HI Mango! I see you! It's just Mango and me at this late hour - er, for her, guess she's a whole day ahead or something crazy..... :blink: How is that job with you stuck in the room by yourself?

Did everyone go to bed.....

Well good night, dear ones. Off to do some reading in bed and get the kind out of my back. Where is our physical therapist??

xoxo to all - -

no red alerts today??? ;)

Hi! Now I'm all by myself in Rachelville :( . I'm glad the citizens of Rachelville could keep me entertained today while I was working LOL.

It's 4:31 pm here where I am and everyone else in Rachelville has gone to sleep I guess. Good night :)

Hi Meredith.

I came back....I was trying to clean up my mailbox so it won't overflow and send back rejects.

When do you start your job again? Have you done much sightseeing outside of the main town?

Ok...so The Dave has been in RachelVille...oh...maybe around 24 hours now.

So far he has violated the "must wear clothing" rule....poisoned our Geese with gluten and Auxigro and decided that he will not follow rule # 1 (which states all residents must be gluten free).

Cant wait to see what tomorrow brings. :rolleyes:

Ummmm....Boss Henry??? :lol:

Those two words just dont seem compatible to me...as Susan would say....

I'm....scared....hold....me... :unsure:

OK Rachel, What time does he get off so I can be on Mother Hen patrol. I'll expect a report during your lunch so you can check the schedule.

:lol::lol::lol:

I started my job yesterday. It's just a temporary position. I'm staying in the CBD and the office where I'm working is out in the middle of nowhere so I get to see lots of stuff during the bus ride here LOL.

:lol: Not surprised about that! We have been quite gabby lately.

Ok ....no need to call the OBGYN yesterday...she called me while I was at work. Couldnt pick up the phone since I was busy at the time. Her message said "Nothing to worry about. Nothings changed...can you call me back tomorrow at my office tomorrow." That was all it said...I'm thinking this means the cysts are still there??? Not really sure exactly what she meant by nothings changed. I'm assuming its the cysts though....either that or the alien baby is still wreaking havoc and they couldnt see anything?? If that was the case though I think they'd have said something that day....but on that day the tech seemed as if all was normal. Nothing like what was on the OB's face when my intestines were dancing all over the place.

Will find out today.....my plan is to still to get them removed if they are still there.

She purposely had the ultrasound done right after my period (sorry guys) so if the cysts are still there obviously they are not dissolving like they should.

Celia.....what if you were right along and the cysts are causing these crazy sensitivities???? Good googly moogly. :blink:

Oh....I dont think I'll be staring longingly at the Yoplait yogurts as I stock them anymore...matter of fact I'm pretty happy I got sick and cant eat them!! :blink:

This is what I woke up to this am...The first thing I saw on my screen....

Will wonders never cease???? This kind of info cant be good for Yoplait or any of the other foods listed...

I cannont BELIEVE this one though.... :blink:

On a lighter note and with less scientificness....being the animal lover that I am I thought this was just the cutest thing. :)

I saw a program about baby pandas once....they are soooo adorable....although these ones are not "quite" at that point yet....not really looking "pandaish" yet.

I'm speeeed reading...catching up fast! Only 4 pages back now.

I'm replying to multiple posts (learned this from The Dave)

Glad the Village Idiot is good for something :rolleyes:

LMAO...

It took me awhile to catch on to this...

And just what are you implying Mr. Not my Boss??

At 6 am I am busy greeting customers and at this point I have no use for an iPod as our customers are my only priority. Don't you know this?? Sheeessh. :rolleyes:

Ok....so I need to wrap my mind around this too. :blink:

How is it that she watches Bounty Hunter and yet has never heard of Brad and Angelina??? :unsure:

Ummm...yes. And I'm STILL not caught up. I simply asked the Rachelvillians to slow things down and several people seemed to *think* about it...but yet went on to add about 15 more pages! :o

Shhheeeesh....my own cult farm has gone wild.

Jersey...I sure as heck did! I walked right past those darn gluten crackers that are disguised as rice crackers! I've learned my lesson! I'm never touching those nasty things again!

Besides I have like 3 packages of them at home still. :ph34r:

YAY Mango!!!!

Yeah...me thinks the geese have been slippin a bit. <_<

Cissie what is wroooooong with the geese??? :huh:

LMAO!!!

OMG Chelse. :blink:

I'm tryin to imagine what this could possibly be about.... :unsure:

OH Gaaaaaaawd I'm being robbed of my emotions again!!! :angry:

As for the french, I am glad the Canadian Gov't makes us learn it to enter public service. (hence the job here in R-Ville)

Just wanted to check in. Have to get ready to go to work and take DD to day care. Will try to chat later.

Talk to you all soon.

Surprised so many people know French on here....or some of it anyway..... I always figures Spanish would be the more obvious choice (well...especially for us here in California!)

Except those of us who took SIX years of Spanish and still can't speak a word of it.

Good googly moogly, still reading...

Omg, Rachel, you will appreciate this story -Remember the little pond I was going to put fish in? Well, I did put some fish in-coincidentally their names were (notice WERE) Jean-Claude, Patrice, Lisette, and WeeWee.

Sad, sad story it is. I was so excited and put them in their new home, with water temp. just right, chlorine removed, food, nice glass baubles in the bottom and to my horror, the next day found them all dead. Stuck to the bottom of the pump!!!! They were sucked into the pump that the fountain flowed from!! They are now fertilizer in my flower bed. Alas, the circle of life...... :blink:

:o This (odd as it may be) made me laugh, you relocated them, lol!!! :lol::lol::lol:

I would gladly give it to you...it's only 10 pounds though, but I'd give it to you in a heartbeat! :D

All caught up...now I have to work...then have to shop for more beads to make more bracelets....30 isn't enough. :ph34r:

Grr. Had a nice long post and lost it <_<

Anyway, I am j'aime-ing all this french. I took 6 years of it, and need to brush up for my culinary training...

I've taken two languages since then, greek and asl, so they all run together :blink:

And Rinne, you don't speak french... you forgot the pas. Je ne parle pas francais bien! So confusing sometimes...

Andrea - Keeping up on your languages is what babelfish is for :P

Rachel - Eww about the food additives. Gross. Although, many yogurts are colored by beet juice, I think Stonyfield is...

The aflac guy...well, he liked to imitate the damned duck, obnoxiously. He's also the reason they give that whole date rape talk at freshman orientation <_<

Anyhoo, y'all need to sleep sometimes so that I can catch up in the morning!!! Sheesh!!!

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed.  Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease.   On your test results, this line  "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low.  People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done.  Low Total IgA means you are making low levels of tTg  IgA as well, leading to false negatives or "weak positives".  Maybe a DNA test for known Celiac genes.   Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause test results like these.  Get checked for B12 deficiency anemia and have your iron (ferritin) checked.  Vitamin D deficiency is common, too.   Might be time to find a gastrointestinal doctor who is more familiar with diagnosing Celiac Disease.   Best wishes on your journey!  Please keep us posted on your progress.

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, there is a trend in the medical community to forego the endoscopy/biopsy and grant an official celiac diagnosis based on high tTG-IGA antibody scores alone. This trend started in the UK and is spreading to the USA medical community. And yes, 5-10x the normal level is what I have been seeing as the threshold as well. Here is the relevant section dealing from the article above dealing with the importance of the total IGA test being ordered. See the embedded attachment.

      By hmkr · Posted

      Ok, interesting. Not what I was thinking that meant. I'm reading the article and trying to understand. I see this “According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy” My IgG is 90, which is 6 times. So to me that means it's highly likely I do have it.

      It just means you aren't IGA deficient, i.e., that IGA deficiency cannot have given you artificially low scores in the individual IGA celiac antibody tests. This is explained in the article Scott linked above.

      Normal range: 70 - 400 mg/dL, a little above middle of the range. So what does that mean? Thank you! I will check out that page you linked. Appreciate it!
