Votre Francais et tres bien, mon ami. Mine sucks. I don't think he is in France, though. I think he is in Connecticut.

Rachel, tell us about the grocery shopping ? Any exciting celebrity sightings? :D

CELEBRITY SIGHTINGS - ha ha ha - good one - -

but do you think Picard is FROM FRANCE?? this would be so titillating...

hey - does anyone know if scanners work well for photos? I am going to have to see if I can post something quite funny......has to do with JR......some of you will like it......

Susan, je ne pense pas qu'il habite en France, je pensent Conneticut. LOL

OH MON DIEU CECILE, didn't know that that French injun in you SPOKE FRENCH ACTUALEMENT......

Robbin... qui était trop drôle, je n'ai pas même su que vous avez signalé cela ! !

You guys are making me wish I'd kept up with my French.

Cecile,

You need to come stay for a long time in a couple years and refresh my pronunciation if I decide to try and start the kids on French. It's that or Spanish. Of course, maybe I'll wait until they are older. The only thing is we've got to take advantage of the sponges while they still absorb quickly.

Surprised so many people know French on here....or some of it anyway..... I always figures Spanish would be the more obvious choice (well...especially for us here in California!)

vous me faites le rire, mon Français est moche. Je tends mon cerveau. Gotta stop the French, I am thinking too much, lol. :)

I was getting confused, can you imagine that- I was thinking of the Amber Frey sighting. Oops, I am forgetting to use asterisks ***** :) *******

Decorating committee members must decorate*****

That is interesting about the golden retrievers, Karen, I never knew that before. I love them so much too. I love most dogs and cats.

Omg, Rachel, you will appreciate this story -Remember the little pond I was going to put fish in? Well, I did put some fish in-coincidentally their names were (notice WERE) Jean-Claude, Patrice, Lisette, and WeeWee.

Sad, sad story it is. I was so excited and put them in their new home, with water temp. just right, chlorine removed, food, nice glass baubles in the bottom and to my horror, the next day found them all dead. Stuck to the bottom of the pump!!!! They were sucked into the pump that the fountain flowed from!! They are now fertilizer in my flower bed. Alas, the circle of life...... :blink:

This is so true... have to share a story... :lol: I seem to always do that...

One of my sisters and husband and their 3 young children lived in Austria for a few years because of work... the kids came back bi-lingual... my sister and her husband had to ask the kids to translate for them when they were still there... :lol:

:lol::lol::lol:

I'm speeeed reading...catching up fast! Only 4 pages back now.

I'm replying to multiple posts (learned this from The Dave)

Glad the Village Idiot is good for something :rolleyes:

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

LMAO...

It took me awhile to catch on to this...

iPod's are great at work!? up until 6 they are! ;) and you wonder about the word slacker??? hmmm :lol:

And just what are you implying Mr. Not my Boss??

At 6 am I am busy greeting customers and at this point I have no use for an iPod as our customers are my only priority. Don't you know this?? Sheeessh. :rolleyes:

Oh..................my.......................Gosh.......................our Cissie watches BOUNTY HUNTER......

this is somehow SO incongruous to me........let me wrap my mind around it................ :o

Ok....so I need to wrap my mind around this too. :blink:

How is it that she watches Bounty Hunter and yet has never heard of Brad and Angelina??? :unsure:

think about it.....our dear Rachel cna't even catch up, and SHE IS THE PRESIDENT......

Ummm...yes. And I'm STILL not caught up. I simply asked the Rachelvillians to slow things down and several people seemed to *think* about it...but yet went on to add about 15 more pages! :o

Shhheeeesh....my own cult farm has gone wild.

Rachel, I trust you will leave the troublesome crackers at the store--where they belong ;)

Jersey...I sure as heck did! I walked right past those darn gluten crackers that are disguised as rice crackers! I've learned my lesson! I'm never touching those nasty things again!

Besides I have like 3 packages of them at home still. :ph34r:

Sorry, I'm posting. I can't help it. This is really bad. I have a job for the next week that basically involves me, in a room by myself, with a big computer, a set of instructions, and...oh no...internet access! Don't worry though, I'm very skilled at hanging out in Rachelville while simultaneously getting work done :ph34r:

YAY Mango!!!!

The auxigro protective geese are suppose to protect us from a lot of things.....

Yeah...me thinks the geese have been slippin a bit. <_<

Cissie what is wroooooong with the geese??? :huh:

Ohhh sheeet! Andrea is going to die when she gets back....

LMAO!!!

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.

OMG Chelse. :blink:

I'm tryin to imagine what this could possibly be about.... :unsure:

OH Gaaaaaaawd I'm being robbed of my emotions again!!! :angry:

Have to go back and count these little guys....

They were kind of out of it after that....and were totally amused by the "duck, duck, goose" game I showed them.....

Don't forget....YOU'RE NOT HER BOSS! :P

Oh yea...well then I'll tell our Boss Henry to write her up for being a smart@ss!

Much less to reply to this time since I dont speak French....or read French. I breezed through the last few pages... :D

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),

:lol::lol:

Yeah....good thing I had to go shopping cuz I missed it too!! Thank Gaaaaaaawd!!!

There must of been some editing since then. :unsure:

Praise the Lord. :D

I make scrunchies by the hundreds.....j/k

Wow Dave.....so do I!!! :lol:

Yea not too exciting.... got 2 puppies on Sunday though! Very cute...10 weeks old, brother/sister, Golden Retrievers! No pictures on the computer yet :(

Yeah cute puppies! I love Puppies! :D

The Dave...or Shirtless Dave...or Naked Dave....or Village Idiot Dave....or whatever your name is....you had better be nice to those puppies!!

Omg, Rachel, you will appreciate this story -Remember the little pond I was going to put fish in? Well, I did put some fish in-coincidentally their names were (notice WERE) Jean-Claude, Patrice, Lisette, and WeeWee.

Awwww poor little fishies. :(

Robbin...what now? No more fish for the pond? Is there any way to correct this so it cant happen again?

Yea yea...there will be a write up waiting for her on my desk in the morning.... :rolleyes:

ROFLMAO!! :lol:

You ARE funny Dave (the)!!!!

Rachel - - have you tried the rice crackers (Savory Thins) from Trader Joe's? an excellent thing and no problems wiht those, ever, gah-raun-teed!

I'm done with the rice crackers. No more....RICE CRACKERS!!

Frankly, I'm getting sick of rice...and I think rice hates me now too. <_<

Don't forget....YOU'RE NOT HER BOSS!

Yes Dave...Dont forget this

Remember...I dont really have a boss...I'm my own boss. Hence, President. :D

Uh-oh...geese are slipping again....don't tell anyone...but I snuck them some of Rachel's glutened crackers and Auxigro'd veggies! hehehehe B)

:o

Seeeee....he really is the Village Idiot! Cissie is gonna make him pay dearly. :lol:

Dont say you werent warned my friend!!

Ok...so The Dave has been in RachelVille...oh...maybe around 24 hours now.

So far he has violated the "must wear clothing" rule....poisoned our Geese with gluten and Auxigro and decided that he will not follow rule # 1 (which states all residents must be gluten free).

Cant wait to see what tomorrow brings. :rolleyes:

Oh yea...well then I'll tell our Boss Henry to write her up for being a smart@ss!

Ummmm....Boss Henry??? :lol:

Those two words just dont seem compatible to me...as Susan would say....

I'm....scared....hold....me... :unsure:

G'Nite Rachelville...

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      Thank you so much.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      You have one gene for Celiac.  You have a second autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is frequently found at a higher rate with Celiac.  HLA genes carry autoimmune disease genes like Celiac and Hashimoto's and diabetes and others.   You have Celiac symptoms of reacting after gluten.  You said "I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches)."  And your anti-thyroid antibodies increase after gluten exposure.  While tTg IgA does not directly attack the thyroid, gluten exposure does trigger the  immune system to produce antibodies against the thyroid in genetically predisposed individuals.  You did not eat sufficient gluten (10 grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum) to raise the autoimmune antibodies to the point they can be measured in the blood, so your blood tests may well be inaccurate.  You could choose to continue the gluten challenge of 10 grams a day for at least two weeks and get retested.   At the very least, you know that gluten is harmful to your thyroid, and because you are genetically predisposed to Celiac disease, a strict gluten free diet would be beneficial for your overall health.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ?

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Thank you very much @knitty kitty! I'm glad you brought up the point about histamine. I have been taking an antihistamine after meals where I don't feel so good and never knew why it helped so much. At first I thought I might have a food allergy, but I recently did a food allergy test and I actually have ZERO food allergies. Regarding your last point about the stages of grief, are you saying it's likely that I have celiac? I have Hashimoto's BTW and I know for sure that gluten causes an autoimmune response to my thyroid as my anti-TPO and anti-Tg go up and my throat feels swollen. Could the symptoms be due to that autoimmune response?

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Zuma888, The antibodies produced in response to gluten are made in the intestines.  When the body is provoked sufficiently, the antibodies overflow out of the intestines and into the blood stream.  Once in the blood stream, the antibodies can be measured with tTg IgA tests.  Three grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum is enough gluten to make you feel the symptoms of having been glutened, but the antibodies are not in sufficient quantity to be measured in the blood. Ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks is required to get the anti gluten antibodies at a high enough level in the blood stream to be measured by tTg IgA tests. So, no, occasional cross contamination or (heaven forbid) intentional cheat days will not be sufficient for tTg IgA testing.  You will still be making antibodies which will still be causing inflammation and damage to the intestines and body.  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten.  High histamine levels lead to food sensitivities, brain fog, and body aches.   The damage done to the gastrointestinal tract affects the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.  Malabsorption of fats can cause changes in stools.  Insufficient absorption of vitamins and minerals can cause damage to other organs like the thyroid if it can't get enough Selenium, iodine, iron, zinc, and Thiamine.  Brain fog and fatigue can be caused by low Thiamine and other B Complex vitamins.  Vitamin D is needed to regulate the immune system.  One gene is all that's needed to develop Celiac disease.  I know a Celiac diagnosis is a change that can be difficult to get your head around.  Many people go through the five stages of grief.  One stage is "bargaining".  Sounds like you're stuck there.  Every little cheat counts to your detriment.  But sticking to a gluten free diet, makes every meal a success.   Read the comments below the article... Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!
