Here is the application for a job in R-ville.

Are you gluten free? Yes, and proud of it!!

Do you promise to never infiltrate Rachelville with gluteney foods? Yes, of coarse!!

Do you promise to never bring gigantic Auxigro ridden produce into R-Ville? I do. (Raise right hand.)

Can I have a job now? :P

Ofcourse :D ....although that's not in my job description. I'm sure you'll have one soon B)

I just wanted to stop by Rachelville for a visit...and say HI. =)

I admit, I had no idea what Rachelville was, until I pm'd JerseyAngel. I didn't want to seem like a dork. But, someone much braver than I asked publicly.... and I must give that person Kudos!!!

So... HI! =)

Hello and welcome :D Don't worry about sounding like a dork....I do it all the time.

Hi everyone, glad to find that Rachelville continues joyfully. I am so impressed by how graciously these growing pains have been handled.

My computer is still not working as far as this site goes. Is anyone else running Windows 2000? Yesterday I felt just horrible about it and my sweetie actually offered to leave his work computer for me but I said no, I'll be O.K. :(

Oh gosh...I might go through BAD withdrawal if my computer died, yikes!

Na, you just delegate, delegate, delegate! There are certainly enough people around here to delegate to!! And my rule is delegate to the youngest one who can do a task ... that way the older kids don't get overburdened and neither do I!

I finally got a pic on where you can see a little better, so the name order is now wrong.

I will try to put up a picture --- no promises. :ph34r:

It was a wedding shower for one of her friends, so she didn't pick the place. Since she went gluten-free on her own just because she feels better, she doesn't worry about cc like we do ... but she generally just eats before she leaves the house so she can avoid gluten. Her friends are getting used to her watching them eat. All I can say is she must REALLY feel better to be so diligent about it!! Well ... her severe seasonal allergies have completely gone away, so I guess that's her motivation.

Pink and Purple....hmmmmm....I dont recall liking those colors as a child. <_< Am I the only girl who didnt go crazy for pink and purple ribbons?? :unsure:

I

Nope! I don't really like purple. And I didn't like pink very much until a few years ago....and I'm "old"!! :rolleyes:

My room was painted yellow when I was a kid. Bright and cheerful!! :D

Cool!!!! You can help construct all our patios in Rachelville, lol! Horse training might come in handy too as we're trying to round up the stray dingos and geese. Andrea? (Andrea is the keeper of the town list)

Well it was about a month or less after I decided to go gluten free....so I made the exception and ate a glutened meal at Tumbleweed :ph34r: I didn't want to make a big deal since first of all, I just started going gluten free and nobody really got it. And secondly, at that point I wasn't sure if I would continue to remain that way. All my friends understand it now....and they're pretty used to it. Not only that, but I have another friend who just started going gluten free a couple of days ago bc she's having problems and aren't sure what they are from.

Yes my allergies are a huge reason that I keep this up. But I also have other little things that help. :D

I'm in Cincinnati, where are you?

Well, six year old girls anyway!! :o

Good point! I'm in Kentucky....just north of Louisville.

:lol: Whenever I say thongs, all my kids think I'm talking about underwear!! :lol:

I thought underwear & I'm no kid that is for sure. Ha!

You bet! :D We would need to know you're interests/hobbies to better place you. Also your name unless you want me to list it as samking.

Welcome to town! :P

I just wanted to stop by Rachelville for a visit...and say HI. =)

So... HI! =)

Jayhawkmom,

Come back anytime. If you want to be a regular and have a job....let us know.....application is on page 1.....very easy. For those that aren't gluten free we have a deglutenizing chamber. :lol:

Well, right now I run a concrete plant. I dabbled in masonry and construction. Used to train horses. Maybe I can be town maitnance? Along with the other guys :)

I could put you on as Town Maintenance; Construction Worker; Trail Ride Guide if you are interested.

What kind of horses did you train? Cursious minds want to know.......I LOVE :wub: horses!

AndreaB Contributor

Hello everyone! :D

It's good to see you found us Dave.

Carla and Morgan.....oops on the picture. I just saw the similar face picture and didn't even look at the name. I like both the new pictures. :)

Picard.......yes, picture please.

Rachel,

Why do I think his bark is worse then his bite? Afterall he didn't say anything about the orange jug.

Donna,

I'm here and I'll get the town list up soon, at least the addons.

My daughter had a super rough time going to sleep last night. We let her stay up til around 9/9:30 since her daddy was leaving and she didn't go to sleep til around 12 because she was worried about me going to bed before she went to sleep. I tried telling her numerous times that if she went to sleep I would be up til after she went to sleep. Then the baby woke up at 6:30, I had covered him up and he decided it was time to get up. He can pull himself to standing so that is great fun. I ignored him and he finally settled down again but I didn't look at the clock. I will be quite surprised if hubby gets home tonight....his driving hours won't allow for it so if he did it would be the middle of the night. His driving time has got to be close to done now, probably another hour or two. If he takes his required time off then he wouldn't be able to start again until later tonight and I'm guessing he'd only be 8-10 hours from his next drop. So he'll probably drive through the night again....gonna totally mess up his normal sleep time.

Samking: Town Maintenance; Construction Worker; Horse Trainer and Trail Guide

I see you Luke's Mom! Hello, come on in!

Jessica,

We need your interests as well unless you just want to be a visitor. :P

morganb Newbie

So I looked and saw who was on, and it said morganb, carlab, andreab, and luke'smom....we could all be related. (by the way, I have a brother named Luke) It just made me giggle :lol: and I wanted to share

      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.

      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.

      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. 
    • trents
      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.
    • hmkr
      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!
