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

LMAO!!!

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.

Ok Susan, maybe you need to give me your friends number so I can call her/him and tell them to hitail it to your place and confiscate the nuggets for future interventions. :P

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:

      I do also have the bloating, gas, constipation, hair loss, an auto-splenectomy that no one can see any reason for and some elevated liver enzymes that don't seem to have a cause, I also have joint pain and some spinal compression fractures that have no explanation.  I am only 42 so haven't had a bone density test yet.  My calcium was normal, but my D was a little low.  They haven't checked for any other vitamin deficiencies yet.  My blood test for an autoimmue disorder was quite high but my Thyroid was all normal.

      Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so.  I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab.  Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab.  I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right???  It would explain a lot of things for me.  She does have me scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscopy in  2 weeks to do the biopsy.  I posted this prior, but forgot to put the range assuming they were all the same.  Someone advised me to repost with the ranges for some insight in the meantime. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 140 (normal) - Normal is 87-352 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 256 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 65 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 31 (High) - Moderate to strong positive above 10 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 10 (High) - Positive is at or above 10

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.
    • AuntieAutoimmune
      Thanks,Scott. Yes, I had already seen those 
    • Scott Adams
      Unless your blood antibody levels are 10x the celiac disease positive level they usually do an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
