Rachelville 2


Rachel--24

Recommended Posts

I was SOO excited when I saw this thread! I've been posting on the "OMG" thread for what...maybe 2 or 3 weeks now? I'm not sure. So I considered myself a new resident :) So I'll fill out an application...

Are you gluten free? Why of course! I am also free of many other foods, just like Rachel :) Because we're allergic to...well...everything. But it's a good thing. Because one day we'll end up being the healthiest people ON THE EARTH!

Do you promise to never infiltrate Rachelville with gluteney foods? Of course I promise!

Do you promise to never bring gigantic Auxigro ridden produce into R-Ville? I goodness, I wouldn't even think of it!

Hmm...since I've hung around Rachelville for a while now....may I have a job?

que interestante................

I am rooting for the giants with all my heart, i am a MAJOR giants fan....... like really really obsesed, but I cant watch the game tonight (or most of it) cause it is one of my really good friends Indina singing and Dance preformance and she has been working for like 10 years on this so it is really important.

YAY! It looks like maybe there's another teen in Rachelville? LoL. I'm 17 years old. And also a HUGE giants fan :) It's weird though, my friends and I all live SO close to the stadium, and they've all been to like a million bazillion games and I've never been :(

Hey Peace....I guess you're now "formally" a resident! :D

Yeah....in Rachelville you get to pick your job.....whatever you wanna be...its yours. Oh....and in Rachelville we're not really sick. ;)

We get to eat whatever we want....'cept gluten of course. :)

We grow everything ourselves so we dont worry about pesticides or antibiotics in our dairy products or Auxigro in our veggies. So yeah....we get to eat more stuff. :D

OMG....you have to go to a game!! Last year I was lucky enough to go to opening day....I LOVED it! I've been to lots of games at the new park but that was my first time going to opening day. Maybe this season you can catch a game with one of your friends??

Last time I brought my own food. :)

I always bring my own when I venture out of Rachelville. :P

Yay! Rachelville sounds like HEAVENville. LoL. Hmmm...I get to pick my own job you say? Welllll...perhaps I could be....hmmm...Rachelville's litter police? Absolutely no littering in Rachelville. Rachelville is nearly perfect, so it must be spic and span! *17 year old hippie here*

I know...I've been DYING to go to a giants game. But Im so sad...no more JT Snow :( He was my absolute favorite.

I always bring my food everywhere too! Most of my stuff has to be cooked so im always bringing the same thing with me...people think that gluten free turkey slices and rice cakes are all I ever eat!

AndreaB Contributor

Peace,

Welcome to Rachelville! :D

Just add your preferred job to your sig (if you want) and it's yours. I'm not keeping the official list anymore since it takes up sooooo much space.

:lol::lol:

Too funny!

Yeah....you're in charge of litter. :P

We have a couple of bums in Rachelville so they'll probably keep you on your toes! :lol:

But yeah....excellent idea....Rachelville shouldnt have litter....its a "pristine" environment. :D

I've been DYING to go to a giants game. But Im so sad...no more JT Snow :( He was my absolute favorite.

OMG...besides reacting to all foods on the planet....we have even MORE in common!! :o

JT Snow was favorite too!! B)

BOO-HOO for no more JT Snow. :(

Good to see teens in rachelville - it will help us old farts stay young. I had to laugh and give my boy a hug the other day... we wre discussing age and I said I was proud to be 45..my son gave me cute look and replied : but remember mom you are really 35! I had forgotten that when I turned 40 and few birthdays after that..... I told him that when you turn 40 the birthdays go backwards so the following year I would be 39. Gotta love him for remembering my "new math".

Kathryn's appt is March 20, will update all of you then...

Matt also had 2 basketball games today - good attitude as he said: We lost really bad the first game but did better the next game - we only lost 36 to 7... :lol:

Will look forward to updates from Kathryn's appointment in March.

Great attitude your son has. Now if everyone could have that attitude and just have fun. :P

Yay I'm so glad the Rachelville thread resurfaced. It's such a happy place :)...and I miss the auxigro detecting geese lol. Now we need some sort of new creature that protects against candida...or something...i dunno lol.

LOL!!

Yeah...the "yeasties" snuck in while we were busy protecting ourselves from ants and stuff. :blink:

Candida is definately not welcome here...Rachelville must be fungi-free!!

Apparantly gluten-free wasnt enough....we must be fungi-free as well! Sheeeeesh...is there no end to the perils we deal with? :rolleyes:

I wonder what type of creature would be best for this job?? :unsure:

AndreaB Contributor

Yep, we need to get our fun, sense of humor and relaxing in here.

I don't have a clue what kind of creature could be used to keep the fungi away.

I would vote for the truffle hunting pigs. They root it out, dig it up and then when we can have it packaged and sent out of Racjelville for like $100 a pound because the rest of the world seems to like fungi.

Or we could hire "The Yeastie Boys" to sing them away. :P

Mango- It's so nice to "see" you! You look beautiful in your new avatar!

LMAO!!

Bev, I love that!! :lol:

They could sing "Bad Fungi....that Funky Fungi" all throughout Rachelville!!

I think we could also use the truffle hunting pigs.....and yeah....we'll sell the funky fungi to the people who like that sort of thing. :P

Are there really people out there who like fungi?? :unsure:

I still see "gluteny" batfish??? :huh:

By the way....Meredith...is that a piece of bread floating near the fish?? :lol:

Were the fish eating it....is that why they were gluteny??

AndreaB Contributor

I love M's new avatar as well.

Those truffle hunting pigs are a good idea Bev. :)

I'm not the queen of conversation so rely on everyone else to post so I can comment. :P In between cutting down on computer time.

haha thanks...the gluteny batfish were just causing too much confusion :lol:

Yay someone gets it haha. Yeah everyone started throwing bread in the water to attract more fish. I found myself feeling sorry for the fish :ph34r:

:lol:

Poor little fishies. I could see you wanting to save them from the evil gluten....without making yourself look totally psycho amongst all the gluten-eaters. :lol:

Yeah...some people just dont "get it"......throwing poison at innocent fish. <_<

I'm guessing the fish were eating the bread??

Stupid addicting gluten. :angry:

It was quite the dilemma. I did want to save them. :lol: Unfortunately, I was going to be stuck on a really small sailboat with the 16 other gluten-eaters for three more days :o, so I was forced to stand there helplessly and watch the poor fish eat bread :(

OMG I just noticed we have a "wrap in quote tags" button now. How fun. Has that always been there? I've been doing it the old fashioned way all this time.

Hmmm.....I think it was always there. I think it might have *looked* different though?? :unsure:

I dunno....I already forgot how things were before we got so "advanced". :P

I still dont know what half the stuff means. :ph34r:

AndreaB Contributor

You used to have to hit quote at the beginning and ending of the quote I believe.

Now you can just hit the wrap in quote button and paste your message in between them. :)

Poor fish. :(

Mango04 Enthusiast

So I'm really dumb. I've always spelled out the word "quote" and added all the little symbols and such.

Okay so anyway...we have pigs now. :) Candida detecting pigs. Or anti-candida pigs of some sort. Wow I'm really procrastinating today :ph34r::rolleyes:

Are there really people out there who like fungi??

In OZ there's this pasta sauce they sell in the "health food" section called Fungi Sauce. Eww. They should really just say "mushroom" or something. I'm assuming that's what it was anyway :huh:

Woah....no wonder you're so excited about the new quote button! :lol::lol:

sorry but I had to laugh...and yeah...I'm still laughing! :lol:

I think I just hit reply and the stuff was already quoted and I just deleted whatever text I didnt want. I thought thats how everyone quoted?? :huh:

      @ABP2025, Here's some studies and articles that will help you learn more about thiamin and all... I will write more later. It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-testing-understanding-labs/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ and...

      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
