I'd suggest telling him you're not really ready to date right now, but seeing that he's an old friend, you'd love to get together with him. You are open to the possibility of it becoming something more, later. This way, you can develop your friendship, he can get to know your issues (celiac, non-drinking, etc.) and you can get to know his without dating getting in the way. If you decide in the end to date, you have a great friendship to build on. If you decide not to, you have a friend.

If he dated you 2 1/2 years ago and had his divorce finalized in January, was he in the middle of the divorce while dating you? Or did he meet, marry and divorce someone in that short time? I'd proceed with caution ... friends sound good for both of you for the time being.

Excellent, Carla. And Andrea, how I love your calm voice of MOther Hen reasoning also. :) I am SO on a path of health in every way, and NO ONE will dissuade me from my path. My biggest battle currently is with the

NUGGETS

:blink::blink::blink:

I will consider him as a friend, and do th ings on my terms.

Okay, calmer now...whew! Thanks girls!! what would I do without you, and all of you, including the guys....consultations on poop, food, family issues, nuggets, everything! Love surge..... :wub:

Nuggets are a problem that can cause some minor distress compared to drinking again, or gluten for that matter. Positive friends are always welcome. I said adios to my old negative friends years ago and have been much better off for it. Tis better to be alone than in the company of someone who puts people down to build themselves up.

YES! Think of poor Cissie, and shut up for an hour a'ready!!! I'm only on page 326! Y'all were sooo full of spinach last night! :blink:

Cissie

Premature posting but just couldn't let this one go.

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Cissie...I felt the same way last night. I started out more than 10 pages behind and everytime I'd get through a page another would be added. It took me hours to catch up.

OH! BTW - I told said bachelor that I no longer drank, couldn't eat gluten (didn't go into details), had been quite sick, etc. I truly don't think he's looking for any kind of relationship - I think going through his divorce was so stressful that he's quite gun-shy (as am I). He said something like - - you were always quite fun SOBER, and not to worry.

Carla's advice is much more sensible than mine. If I were you, I'd listen to her. Guess my raconteurial memories eclipsed my good sense! :P

Dear Dave (The),

We welcome you with open arms, and you ridicule the ferocity of our geese? I, in my role of Minister of Defense in charge of our miraculous, protective, Auxigro-detecting geese, deem it advisable to caution you thusly: Tiptoe lightly through our Rachelvillian tulips. The geese and I are ordinarily peaceful inhabitants. Don't make us have to hurt you! :ph34r:

Cissie

Yeah Dave....you dont want to mess with Cissie. Mock her geese one more time and she's gonna let you have it. B)

This is very well-said!!!! It is the reason I have not seen my mom, step-father, and sisters for over a year! You just reinforced a decision that was the right one to make and that I have the ocassional doubt about. I just knew I could not get healthy or raise kids with healthy relationships if I continued on ... anyway ... on to something more uplifting.

Pray for me, I'm going to Maggiano's for my daughter's birthday dinner. I had a dream the other night that I ate a pretzel at a party, then started crying because I knew I'd be sick for a week. With feeling so bad for the past two months (well, longer than that, but I was better for a time, then started feeling bad again), I'm really nervous about eating out. I know they do a great job there, and I've never gotten sick there ... I'm just getting paranoid about food I don't make myself. I'll have a great time, I know!

Yes, Esteemed Goofiness! A thousand times yes!!! A beautifully decorated room with padded walls.

Cissie

Ummm...we already have one of those rooms....for you know..anyone that might get a little "wacky". Julie and I decided it was a must for Rachelville in light of recent events. The room is padded and also contains a straightjacket...although I think the straightjacket is currecntly occupied by Miss Karen...until the full moon has passed. ;)

I love music, and find it always makes work of any kind go by faster.

Me too Patti. I cant be without my iPod while I'm working in the morning. It gives me an energy boost or something. I LOVE music...the radio is always on at my house. Gotta have it while I do the yard work too. Makes everything so much more enjoyable. :)

I hate having to go to bed so early, and missing the parties!!! And I used to be such a night owl! ;)

My mind is wandering; I must eat before I go completely round the bend.

Everyone who was sleeping last night- - The Dave is indeed the "Village Idiot" and way too fun to tease :D .

Hmmm, thanks...I guess???

oh yeah- a village idiot- we needed one of those. So maybe when we do things- like eat things we know we shoulden't we can say we pulled a "Dave"

Miamia

Here is an example-

"Rachel often commits a 'dave' when she eats Edward and son crackers"

sorry rachel- no offense- as you know I too have fallen vicitm to these yummy things

Nice to meet you too! You've started a fad!

Great idea, Mia! Now "Dave" will go on the list of "Rachelisms"--right after "spinached" :lol:

So pulling a "Dave" and "spinached" are similar? That's not good...

Dave - I agree equal treatment for all construction workers. :rolleyes:

Finally someone who agrees....you must be a guy! :D

LOVE THE BATMAN REFERENCE!!!!

Of course...he's a classic caped crusader!

Although they shall not be shirtless, lol...we have a pre-established rule about clothing in Rachelville. :lol:

:angry:

Would that be Susan pulling a Chocolate Dave? :lol:

There's a chocolate version of me? hmmm :blink:

Holy Heck! There are dozens of plump, moist, gluten filled banana nut muffins (with cinnamon sprinkled on top) sitting in the break room at work right now...and GET THIS...noone is eating them!!

This is way beyond my comprehension....the things in life that are taken for granted! :rolleyes: Will wonders never cease?

Now...if it were me who could eat these muffins...well you can be damn sure I'd be walking around looking like Donna with crumbs all over my mouth and little puffs of muffin flying out everytime someone speaks to me. :D

I still havent heard anything back about my ultrasound. They said my doc would call in a day or two..its almost been two weeks now. <_<

OMG...."The Dave" is here......he is suppossed to be at WORK! :o

Mr. Dave, was the party a little too much excitement for you last night? Did Rachelville keep you from fulfilling your obligations of the day? Dont worry...I'm holding down the fort for ya. ;)

OH Gaaaaawd...he has become part of the wordage now. :lol::lol:

I wasn't supposed to be at work thank you very much! And I wasn't really here...was on the site but @ Michelle's Store. Thanks for holding down the fort anyhow though!

Now only 88 more pages to catch up on....

Going to try to walk erect now and get the dingos to the orchard - - lots of staring here....

About the staring...I usually get it when I walk erect with dingos too....go figure ;)

I think Queen did "We Are The Champions"--could be wrong, though :huh:

Yep B)

OH HOLY HECK, just got asked out on a DATE, someone from my past, via email....scared....very scared.....deer in the headlights.......hold me...........no no not scared of HIM, scared to go out with all of my - current issues, no, can't go there, no, can't eat that, no, don't drink, what will I wear.....etc. etc.

HE HAS A CABIN.........help me........

Awesome! Just be upfront with him and tell him what's going on....if he's a decent guy he will understand and it won't phase him....

And a cabin is always nice....No need to pitch a tent if you have a cabin :P

So now I'm just associated with trouble? GREAT!

Oregon Trail? That reminds me of the game from like my 3rd and 4th grade.... is it like really old looking and each pixel is about a half inch by half inch? haha.

Hopefully you're playing a more modern version!

Did I say TROUBLE! You must think you're trouble. :lol:

Oh, that's right, you are trouble, trying to break R-Ville rules. ;)

Oops forgot. Old game 25th anniversary edition OTII from 1995. I got it for my hubby's boys way back when.

My daughter is only 6, she loves it.

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night.

Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress.

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.
