Recommended Posts

Jean-Luc Rookie

Wow, leave overnight and come back to 14 pages of stuff to catch-up on. I hope everyone is feeling better today.

Bev and Vincent - good luck with your tests. My prayers are with both of you. Vincent, great news on your son.

Dave - I agree equal treatment for all construction workers. :rolleyes:

Miamia - you won't be lonely here. If you miss a couple of days, I am sure Rachel or AndreaB will send the Dingos looking for you.

Are we going to have food anonymous meetings in Rachelville? :P

Good idea, but I can't lead them....it wouldn't give credibility to my talk with chocolate bumble bar crumbs all over my face. :lol:

Guess what! I got the results of my tests from Entero Lab! Yay!!!

Premature posting...I'm sure someone else has asked and you've responded, but just in case...SO WHAT DID THEY SAY, lol? :lol:

Back to reading...

donna- I have been chocolate free for over a month. It stinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( i live for the day I can eat a Reese's

A MONTH!!! :lol: The thought gives me chills, lol...I am so proud of you, I KNOW that's not easy!

Donna - the itch, did the dermatologist consider Dermatitis Herpetiformis? It's one of the first things s/he should consider when a Coeliac presents with an unbearable itch! On a 0-10 scale of itchiness DH is around 12. I have been known to wake up with a completely raw arms where I've scratched off several layers of skin in my sleep. It starts with little raised red lumps and progresses to blisters filled with fluid. It's usually, but not always, bilateral on the body, meaning if you have it on one leg you might find it in the same place on the other as well. It's aggravated by gluten and dietary iodine (too much salt or seafood).

I haven't actually gone in yet...go Friday, but will definitely mention it, although I don't seem to have the blistering. I do have pink raised areas that feel rough...I don't have good eyes anymore, but did try to look under a magnifying glass...I thought at one time some of the little bumps looked blistery...but I scratch so darned much that I'm not sure I'd ever really see any. I haven't seen any of the dermatologists in this group before, but they are in the same group as my GI, so if they haven't noticed the gluten issues I'll be sure to mention it. It is somewhat symetrical...both thighs will itch in the same place, but I usually don't see a lot of marking until AFTER I've scratched. I do eat a lot of salt, but I don't think it has iodine (sea salt). :o

I am not great I went away for the weekend for this yearly family trip and there all still there and I am here- not a good sign. I wasen;t feeling well when I went away and it only got worse I tried to tough it out and made it a few days but finally today I gave up and came home. I went to this health center and now I am finally home ..... My brain is mush and my body is not so happy

Gosh, I'm so sorry!!!!

Good googly moogly! I have to do my heart test this week (MUGA Scan if your in the know... ) wensday am... hope they find somthign good in there this time.... Wensday at 830am I think it is.. I should find out I guess....

:o Hope all goes well!!! Yes, better find out, lol.

So I get this MUGA twice a year to see if its getting worse or stable. If its stalbe I might be okay, if its getting worse that would be very bad. A pacemaker is almost garrenteed to be in my future... oh yea. Im only 31 way to young for this junk.

:o:o

Ok, big change, drum roll... Mister Ds helped me change my signature...f5 and look!! Is it too loud?!

btw-my teenage son wanted to know if Rachelville has a strip club. Yes, I am going to wash out his mouth with soap.

No, your signature is just fine...looks beautiful! And, :o on that son, lol. :lol:

If you want some GOOD news ... scratch that, if you want some AWSOME news for a change check out :

Open Original Shared Link

:D and with that I am off... Good night and good geese'ing!

WOW!!!! Wonderful!

Julie,

My doc is looking into this for me. Not for Claritin though...another antihistamine...I think Zyrtec?? Is that an antihistamine? I dunno...it started with a Z though. Shes gonna ask about that or ANY antihistimine that can be compounded. She said the Ketotifen is mainly for the gut and asthma...not the same as these other antihistimines.

I take Zyrtek, so will be really interested if it can be compounded! :D

:lol::lol:

Yeah Donna...you and me both. Except I dont have the itchy leg thing going on.

CHOCOLATE!!

Donna, you must limit yourself...do we need another intervention?

Oh yeah....who am I to talk...the ice cream freak over here calling the kettle black. :ph34r:

Chocolate is super high in histamine...no wonder your legs are itching like that! :o

:lol: Yep, intervention may be needed...it's 8:46 a.m. and so far I've had NO chocolate, lol. :lol:

at least an actual HUMAN is witnessing your madness and can laugh with you...here, Annie just comes running across the room if I laugh too hard...

At least you have Annie...all I have are all the ants I've helped relocate, lol, staring in through the window. :lol:

Clearly a necessity...but please just remember.....there are a handful of women contruction workers too! Can't be discriminating in Rachelville now can we?

I think not.

-Dave

Although they shall not be shirtless, lol...we have a pre-established rule about clothing in Rachelville. :lol:

oh we definitely need a chocolate intervention! I am wondering - - do you all, who are sensitive to histamines, sneeze a lot? because I never really sneeze any more, since allergies are gone (hay fever reactions, which mostly left when I moved to Monterey)....

No don't sneeze a lot...haven't with any of my allergies...mine manifest in itchy skin or stuffed up sinuses. :angry:

Robbin,

Morning comes to fast when you're up so late doesn't it.

Donna,

Hope you have a good day and get some resolution for your itchy skin.

Miamia,

Glad to see you on this morning. Hope that each day starts getting a little better and you can start taking more steps forward than backward.

Picard,

Equality among construction workers has been taken into account......but you guys are still outnumbered! :P

Patti,

Who knows how many pages you might miss the next few nights. Lynne says the full moon is coming up on Wednesday. At least I have a quiet, sleeping house in the evening so I can sit here and laugh to myself at the computer. :P

Rinne,

That list..... :lol::lol::lol:

Chelsea,

I thought you'd like the bat time reference.

Evie,

Tomatoes....I'll take some. Somehow I don't think they'd be in the bestest shape after they arrived here through the mail though. :lol:

Dave will love being in the R-ville vocabulary list. :P Who volunteers to go back and find it.....only within the last 30 pages afterall. :lol:

dlp252 Apprentice
What I see in common is that You guys are all on restrictive diets to heal and maintain health, so thats what I am trying to accomplish too, even if what Im saying about teeth and jaw pain and heavy metals, thryoid, etc. doesnt make a connection with anyone, it still helps to vent to you guys. I think we all have different problems that are unique anyway and we bring our own personality and style to the community.

Yep, we don't have the same issues, but in general we're all trying to figure it all out. Something someone says here may help you...hope it does.

Ok true story guys.... The other day Rachel and I were hanging out and she had to like stop the conversation to explain to me what the difference between a brownout and a blackout was....and then told me she learned it here....so don't feel bad Donna....you're awesome! haha :P

:lol: Gosh, didn't think anyone would actually remember it. :lol:

nikki-uk Enthusiast

Well it looked like I missed some party last night guys <_<

Typical,I always leave,and then the fun starts :lol: (time differences an all you guys are always sleeping when I post :lol: )

Full moon aye?I'm on my guard :ph34r:

I like the new R/ville word- a' Davidism 'or

you 'done a Dave'- such wordage!

Ok,I phoned my sons clinic for the results of his repeat celiac disease screen.

The nurse said the paediatrician wants to discuss the results with me and they've given me an appt for the 22nd Aug.I explained we was away then,so she come back on the phone and said he'll see us on the 30th :o -she wouldn't tell me on the phone the blood results..

Mmm,I've never got an appt that quick,I'm assuming the worst and that he's had positive bloods (can't think what else he'd want to discuss <_< )

I know I've been pushing for testing for my son as he has some of the symptoms-but now it comes to the crunch-

Well good googly moogly, I don't want him to have it !!!(stamping Foot)!

I am trying to make a rule of using my favourite saying as often as I can :D:D

See ya :)

P.S Donna-no chocolate??!!

That is just downright cruel!

dlp252 Apprentice
Yes, Donna this is true. Sorry to have accussed you of making up Brown Outs...again. :ph34r:

You're forgiven...see my millionth quote response above. :lol:

OH GOOD GAWWWWWWDDDDD!!!!! :lol::lol:

Nikki,

Are you it's almost 10 Pacific time. Are you guys about 9 hours ahead of us?

I would be going crazy waiting that long to see the test results. Please keep us posted.

When are you leaving again?

oh good gaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwdd.....very good Mia....

I, too feel hungover this morning, Robbin, was just thinking that PRECISE thing and saw your post! ha ha ha :lol:

Susan,

It's all the chocolate. :P

OK, just maybe it's because you were up late. :unsure:

:o

Where is the gluten free Big Mac???

I will go anywhere!

Is the Big Mac bunless....cuz how can it really be a Big Mac without the bun? :unsure:

I'm trying to see what's been going on in R'ville and saw a post from "The Dave" So we even have a new resident since the last time I was here!! Gosh, more happens here in a day than a soap opera!! :P

I don't know if anyone answered this, I haven't read all the posts I've missed, nor will I be able to, but it's Helsinki, Finland. It will definately be a place I visit someday! I bet they have wheat starch in them though, but it's only a guess since it's generally accepted for a celiac in Europe, as far as I can tell.

Welcome Dave! Makes sense the village idiot would be the one who is not gluten-free!!! :lol:

Oh, spinach! A chocolate Dave, how can I keep up with it all??? I live too far east, so most of your posts are done when it's the middle of the night here!!! Especially since it's late for you, too!!

      If you have been eating the gluten equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for say, 4 weeks, I think a repeat blood test would be valid.
    • englishbunny
      it did include Total Immunoglobin A which was 135, and said to be in normal range. when i did the blood test in January I would say I was on a "light' gluten diet, but def not gluten free.  I didn't have any clue about the celiac thing then.  Since then I have been eating a tonne of gluten for the purpose of the endoscopy....so I'm debating just getting my blood test redone right away to see if it has changed so I'm not waiting another month...
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?
    • englishbunny
      I'm upset & confused and really need help finding a new gastro who specializes in celiac in California.  Also will welcome any insights on my results. I tested with an isolated positive for deamidated IGA a few months ago (it was 124.3, all other values on celiac panel <1.0), I also have low ferritin and Hashimotos. Mild gastro symptoms which don't seem to get significantly worse with gluten but I can't really tell... my main issues being extreme fatigue and joint pain. The celiac panel was done by my endocrinologist to try and get to the bottom of my fatigue and I was shocked to have a positive result. Just got negative biposy result from endoscopy. Doctor only took two biopsies from small intestine (from an area that appeared red), and both are normal. Problem is his Physician's Assistant can't give me an answer whether I have celiac or not, or what possible reason I might have for having positive antibodies if I don't have it. She wants me to retest bloods in a month and says in the meantime to either "eat gluten or not, it's up to you, but your bloodwork won't be accurate if you don't" I asked if it could be I have early stage celiac so the damage is patchy and missed by only having two samples taken, and she said doctor would've seen damaged areas when performing endoscopy (?) and that it's a good sign if my whole intestine isn't damaged all over, so even if there is spotty damage I am fine.  This doesn't exactly seem satisfactory, and seems to be contrary to so much of the reading and research I have done. I haven't seen the doctor except at my endoscopy, and he was pretty arrogant and didn't take much time to talk. I can't see him or even talk to him for another month. I'm really confused about what I should do. I don't want to just "wait and see" if I have celiac and do real damage in the meantime. Because I know celiac is more that just 'not eating bread' and if I am going to make such a huge lifestyle adjustment I need an actual diagnosis. So in summary I want to find another doctor in CA, preferably Los Angeles but I don't care at this stage if they can do telehealth! I just need some real answers from someone who doesn't talk in riddles. So recommendations would be highly welcomed. I have Blue Shield CA insurance, loads of gastros in LA don’t take insurance at all 😣
    • trents
      Okay, Lori, we can agree on the term "gluten-like". My concern here is that you and other celiacs who do experience celiac reactions to other grains besides wheat, barley and rye are trying to make this normative for the whole celiac community when it isn't. And using the term "gluten" to refer to these other grain proteins is going to be confusing to new celiacs trying to figure out what grains they actually do need to avoid and which they don't. Your experience is not normative so please don't proselytize as if it were.
