Rachel--24

Recommended Posts

Camille'sBigSister Newbie

Listen, y'all, I'm seriously concerned about Rachel!!! I just PMed her, but it's very early in the morning in California, so I don't expect an answer any time soon. I checked back, and her last post on this string was Tuesday night, August 1st, page 276, post #4128.

There was small earthquake near San Fransico day before yesterday. Perhaps, it's a power thing?

Hope she's well. L

I just heard about that this AM on the news--that could be it. I, too, hope all is well.

Does anyone have her phone number? It's not that early here in California, I haven't heard anything about an earthquake although I don't watch the news much, if it was so big as to knock the power off in San Francisco I probably would know.

Wish we had a way to get ahold of each other.

I have not heard form Rachel either, this is not like her at all to go this long without posting or contacting someone.

I'm concerned maybe she got really sick, or maybe something is going on in her personal life.

I thought about her computer maybe acting up, but she could always use the one at work.

I haven't heard anything about an earthquake - they happen all the time, and my best friend in San Jose would have told me about it if it was anything significant - if it was big enough that the power went out, we'd have heard about it.

Not like Rachel at all, and yes, she loves us, she would FIND another computer and send us a note, I am sure! I mean, she is the founder and president......I am concerned, I guess no one has her phone number? Even if she were not well, just really lousy and sick, you now she would post.

Gosh - I am really concerned....we don't know her last name - does anyone? - she lives in Manteca, or is that her mom's house? - and works in San Francisco, I think, that's all I know...

Hi Tavi - no! no more cheating! Glad you are better and back with us.

Nice to see everyone - - R-ville seems to be slowing down....oh dear.....

I am now going to begin painting 2/3 of my house and then rip out carpet, acid-stain the cement underneath.....dear God...

where is everybody? come back....... :(

Rikki Tikki Explorer

I am off to my brother's house in Sacramento for the weekend. My niece is going to sing the National Anthem at the River Cats game tonight. How exciting! :D So don't worry about me folks. I will try to use his computer but he usually has sites blocked to keep his kids from going places :blink:

Have a great weekend my fellow rachelites.

And Lynne have a great time at the wedding :D

Tavi - - have a great time! :) Give us an update when you can....and no Krispy Kremes!

Camille'sBigSister Newbie

Doesn't Rachel live at her mother's during the week? I think she said she works at a Buy Rite store there, and only goes back to her own house on weekends. So she would have been at her mother's the last time she posted. I'm not sure about the Buy Rite, though I know it is a grocery store.

I just went to the Members file. Her last post was on Wednesday at 7:45 AM, August 2nd. It didn't say on what forum topic.

I've been playing with my page on Myspace for the last few days. I've been finding a lot of my cousins and friends from school. I was shocked when I got on here and there was 1/2 page since yesterday afternoon. :ph34r::huh: hmmm....

I'm worried about our President too. Where could she be? Hopefully the bushes she cut didn't get their revenge.

Susan I wish I could rip out my carpet and paint. I hate living in military housing!!!!

Well I have things to do. Talk to you guys later.

Camille'sBigSister Newbie

Rachel works at a Safeway. I found that info on one of the first posts on this thread, on page 7.

Now I'm going to see if I can find where she said her mother lives.

Good luck Cissie the slueth!! :huh: I too am concerned about Rachel, Rachelville is sliding downhill fast without its president! :angry: I had A bad NIGHT but better today?? :( Went special food hunting, long drive and did too much junk food eating so could not sleep last night. Went back to bed @ 4am after reading 2 more chapters of Dana Korn's book & taking a bunch of benedryl, charcoal & etc. Caught up sleep & woke

@ 40:30am!!! :huh: to my Dr. today, get my achy joints fixed and ?? Have good day all and find Rachel, not like her to not be on daily!! :) evie

I *think* that Donna lives in Rachel's general area. When was the last time Donna checked in?

I am hoping that Rachel is having a wonderful time and is thinking we know she has true ice cream vitality :) but I admit I am a little bit worried. I think we must collectively wish for Rachel to post and let us know how she is doing. Do you know the expression, "the long body"? It means the ways in which we are connected that we do not know but sometimes encounter, like reaching for the phone to call a friend and the phone ringing and it being them, or our resident twins who keep saying the same thing at the same time :) So Rachel, give us a ring, we miss you. :)

I know exactly what you mean, although I've never heard that expression. Rachel, check in!!! Meanwhile, Andrea and I will continue searching.

Evie, I'm sending a prayer for you to FEEL MUCH BETTER - NOW!

Patti, thanks. I'll see if I can reach her, but I think she's at work now.

Everybody must be pm'ing Rachel--her mailbox is full! Hopefully she'll check in soon....

Patti, I checked back, and found that Donna's last post on here was Wednesday morning at 9:47 AM, August 2nd.

Who mentioned the earthquake? Maybe Rachel and Donna are both without power.

Donna was online this morning but I missed her.

dlp252 Apprentice

I'm still here, just reading mostly. My order of beads came today so I've been playing with them, lol. I was thinking Rachel is probably just taking a break for a couple of days, or her mom's computer is in use. I've been having some problems with mine at home, so haven't even bothered turning it on for a couple of days. I think I got the problems straightened out though. I thought I saw Rachel online (not today though) more recently than Wednesday morning but don't think she posted anywhere.

I didn't even hear about the earthquake so it couldn't have been bad enough for power outages. I don't remember hearing anything on the news about power outages in this area either from earthquake or other reasons.

jerseyangel Proficient

Donna--I'm glad to hear that you're ok and everything! Have fun with your beads :D

rinne Apprentice

I'm around, so glad to hear that the storm has broken up Cecile, now if Rachel would check in.... :)

jerseyangel Proficient

Hi Celia--I've missed you, too! :D

I'm around tonight--and all weekend. My husband and son are going to a car show in PA, and the weather is just too hot for me, so I'm staying home.

We did get the painting done, finally! The room is all back together, and I'm so happy with the way it turned out. I'll take some pictures and as soon as we get them on the computer, I'll email them to you.

How has everything been with you? Sorry to hear of your finger and hand stiffness. Sounds painful :( Glad that the storm is breaking up. Good news.

jerseyangel Proficient

I agree! What is happening to life as we know it???

Where is everybody else?

(Sound) Crickets.....

DingoGirl Enthusiast
And... am I the ONLY one on here on a Friday night? Good gawwwddd :lol:

I'll have to sit here and entertain myself... :lol: it's fun... I can make myself laugh :o:lol:

:lol::lol::lol: Yes, I bet you CAN make yourself laugh, you silly dingbat....

Patti, good for you on the room! it's so exhausting...I am getting estimate on someone ELSE (not my brother and friends) ripping out and disposing of the carpet...zoigs.....quite a job and me with a permanently injured arm from the couch accident of three months ago.... :angry: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

Yes, our town is quiet....do you think our President just got sick of us? :huh: Or did she crack under the pressure of a whole TOWN being formed and named after her? :( Say it ain't so, she loves her R-villians!

The dingos....currently they are passed out as they saw their two boyfriends today and had quite a romp (phew - stinky and they are having a bath soon - - mud bog filth)....but, they will quickly muster themselves to dispatch and find our Rachel, do not fear!

I nominate Cissie to call every safeway and look for Rachel......just describe her and, how old is she? maybe she doesn't wear her visor to work every day, though....

RACHEL, WHERE ARE YOU????? We are worried, send a sign, a smoke signal, give a shout-out....

Cecile, so glad the current storm is breaking up.

gotta go - am custom-mixing the paint how, all the gallons and quarts in the five-gallon drum......very exciting as one never knows what one will get in these instances....but it's usually perfect, every time... :rolleyes:

crickets......tumbleweeds blowing through town - - remember that Tavi is not here to monitor those.....

AndreaB Contributor

Patti, Susan, Cecile,

It's good that you are all here. Figured I'd wait until Monday before trying to figure out a way to track down Rachel. There are a gazillion Safeway's in California and I'm not sure what area she works in. I'm hoping she just wasn't able to use the computer at her mom's for whatever reason and that she'll check in with us this weekend. Even if she was out having fun, she'd still be online once in awhile I would think.

I'll be checking in all weekend.

BTW....Mitch just got back from his appointment and is going to have to have surgery for the fissure. It won't be until September 13th. He will need to take Wed-Fri off from work and doesn't get sick time. He also doesn't have vacation...but it will be nice to have him home and he will be home for my birthday. I assume he'll still be able to eat. Hopefully he won't be on a liquid diet, hadn't thought of that before. I guess we'll find out more at the pre-op appointment when he has that.

Cecile,

Isn't there anything at that restaurant that won't make you sick. Can you take something to munch on and order a simple salad or something? I don't want you to get sick. :(

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
    • trents
      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
