase: A Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4052402/     Eating a diet that is heavy in carbohydrates can precipitate a thiamine deficiency.  As the amount of carbohydrates consumed increases, additional thiamine is needed, otherwise the carbs will be stored as fat.   Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/   The deficiency symptoms of some of the B vitamins cause gastrointestinal symptoms that resemble the same symptoms as when being glutened.   Thiamine deficiency can present as vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain (Gastrointestinal Beriberi).  Niacin deficiency can present as diarrhea (Pellagra = diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia, then death ).  B12 deficiency can present as diarrhea or dementia.  Not everything is caused by hidden gluten.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins lost in processing like gluten containing foods are. Blood tests are not accurate measurements of vitamin levels, but do talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with the eight B vitamins, Vitamin C, the four fat soluble vitamins and minerals like magnesium.  Your physician can give you a shot of B12 before anesthesia administration.   By the way, Celiac Disease genes have been traced back to having originated in Neanderthals.  I'm not a singing teacher on the net.  I earned a degree in Microbiology after studying nutrition because I wanted to know what vitamins are doing inside the body.  I've experienced nutritional deficiencies myself. Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!
