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:

:lol::lol:

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

Oh yeah! Forgot about that Donna....

Thank gaaaaaawd for pre-established rules! :P

The inflammation sets up the pain, and the nerves and muscles in my jaw and puzzling enough its concentrated mostly there and in my neck and somtimes wrists. Its arthritis, in a sense, not rhumatoid, ive been tested for that, it could be something more vague like a systemic autoimmune thing going on in my body. Thats why no doctors have been able to figure it out.

I love but hate being so sensitive!

Premature Post:

Well, Christine, maybe I can ease your mind about your wrists, so you'll have one less thing to worry about. Granted, it's only a baby step, but we all have to start somewhere.

My mother's fourth cousin thrice removed, Lula, had a dangling nerve in her right wrist, and that thing drove her crazy. She worried about it constantly, and often described the weird sensations it caused. Poor Lula went from doctor to doctor all her life, to no avail. To the day she died, at the age of 96, she never did find a doctor who was able to figure it out.

So, if I were you, I wouldn't waste another minute worrying about those wrists. Concentrate instead on the big picture, the systemic autoimmune thing going on in your body. Hope this information helps.

I was wondering... should cooking shows, and esply the Food Network be shown to small childern with celiac disease? Seems like it be like porno to them :lol:

Cruelage!!! :lol:

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

:lol::lol:

You are well on your way Donna! When you get the urge..think about how you'll feel lying in bed...trying to sleep but cant because your itchy legs are driving you mad. You can do this!

Remember Andrea's inspirational chant?

I know I can, I know I can, I know I can...resist the chocolate!!! :D

Yeah....it doesnt work too well for me either. I'm still addicted to ice cream. :rolleyes:

Holy Heck! There are dozens of plump, moist, gluten filled banana nut muffins (with cinnamon sprinkled on top) sitting in the break room at work right now...and GET THIS...noone is eating them!! :blink:

This is way beyond my comprehension....the things in life that are taken for granted! :rolleyes: Will wonders never cease?

Now...if it were me who could eat these muffins...well you can be damn sure I'd be walking around looking like Donna with crumbs all over my mouth and little puffs of muffin flying out everytime someone speaks to me. :D

Well....we had quite the party last night. I was so far behind it took me all night to catch up.. Rachelville once again consumed me and I never made it to Whole Foods to get some food. Sitting here with nothing to eat 'cept an artichoke. <_<

I caved and went for the bag of corn chips....I ate alot. :ph34r:

Waiting for the blisters to appear....should be any minute now. :rolleyes:

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

I will post this info as soon as I get it. :)

I still havent heard anything back about my ultrasound. They said my doc would call in a day or two..its almost been two weeks now. <_<

Do you think they have seen the alien baby and are not sure what to do about it. I remember it felt as if he was quite disturbed that day after I poured about a gallon of water into my gut. :huh:

I'm getting a little worried...I shall call them today.

OMG...."The Dave" is here......he is suppossed to be at WORK! :o

Mr. Dave, was the party a little too much excitement for you last night? Did Rachelville keep you from fulfilling your obligations of the day? Dont worry...I'm holding down the fort for ya. ;)

Dave will love being in the R-ville vocabulary list.

OH Gaaaaawd...he has become part of the wordage now. :lol::lol:

Rachel,

That saying of mine is good in theory. :P

Oh no, out of food and nothing to eat but bad things. I haven't been to the store but payday isn't until Thursday. Mitch goes for little things like fruit when we run low. I have to make the journey for stocking up though. I hate it....it throws Seth off his schedule.

I would definately call the office and find out if they forgot about you.

Oh how I've missed the alien baby!

I ate corn chips yesterday and I feel like dog poop today. How is it I can eat the sprouted corn tortillas and tamales no problem but I get so sick eating corn chips? Maybe Celia's scientificness post has something to do with this?

OH Gaaaaawd...he has become part of the wordage now. :lol::lol:

I guess I did a "Dave" with the corn chips

Donna, remember how in R-Ville everything is happy and perfect?? We dont really kill things here...especially in such a violent manner. :o

I'm thinking we may actually need an intervention clinic in the town....it will be a busy place I'm sure. :rolleyes:

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)!

nikki, that is the worst waiting for test results. So much anxiety. I will keep you and your son in my thoughts that all is well.

If he would happen to have celiac, at least he has his wonderful parents to guide and support him.

:ph34r: have mildly nuggetted myself (had about 10). A friend just came to view the paint color and I gave her the bag. They are out of my life. I cannot be alone with them, clearly. A sad day, isn't it Donna with the Bumble crums all over your face... I am going to have to hunt those down and try them. Carefully.

Am still quite amused over our madness and what exactly people can find when they google our town. Clearly we lost out minds last night......am going to revisit those pages, I was under the influence of many many things including chocolate hallucinogens.

Vincent - food channel = porn channel - - - :lol::lol:

ANDREA - - please add Dingo Wrangler to my job title.....Julie - - :lol::lol::lol:

am doubled over, literally, with the most excruciating residual gas bomb......BTW I did eat broccoli again last night, so it was either the Thins or the chicken, and the chicken has never done that to me.....those evil Nut Thins. I am writing a letter to their company. Maybe.

Julie, have you ever taken the tortillas you eat and made your own corn chips?

Vincent, thank you for sharing that wonderful story about your son.

Andrea, thanks for tracking the wordage. :)

I'm going to cut out chocolate for a month and then make the most delicious chocolate cake with chocolate icing, totally indulge and see what happens. I may spend the next month just planning the cake. :lol:

That sounds wonderful.....and dangerous.

Have you ever tried carob. I'm assuming your ok with soy lecithin. Carob chips are very good and I have a recipe for carob treats that are really good, depending on what your diet limitations are. Some have very few ingredients. Do you like mint? Melted carob chips with mint flavor is yummy. I can't have those anymore since I'm soy intolerant. :( I also liked homemade Peanut Butter Cups with Carob of course.

Andrea, I'm not sure about the soy lecithin but once I'm pulling a Chocolate Dave I'm living on the edge. :lol: I do like carob and mint and would love the recipe for the Peanut Butter Cups with Carob. I do have carob powder and it is supposed to be beneficial for me to eat.

AndreaB Contributor

The recipes actually use carob chips which have lecithin in them.

I have made my own carob type treat with carob powder/coconut oil/touch sugar/coconut and almonds.

Now I buy enjoy life chocolate chips which are pretty good.

You can easily make a carob cake substituting the carob powder for the cocoa.

Anyone every have Hydrogen breath tests for baterial overgrowth and/or lactose intolerance?

These do not sound like fun! I think I am going to be spinached and pulling a Dave all at once. The testing service just warned me I may be visiting the porcelain god after both tests. :(:blink::o

Dave, Dave, Dave....did you not read the town list.

Cissie is in charge of the auxigro detecting geese who also patrol the borders of our village and keep gluten intruders out.

Remember....you must go through the de-gluten chamber before coming back to our lovely village after foraging in the town over the hill.

Another Premature Post:

Dear Dave (The),

We welcome you with open arms, and you ridicule the ferocity of our geese? I, in my role of Minister of Defense in charge of our miraculous, protective, Auxigro-detecting geese, deem it advisable to caution you thusly: Tiptoe lightly through our Rachelvillian tulips. The geese and I are ordinarily peaceful inhabitants. Don't make us have to hurt you! :ph34r:

      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 😣

      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.
