Dave, you have to put Town Hottie and Town Troublemaker in your job description.

Done...but I must disagree :rolleyes:

Boy oh boy.

I leave to have dinner and you guys go south on me.

May I remind you that Rachelville has rules of decorum and dress. Mr. Dave--you at least need a tank top on while working we can't have all the women falling all over themselves (whether it be from laughter or fainting :lol: ). The rest of you, Mother Hen is back on patrol and expects better behavior. :P

It would be laughter...but my apologies to the Mother Hen!

:lol::lol::lol:

Village idiot you better fix you signature... :o:lol:

Done.

NO EFFIN' AFLAC GEESE!!!!!

If we have the aflac bird I'm moving out of Rachelville.

Don't ask why, too traumatic. A guy and a lot of vodka. I'll leave it at that.

Besides, the AFLAC bird is a DUCK. Geese honk, they don't quack :rolleyes:

(That was a premature post, I'm all caught up now though, as of 8:56pm)

Hmmm...ok, sounds like a pretty interesting story though!

And where are the Altoids?????

No that would be my parrot! That's what happens when you get a friend to babysit for a week, they teach your bird to say AFFLAC!!!! :lol:

I'm in your time zone, too!!!

Sorry about your parrot! I would kill whoever babysit your bird!

OMG- I go get a colonoscopy and have 20 pages to read, The Dave is half-naked and i don't even know him, and we're slow dancin', swaying to the music and Karen is ALREADY in the stright jacket. GREAT googly moogly i say! That'll learn me to take time out for an alien probe. :P

It was fine. My colon is A OK endoscopically speaking (sorry Dave- there is colon talk on here :ph34r: )

but won't know about microscopically OK on Friday. She took biopsies and pictures (wwhich I will NOT post for your viewing pleasure :blink: ). No evidence of colitis or IBD. She thinks probably C Diff despite negative test, but also is checking my thyroid, and it could be gall bladder because some people develop chronic D after having it removed (so then can I have it back please? :huh: )

Carla- I LOVE your new pic. So pretty!!!!!!!

Gotta run. Long day, many drugs (most of which were good but I have narcotic nightmares- these long dream that I can't escape from where mean, yucky things are happening). narcotics are NOT my friend. Would rather drink a bottle of tequila and hold a stick between my teeth. I'm probably the only perspn on the planet to take that!!!!! I'm tired. Yawn!!!! And it was a long day- had to leave for Boston at 5 a.m., endure alien probe, take said narcotics and then catch up on 20 pages in Rachelville. Want my bed!!!!! Love to all, esp. the purple glittery bats, Beverly

I think it would be safe to take off the jacket until night fall...when it gets late you might need to put it back on....

Dave, Dave, Dave........... you don't know me very well, do you......... It is NEVER safe with me around..... :D

Do the geese in Rachelville go around yelling AFFLAC?

-Dave

They are Canada Geese - they end everything with "eh"........

Beverly, if it is microscopic (collagenous) colitis they were looking for, it wouldn't be visible during the colonoscopy anyway. The only way to confirm is with a pathologist looking at the biopsy samples through a microscope.....

Okay, straightjacket going back on........

Beverly, glad everything went well today! That sounds horrible what the narcotics do to you, probably would do the same to me. I don't mix well with drugs.

Carla, good to hear you had such a great experience at Maggianos :)

I didn't make Dave do it, I just ordered him to :lol::lol:

You can take it off if you don't agree with it...

Yikes, That doesn't sound like fun.

Talitha's got her 3 month check back with the nephrologist on Thursday. We don't expect any problems and neither does he (the doctor).

I've got to get all the kidlets to bed. I'll be back later.

Night to all who need to leave before I get back. :P

Julie,

How's the diet going?

Did Rachel get lost. Grocery shopping takes up sooooo much time. :P

Dave,

Are you still with us? You're being awfully quiet if you are.

Another late night for Mitch. He went in between 4-5 this morning and still isn't home. :(

Good googly moogly gosh-I am gone for a few hours and The Dave is half naked (I even did an f5 and didn't SEE it, lol), drive by postings, everyone else asleep :blink: I am on daylight savings time too, but have insomnia quite alot.

Andrea, when do you sleep, girl! I meant to mention before, but my dh's grandmother was named Talitha. I never knew another. I love Biblical names, too.

Hey, The Dave, so, you work with Rachel? What exactly do you do? Is there a Mrs. Village Idiot? Tell us more about yourself. What are your hobbies? Do you by any chance make scrunchies or bracelets? Enquiring minds want to know, lol :P

Hey Robbin,

It's great to see you this late.

I usually head off sometime between 10:30 and 11:30 and don't get up until 7:30 or 8:00. Kids don't get up until between 7-8. I'm one of those that like to sleep my 8 hours. Kids names...Talitha, Micah and Seth....all bible names.

Wow...he must get some crazy OT!

I'm still here.....lurking mostly....not busy tonight...full moon must be gone huh?

Don't I wish. He gets paid by the mile. I'm one the phone with him now. He's about 2 hours away and waiting for another truck to get loaded, then he'll be on his way home. It'll be about midnight before he gets home and then he's out the door around 5 if not earlier.

I just got a new order delivered of their flax and sunflower seeds, and it turns out that they are no longer GFCO-certified. Instead, it just has a generic "Gluten Free" symbol on the package. I reached out to them to ask what protocols/standards/testing they have in place. The person that wrote back said that they are now certifying their gluten free status in-house, but that she couldn't answer my questions related to standards because the person with that info was on vacation. Not very impressed, especially since it still says on their website that they are GFCO-certified. Buyer beware!

But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
