I missed it. Have to share the computer with Mitch and I'm missing out on the fun. :P

Dave,

Very pretty. Aaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

They are adorable! :P

TheDave Newbie

Should've taken a nice big sweaty picture from last night of you and posted it for everyone's viewing pleasure....

BTW, I sucked at rock climbing! Rachel went to the top (60') the first try...then again....and again....sucker!

AndreaB Contributor

Why do I think it would have been a good picture. For some reason I think that Rachel is very photogenic.

Rachel....

Rachel--24 Collaborator
It doesn't come off as purple though on the computer screen, at least on my computer screen, maybe more lavenderish.

Yeah...the dress is lavendar....its all purple to me though. :lol:

Looks like you are concentrating on not tripping and falling walking in your heels, am I right??

OMG...you are soooo right. :lol::lol:

I was concentrating the whole way down...plus I was all stressed out with everyone staring. :ph34r:

You did not suck. Dave wasnt trusting me very much....he wasnt having faith in my belaying skills. :rolleyes:

Haha...the first time I belayed him...as he was coming down...I was going up. :lol::lol::lol:

I was too light to belay him. They had to weigh me down. :lol:

I'm too small to belay anyone...except maybe a 12 year old. :(

Yeah...I was climbing!!! I think it was cuz I climbed alot as a kid. I climbed trees, roofs, fences, walls...whatever. I used to always go to the school on the weekends and climb onto a tree and jump onto the roof and find all the cool rubbery balls the kids had gotten stuck on the roof. All kinds of good stuff up there for me to find. :D

I was a bad kid...always adventurous...up to no good. :ph34r:

AndreaB Contributor

Adventerous doesn't always mean up to no good.

Now Dave seems to always be up to no good.....at least here. :P

Do you two plan a repeat performance at the rock wall? Sounds like you had a lot of fun.

Rachel--24 Collaborator
And yes, the first thing I did, was look and see if I could see the toilet LOL.

:lol::lol:

There is no toilet in this pic. I was walking down the aisle in this pic....if there were a toilet anywhere in sight I'm thinking it would NOT be a good place for a wedding. :lol::lol:

I'll post the toilet pic another day. ;)

Yeah...we have to go back so we can get certified. I dont know when we'll go though...I wanna climb again...its pretty challenging. You kind of have to plan your moves as you go. They have different levels. I worked my way up to one of the harder climbs and I made it to the top!!! :D

I was proud of myself. Sheeesh it was only a little more than a year ago that I couldnt even walk up or down the stairs in my house....now I'm climbing 60 feet walls! One had a little cliff on it...so I had to climb a little out and under the cliff and then back up....way cool! It was only a little cliff though...I wanna try harder stuff next time. The lady that trained us said this place is the biggest rock climbing gym in the world. It was really cool how they have it set up.

Thanks Bev.

Dave was up to his antics again. He somehow "stole" my old avatar and was using it as his own. :o

Kinda freaked me out at first but he fixed it and now he's got his cute puppies up. :)

how hard/easy is it to add a photo?

It's quite easy. If you have a photo on your computer, just click on "edit avatar" and use your browse button to insert the photo there. If the photo is too large, then go to:

Open Original Shared Link

to adjust the size to fit within the avatar limits.....

Drive-by - No time to catch-up on everything, two year about to get up.

I am not gluten-free. Doctor's orders until my tests are done. It stinks -- brain fog does not help in my profession. The d I can live with -- what is a couple of months after several years. Two biopsies reveal celiac disease related stuff, first was some sort of stain showed sprue, second revealed athropy of the villi (mind you within four months). I may have tropical sprue (wipples diease), or a myriad of other issues. But no science here.

I like everyone's new pictures.

Donna for your trip to Disneyworld come on down! We have a house there that when we arent using it we rent it out. I would give any fellow celiacs a HUGE discount!

Wow, thanks...I'll keep that in mind! My friend is always wanting to travel, so that wouldn't be a problem, but SHE eats gluten so wouldn't want to bring her into your home, lol.

OK..put up the first pic...me and my lavander dress at my Moms wedding. You cant see my shoes though...they got cut off. I will try to make the pic more clear later.

How do I write something under my pic??

WAAAHHHHH!!!!! I missed the pictures...I'm going to have to STOP going to bed at 8:00. :lol:

Rachel, what a wonderful picture. I knew you were already pretty, but you look so feminine in this pic. I also wear many baseball caps, but still like to dress up on occasion. You should do it more often. Now I want to see the new sundress you bought a few weeks ago

Okay, forget my last post...I hit refresh and now see the new picture...I agree, it's wonderful!

Drive by.....

<--------- Am I pretty or what? :lol:

Pretty is not exactly the word I would use. :lol:

Thanks for all the welcomes! Now things I want to do now that I am well...

-go back to Italy/Greece/Croatia

-see Grand Canyon (stole that idea from someone on here) :)

-go to a NASCAR race

-go back to visit San Diego

-take a cruise

-go to Florida (heading there in October, parents just bought a vacation house for us)

-go to Disney (falls under Florida, but I am a huge Disney fan)

That is all I can think of now. I am sure there is more.. I will add as I come up with them

We are going to the Bristol race this coming weekend! I can't wait!

Donna for your trip to Disneyworld come on down! We have a house there that when we arent using it we rent it out. I would give any fellow celiacs a HUGE discount!

Where is the house located?

We decided to switch plans for tomorrow and go miniature golfing instead.

Just too long of a drive and probabl not enough sleep for the baby boy. He hasn't ad decent naps today which doesn't help.

Don't forget Rachelville has a mini golf.

OK..put up the first pic...me and my lavander dress at my Moms wedding. You cant see my shoes though...they got cut off. I will try to make the pic more clear later.

How do I write something under my pic??

I missed it!

Hey, I went drag racing last night & got runner up!

I'm quoting myself! :lol: Not only do I have to STOP going to bed at 8:00, I may have to quite premature posting...after this I noticed the discussion on how TheDave stole Rachel's picture...um, the only picture I saw were the cute puppies...so Rachel, I wasn't talking about you when I wrote this comment. :lol:

      Interesting you mention MCAS. I have come across mcas before but I wasn’t entirely sure if that’s what it was. When I eat certain food like dairy or soy my face gets so hot and I feel flush and my heart rate shoot’s up. And sometimes my bottom lip swells or I get hives somewhere. This started happening after I had a really bad case of Covid.  Before that I was able to eat all those things (minus gluten) I was diagnosed with celiac way before I had Covid.  Hmm, not sure really. I may look for a different allergist my current one told me to take Zyrtec and gave me an epi pen.

      This is all really useful information, thank you so much to you both.    I have a history of B12 and vit D deficiency which has always just been treated and then ignored until it’s now again.

      Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8! There are two main genes that have been identified as creating potential for developing celiac disease, HLDQ2 and HLDQ8. Your daughter has one of them. So, she possesses genetic the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population carries one or both of these genes but only about 1% of the general population develops celiac disease. It takes both the genetic potential and some kind of triggering stress factor (e.g., a viral infection or another prolonged health problem or an environmental factor) to "turn on" the gene or genes. Unfortunately, your daughter's doctor ordered a very minimal celiac antibody panel, the tTG-IGA and total IGA. Total IGA is not even a test per celiac disease per se but is a check for IGA deficiency. If the person being checked for celiac disease is IGA deficient, then the scores for individual IGA tests (such as the tTG-IGA) will be abnormally low and false negatives can often be the result. However, your daughter's total IGA score shows she is not IGA deficient. You should consider asking our physician for a more complete celiac panel including DGP-IGA, TTG_IGG and DGP-IGG. If she had been avoiding gluten that can also create false negative test results as valid antibody testing requires having been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks leading up to the blood draw. Do you know if the GI doc who did the upper GI took biopsies of the duodenum and the duodenum bulb to check for the damage to the small bowel lining caused by celiac disease? Having said all that, her standard blood work shows evidence of possible celiac disease because of an elevated liver enzyme (Alkaline Phosphatase) and low values for hemoglobin.

      Hi everyone  After years of stomach issues being ignored by doctors, my 9 y/o daughter finally had an upper endoscopy which showed a ton of stomach inflammation. The GI doctor ordered some bloodwork and I’m attaching the results here. Part will be from the CBC and the other is celiac specific. I’m not sure what’s relevant so I’m just including extra information just in case.   The results are confusing because they say “No serological evidence of celiac disease. tTG IgA may normalize in individuals with celiac disease who maintain a gluten-free diet. Consider HLA DQ2 and DQ8 testing to rule out celiac disease.” But just a few lines down, it says DQ2 positive. Can someone help make sense of this? Thanks so much.  result images here: https://ibb.co/WFkF0fm https://ibb.co/kHvX7pC https://ibb.co/crhYp2h https://ibb.co/fGYFygQ

      Those are great points and some follow up thoughts and ideas. I think you're both stating the same thing in two different ways, but I appreciate the "accuracy" of what you're getting to.   1. Are you both stating that the "too salty of a taste" could be triggered by a histamine reaction, and the flavor is coming from the electrolytes? If that is the case, wouldn't the individuals mouth always be salty during a "Glutening" situation, or are we saying that the person could get "use to the flavor" until introducing food or beverage and that could be enough to "stir the pot" and notice the salty flavor? 2. To push back on "#1": If that were true anyone with issues of histamine releasing foods/treatments would experience the same thing. Also, I did not experience a situation where most beverages were "too salty". Thoughts?
