Omg...i Might Be On To Something

[Jean-Luc]

Wow, leave overnight and come back to 14 pages of stuff to catch-up on. I hope everyone is feeling better today.

Bev and Vincent - good luck with your tests. My prayers are with both of you. Vincent, great news on your son.

Dave - I agree equal treatment for all construction workers.

Miamia - you won't be lonely here. If you miss a couple of days, I am sure Rachel or AndreaB will send the Dingos looking for you.

[rinne]

That was some party.

Here is a sample of what someone finds when they google Rachelville.

[Guest Robbin]

That is so funny Mia--! As in, "I pulled a Dave, got glutened and am having a spinach day!" Too funny

Have a great morning-prayers with you Vincent and Bev-hope you both have a clean bill of health.

You get used to it...I've done it for quite some time, now

  Rachel--24 said:

Yeah...watch out for that one...especially around the full moon. Things get a little crazy around here.

Karen is the queen of altoids...she rides a float in our parade and tosses out altoids to the crowd.

Altoids have become quite the naughty thing around here...they have caused quite a stir....on many occassions.

Lordy, here we go again

No wonder I had 14 pages to catch up on

Are we going to have food anonymous meetings in Rachelville?

Good idea, but I can't lead them....it wouldn't give credibility to my talk with chocolate bumble bar crumbs all over my face.

  Camille said:

Guess what! I got the results of my tests from Entero Lab! Yay!!!

Premature posting...I'm sure someone else has asked and you've responded, but just in case...SO WHAT DID THEY SAY, lol?

  BERNESES said:

A MONTH!!! The thought gives me chills, lol...I am so proud of you, I KNOW that's not easy!

Donna - the itch, did the dermatologist consider Dermatitis Herpetiformis? It's one of the first things s/he should consider when a Coeliac presents with an unbearable itch! On a 0-10 scale of itchiness DH is around 12. I have been known to wake up with a completely raw arms where I've scratched off several layers of skin in my sleep. It starts with little raised red lumps and progresses to blisters filled with fluid. It's usually, but not always, bilateral on the body, meaning if you have it on one leg you might find it in the same place on the other as well. It's aggravated by gluten and dietary iodine (too much salt or seafood).

I haven't actually gone in yet...go Friday, but will definitely mention it, although I don't seem to have the blistering. I do have pink raised areas that feel rough...I don't have good eyes anymore, but did try to look under a magnifying glass...I thought at one time some of the little bumps looked blistery...but I scratch so darned much that I'm not sure I'd ever really see any. I haven't seen any of the dermatologists in this group before, but they are in the same group as my GI, so if they haven't noticed the gluten issues I'll be sure to mention it. It is somewhat symetrical...both thighs will itch in the same place, but I usually don't see a lot of marking until AFTER I've scratched. I do eat a lot of salt, but I don't think it has iodine (sea salt).

  miamia said:

I am not great I went away for the weekend for this yearly family trip and there all still there and I am here- not a good sign. I wasen;t feeling well when I went away and it only got worse I tried to tough it out and made it a few days but finally today I gave up and came home. I went to this health center and now I am finally home ..... My brain is mush and my body is not so happy

Gosh, I'm so sorry!!!!

  VydorScope said:

Good googly moogly! I have to do my heart test this week (MUGA Scan if your in the know... ) wensday am... hope they find somthign good in there this time.... Wensday at 830am I think it is.. I should find out I guess....

Hope all goes well!!! Yes, better find out, lol.

  VydorScope said:

So I get this MUGA twice a year to see if its getting worse or stable. If its stalbe I might be okay, if its getting worse that would be very bad. A pacemaker is almost garrenteed to be in my future... oh yea. Im only 31 way to young for this junk.

  Robbin said:

Ok, big change, drum roll... Mister Ds helped me change my signature...f5 and look!! Is it too loud?!

btw-my teenage son wanted to know if Rachelville has a strip club. Yes, I am going to wash out his mouth with soap.

No, your signature is just fine...looks beautiful! And, on that son, lol.

  VydorScope said:

If you want some GOOD news ... scratch that, if you want some AWSOME news for a change check out :

Open Original Shared Link

and with that I am off... Good night and good geese'ing!

WOW!!!! Wonderful!

  Rachel--24 said:

Julie,

My doc is looking into this for me. Not for Claritin though...another antihistamine...I think Zyrtec?? Is that an antihistamine? I dunno...it started with a Z though. Shes gonna ask about that or ANY antihistimine that can be compounded. She said the Ketotifen is mainly for the gut and asthma...not the same as these other antihistimines.

I take Zyrtek, so will be really interested if it can be compounded!

  Rachel--24 said:

Yeah Donna...you and me both. Except I dont have the itchy leg thing going on.

CHOCOLATE!!

Donna, you must limit yourself...do we need another intervention?

Oh yeah....who am I to talk...the ice cream freak over here calling the kettle black.

Chocolate is super high in histamine...no wonder your legs are itching like that!

Yep, intervention may be needed...it's 8:46 a.m. and so far I've had NO chocolate, lol.

  DingoGirl said:

at least an actual HUMAN is witnessing your madness and can laugh with you...here, Annie just comes running across the room if I laugh too hard...

At least you have Annie...all I have are all the ants I've helped relocate, lol, staring in through the window.

  TheDave said:

Clearly a necessity...but please just remember.....there are a handful of women contruction workers too! Can't be discriminating in Rachelville now can we?

I think not.

-Dave

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

  DingoGirl said:

oh we definitely need a chocolate intervention! I am wondering - - do you all, who are sensitive to histamines, sneeze a lot? because I never really sneeze any more, since allergies are gone (hay fever reactions, which mostly left when I moved to Monterey)....

No don't sneeze a lot...haven't with any of my allergies...mine manifest in itchy skin or stuffed up sinuses.

[AndreaB]

Robbin,

Morning comes to fast when you're up so late doesn't it.

Donna,

Hope you have a good day and get some resolution for your itchy skin.

Miamia,

Glad to see you on this morning. Hope that each day starts getting a little better and you can start taking more steps forward than backward.

Picard,

Equality among construction workers has been taken into account......but you guys are still outnumbered!

Patti,

Who knows how many pages you might miss the next few nights. Lynne says the full moon is coming up on Wednesday. At least I have a quiet, sleeping house in the evening so I can sit here and laugh to myself at the computer.

Rinne,

That list.....

Chelsea,

I thought you'd like the bat time reference.

Evie,

Tomatoes....I'll take some. Somehow I don't think they'd be in the bestest shape after they arrived here through the mail though.

Dave will love being in the R-ville vocabulary list. Who volunteers to go back and find it.....only within the last 30 pages afterall.

What I see in common is that You guys are all on restrictive diets to heal and maintain health, so thats what I am trying to accomplish too, even if what Im saying about teeth and jaw pain and heavy metals, thryoid, etc. doesnt make a connection with anyone, it still helps to vent to you guys. I think we all have different problems that are unique anyway and we bring our own personality and style to the community.

Yep, we don't have the same issues, but in general we're all trying to figure it all out. Something someone says here may help you...hope it does.

Ok Ok, I'll be nice.... so do you know how to work the pneumatic nailer?

I can...may use it on the ants in fact.

Shirtless equality it is! I have no problem running around without a shirt on.

  TheDave said:

Ok true story guys.... The other day Rachel and I were hanging out and she had to like stop the conversation to explain to me what the difference between a brownout and a blackout was....and then told me she learned it here....so don't feel bad Donna....you're awesome! haha

Gosh, didn't think anyone would actually remember it.

[nikki-uk]

Well it looked like I missed some party last night guys

Typical,I always leave,and then the fun starts (time differences an all you guys are always sleeping when I post )

Full moon aye?I'm on my guard

I like the new R/ville word- a' Davidism 'or

you 'done a Dave'- such wordage!

Ok,I phoned my sons clinic for the results of his repeat celiac disease screen.

The nurse said the paediatrician wants to discuss the results with me and they've given me an appt for the 22nd Aug.I explained we was away then,so she come back on the phone and said he'll see us on the 30th -she wouldn't tell me on the phone the blood results..

Mmm,I've never got an appt that quick,I'm assuming the worst and that he's had positive bloods (can't think what else he'd want to discuss )

I know I've been pushing for testing for my son as he has some of the symptoms-but now it comes to the crunch-

Well good googly moogly, I don't want him to have it !!!(stamping Foot)!

I am trying to make a rule of using my favourite saying as often as I can

See ya

P.S Donna-no chocolate??!!

That is just downright cruel!

[dlp252]

  Rachel--24 said:

Yes, Donna this is true. Sorry to have accussed you of making up Brown Outs...again.

You're forgiven...see my millionth quote response above.

  Rachel--24 said:

Oh....one last thing. What the heck are the newbies thinking tonite when they came on here trying to find out if I can eat dairy once again.

OH GOOD GAWWWWWWDDDDD!!!!!

Good grief...I hope all is well for your son.

  miamia said:

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

oh good gaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwdd.....very good Mia....

I, too feel hungover this morning, Robbin, was just thinking that PRECISE thing and saw your post! ha ha ha

[Green12]

I thought I was a part of the party last night, but after I left it looks like it was just getting started- that was back on page 317

Glad you guys all had some fun.

MiaMia- I like our new vocab word "Dave"

Karen- I wish there was something we could do for your nights of D, I am so sorry

Susan- you have to add Dingo Wrangler to your job title!

Goodmornin to all Rachelville-ites

[VydorScope]

I was wondering... should cooking shows, and esply the Food Network be shown to small childern with celiac disease? Seems like it be like porno to them

Nikki,

Are you it's almost 10 Pacific time. Are you guys about 9 hours ahead of us?

I would be going crazy waiting that long to see the test results. Please keep us posted.

When are you leaving again?

  DingoGirl said:

oh good gaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwdd.....very good Mia....

I, too feel hungover this morning, Robbin, was just thinking that PRECISE thing and saw your post! ha ha ha

Susan,

It's all the chocolate.

OK, just maybe it's because you were up late.

  Rachel--24 said:

Where is the gluten free Big Mac???

I will go anywhere!

Is the Big Mac bunless....cuz how can it really be a Big Mac without the bun?

I'm trying to see what's been going on in R'ville and saw a post from "The Dave" So we even have a new resident since the last time I was here!! Gosh, more happens here in a day than a soap opera!!

I don't know if anyone answered this, I haven't read all the posts I've missed, nor will I be able to, but it's Helsinki, Finland. It will definately be a place I visit someday! I bet they have wheat starch in them though, but it's only a guess since it's generally accepted for a celiac in Europe, as far as I can tell.

Welcome Dave! Makes sense the village idiot would be the one who is not gluten-free!!!

Oh, spinach! A chocolate Dave, how can I keep up with it all??? I live too far east, so most of your posts are done when it's the middle of the night here!!! Especially since it's late for you, too!!
