:lol::lol::lol:

I love it.

Evie, I don't ever plan on getting bored either. I've always got some sort of project on the go. Right now I am painting all all floors to look like fake interesting wood. I had to wait till inspiration struck at Home Depot when I saw two gallons of mistints. One was orange and the other fuscia and my husband thought I was crazy but he trusts me and with the aid of glazes over top of the design it does almost look like wood and has this warm glow. Now if I could just getted motivated to do more floors, I've only done the living room.

Oh, Susan you must bring some to Stanford. I have an idea, you set a price and all of us in Rachelville will buy a bracelet or bracelets from you and we will all be connected through that! Someone think of a name!

Oh, how much fun is this! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Sally - - OMG - -what an idea - - so you're going to Stanford too, for sure!? Yay!! Wish all of the Silly Yaks in our cult farm could go - - but we'd probably get kicked out for laughing too much....(I am goign to behave at this event ;))

Ideas everyone, for our bracelets....I think GFPCF is too obscure, people would ask, and um, then we'd have to explain....and they'd lock us away..... :o

the crocheting, Donna and Evie - 200 scarves! now that is something.....

yes, so much to do, not enough time!! :blink:

Hey Donna I just bought a bead book @ a yard sale but no directions. Do you buy beads and wire separetly?

I think I might be interested i n doing that myself. maybe you are into it enuf you can get them wholesale/

do you take them to flea markets or taKE ONLINE ORDERS OR?? or maybe 000 of my beezwax?

i used to know a lady who made them up & took to Branson, Mo. to sell. she ddi ok but not all of her income.

\Isn't this a great group here? evie :) I like short necklaces!! :lol:

:) I've only just started, so not too much experience yet, lol. I did buy the wire and beads separately, and since I just wanted to play, I also bought the elastic plastic "thread" and used that for the ones I made this weekend. My co-worker beads, so this morning she showed me how to use a crimp bead, so maybe this coming weekend I'll try a clasp closure. I don't know if I'll ever sell them, but I'm having fun making them. :D

Okay, I was trying to quote evie, but the darned servers said I talk to much! :lol:

That's the neat thing about these bracelets...they really only took about 30 minutes to string. I can do some here and there. I do not plan to get bored (any more than I already am, lol) either. I happen to like rocking chairs, but mine will be turbo. :lol:

My friend showed me how to crochet on a cruise last year...have I mentioned that I have 200 scarves in every color imaginable. :lol:

You should start making afghans. they're just like scarves, but bigger. I learned how to make them first, then scarves. :ph34r:

Susan, the caption under your picture is sooo funny. She even looks fat and sassy. :D

she is SO fat, I'm trying to make her lose weight, my friends are cracking up at her as her head appears to be SHRINKING.....so when she eats 3/4 of a bag of Lay's, and some NUGGETS, mommy is NOT pleased!! (and mommy had better hide her snacks more carefully :ph34r: )

Jeny - your boy is so cute! :)

Good afternoon everyone here in beautiful and peaceful Rachelville!

Spinach Happens! :lol::lol:

evie- love your new cat woman picture!

rinne- congratulations on your crackers, they sound interesting

Susan- I love your new picture of one of the girls, Annie or Tika?? I have absolutely fallen in love with our dingo dogs, I want to dingosit with them :lol: What breed are they, I don't know if you ever said. Would love to see pictures of your jewelry creations.

Rachel- I am thriled that you are able to eat nuts too! For me it has been a life saver becasue they do fill me up and get me throught the day, otherwise my few fruits and vegetables, meats, and a little starch just left me hungry all the time.

The irony of you working the dairy department and candy aisle :lol:

Donna and Jeny- I want to learn how to knit. I think its fabulous that you guys make scarves and afghans. I also want to learn how to sew.

So many of us are so creative here in Rachelville!

For all of you going to the Celiac conference in Cali, you have to take pictures all together for those of us who aren't going.

Hey, In Rachelville, can we have corn shuckers (yes, shuckers :) ) I've go six dozen corn on the cob to put up. Shuck, blanch, cool, cut and cream and freeze....an all day event.

It's spinach when you're doing it, but on a cold winter night...it's soooo good.

Can we get the bum on the outskirts of town (forget who that is) to be the town shucker. :lol:

Oh Cissie, our venerable Raconteur, what a memory. Oh dear NO, not interested in that one, just a fellow Celiac I conversed with at church one day. will teach me to bring up any male I meet, EVER, Celiac or no.... :o Waiting for Mango and the Aussies... .. ;) Or, the Celiac professor I'll meet at Stanford?? :rolleyes:

seriously, not looking, just getting healthy in every way. Takes a while, doesn't it?

Julie, nice to see you! We'll absolutely take photos at the Stanford conference, and come back with much information and many tales, I am sure!

Karen, great web page, thanks for that.

Question to the technoids.......

Karen, can you take one of the wedding pict I sent you and put it on my avitar. I am sooo tech challenged. Don't even know know to put a dig pict on the computer. Is it possible for someone else to do it for me.

Even if someone told me how to do it, the brain would not connect. :ph34r:

Holy cow! shucking and creaming corn....in what century are you living and are you Mennonite? ;) Just kidding, I shuck the corn all the time, never in that quantity, but have never creamed it. What is the deal with that? And do you eat it, or use it in stuff?? How do you eat it? uh, have never had creamed corn, have only seen it...please inform. I want some!

Tavi - - she can be the corn shucker.... :lol::lol::lol:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .
