Yes, Thank you, Donna--gauchos. I was trying to think of the word to tell Andrea. I bought a pair of wide-legged capri pants this summer--I don't know why they weren't just called gauchos because that's what they look like! Very comfortable. My summer 'uniform' is a t-shirt or sleeveless top, capri pants and Birkenstocks. That's how I'm the most comfortable :D I guess I'll live in the ho-hum section of Rachelville--kind of in the middle of town.....

Update on my water challenge! Doing really well so far. I think I am on to something with this. Whether the filter uses wheat or coconut--for me it dosen't matter--I'm sensitive to both. I hope it keeps up, though--I've had a lot of good false starts before :unsure:

we will have our own well in the commune....perfect water all the time and no filters!

Patti you won't have to live in the ho-hum section because there won't be one! :rolleyes:

Celia--There were a lot of small cracks and holes from taking down pictures and stuff to fill. It's a pretty big room with a bath room and they both have cathedral ceilings. Since we're painting everything from the ceilings down, my husband wants to go thru and make the walls perfect before we paint. He's doing this part all by himself--I'm not in the room at all. When it settles, I'll vaccum and get rid of the bag. I'm also sleeping in the guest room tonight to be safe. Wouldn't it be funny if this spackle had no wheat in it? I don't know (not listed) so I'm playing it safe ;) I actually like to paint--I edge and he rolls :D

Our town definately has to have a fresh water spring!

I love the idea of a fresh water spring....those are extemely hard to come by if the land around them even exists anymore.

I we have sections, we'd be in the double ho-hum side according to most of you.

Patti,

I prefer to roll and my hubby does great with the edging. I always get paint on the ceiling or edging where it's not supposed to be. :huh:

Hubby's comment: I agree but is sure does give the room character. :P

As long as you're dressed. :P That's Rachelville's rules.

I do wear dresses and skirts BTW and I dress modestly when I'm out. If you're more comfortable in other things I'm not going to knock you for it (as long as your dressed). I'm definately not into nudist colonies...do those things even still exist? We all need to live with our conscience and try not to offend others at the same time...a delicate balance to say the least.

LMAO!!

all of a sudden I've become a hippie nudist?? :lol::lol:

Hehe...I'm definately neither one of those! Remember...I did say I love clothes! Just not the long dresses and bonnets. <_<

They look good on the Mennonites I see at the grocery store....but cant see myself ever wearing anything like that. :blink:

I'll stick to my ballcaps and overalls. ;)

We need to live where there is a quality doctor, just in case I get pneumonia again - he he. Can I have my wine cooler in the kitchen. Don't drink it often enough and it stays forever in the cooler.

Did I say that?! :lol::lol: No I'm not Urkel either. :lol:

I've always thought the mennonites dress looked neat and tidy.

So let see, I can send you shopping for me right? I hate shopping, unless I can shop online. :o I know, so unlike a girl to not like shopping, but I'm sure you'll recover from the shock. :blink::lol:

My husband and I love to take day/weekend trips to Lancaser, Pa. It is such beautiful country, and a lot of Mennonites and Amish people live there. Their farms are so picturesque--it looks like a painting!

OMG....this is sooo how I picture it in my head!! Well...probably cause thats what I recall it looking like on TV. :ph34r:

I love shopping...can we have our farm within a couple of hours of a shopping mall, lol. :lol:

:lol:

See....now this is where I'm torn. <_< I want the picturesque landscape with the green hills, flowers, and serenity... but then we HAVE to have the mall right on the other side of the hill or I might die!! :o

Husband (Mitch) narration following:

If you are fortunate enough to live on a farm with a shopping mall in the not to far distance, that would be the ideal thing. You could either have someone else do your shopping or do it yourself. This works well especially around birthdays and christmas. In other words if you have someone else do your shopping it'd be like farming out that task. Or if you do it yourself, you'd be farming out the gifts. So you see, farming and shopping have a lot in common. :wacko:

My add on:

Mitch drives semi so he can haul back all the stuff you buy. :lol:

Mitch's addon: Say...it sounds like farming, shopping and truck driving all have something in common. :lol:

go to the "it's official we don't need men any more" thread - - - they are looking for a single fabulous Celiac doctor for me.....I will accept that but would prefer the man to be a single fabulous VETERINARIAN - - maybe we can find both.... :lol:

Yah, maybe if it's a big hill we won't see the mall and people won't try to infiltrate our cult farm with glutenous thoughts and we can still get our shopping fixes.

Hum, alcohol, well I don't drink much anymore...I'm a cheap date...half a glass and I'm tipsy...we'd better have a "drunk shack" somewhere on the property. :lol:

I also hate shopping but there must a good nursery, a Target and a Marshall's or TJ Maxx within 45 minutes, and we won't need to shop for food as we will have an entire team of celiac chefs to not only cook the food but forage for it and BRING it in for us :rolleyes:

We'll have computers so we can shop online for everything :)

Getting back to the Amish/Mennonite thing--there's also the Bruderhof (the brotherhood)--a group similar to Mennonites located close to Pittsburgh. They also dress very conservatively, and they seem to place high value on education and the Arts. Many of them take violin lessons (and probably other instruments), and I see them come to Symphony Concerts when we play in their area. The children are always extremely well-behaved, and the older children behave very kindly and responsibly toward the younger children.

I used to have this sort of fantasy about taking my family and staying with one of these groups for a summer to help them with their work in exchange for room and board. I like their work ethic and would love to teach my children about what hard work and self-sufficiency is really like!

Problem #1: We are Jewish, and they may dislike that.

Problem #2: The Amish would certainly not want me visiting them, at least with my violin, as singing hymns is the only music allowed (playing musical instruments is not, it's considered fancy).

Problem #3: Gluten...unless there is a celiac family we could stay with!

But just imagine the life lessons one could learn...

Andrea--your Mitch is a hoot! I think he'd get along great with my husband. Actually sounds like something Mark would have said :D So your husband drives a semi? My older son drives for a national trucking company (not a semi, though) My husband works for the same company--but in the office here in South Jersey.

It's hard to find someone with a sense of humor like Mitch's :P . Mitch's reply...at least I drive a semi and not the good humor trucks. My reply...He drives flatbed locally but it's anywhere from 8-16 hour days. Maybe being on the road all by himself contributes to his sense of humor. We had a church member that has since moved that was right in with him...like two peas in a pod. He was actually best man at our wedding. Mitch's reply...That pea thing, that confirms that farming and trucking have something in common. :lol:

Yeah...we defintaley cant have glutenous thoughts invading our nice gluten free, corn free , msg free, sulfite free, casein free cult farm!! :lol:

Too much civilization and you never know what could happen. We'll have to keep our cows on leashes or they might wander over to the mall where some teenager may decide it would be great fun to tip them!! Or even worse....feed them gluteney foods!! :o

My dad once threw a knife salesman off our front porch...not nearly as exciting as throwing a rock star off the front porch, but it was all we had, lol. :lol:

I'm so moving to the cult farm when I get back from Australia :lol:. I'm not milking any cows, but I guess I'll expose myself to the dangers of the other side of the hill, at least once in a while, to do the shopping...

What a diverse group we have here.... it's so wonderful :) We have all different nationalities, come from all different cultures have different spiritual beliefs and we all get along so well. Most of all we all care about each other.... I'm so proud of us :)

I think it was Ursla that pointed it out a while ago, all of us have gone trhough medical heck to get here, and that serves to bind us as a family.....

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
