FABRIC....I am going mad with fabric on ebay....just ordered an antique Uzbek ikat in raspberry and cream linen/silk - - am going to make (have made - you don't want me sewing) two pillows for couch w/ fringe....a great deal, you must check out ebay for fabric! If not we can send Mango to other countries for our exotic textiles - - she can get Maori prints from Australia, but we need someone from Africa to send us Kuba cloth, and England to send us fantastic linens and cottons - - - there will be no pedestrian fabrics in Rachelville.....

Okay,although I'm not a regular poster on this thread I'm a regular reader!

No need to send Mango round the world,I can cover the English fabric angle-oh and while I'm there (Rachelville) did I mention I'm a trained hairdresser? ;)

I just know some of you ladies are gonna want to look your best when you go to that mall to get them beautiful clothes-or maybe not.Maybe your just gonna let your locks grow wild and go natural? :o

Whatcha think?Is there a job for me?!!(It does sound awfully nice) :D:D

OK, I told you guys about how I just got my tooth crowned and two cavities filled on thursday.

Well heres an update.

I decided to pay cash becasue I couldnt wait any longer, because I had a root canal done 3 months ago and had a temp filling in there.

it was starting to taste bitter in my mouth and I was worried that the filling was leaching out chemicals.

Turns out it was.

So went to see the dentist on thursday to get the temp filling tooth finally crowned, they drilled the old filling out and put a new one in and crowned it with a temporary Acrylic crown cap. I also let him fill two very decayed teeth in the back on the same side.

they really needed it.

After the appt. I felt ok but kind of sick in the stomach. starting shortly after that I was experienceing a bitter crappy taste in my mouth, espically when I eat. Sun, last night I thought I had a little zit in the corner of my mouth and was trying to pop it, and I never get those. It didnt pop, and it felt like it was real close to my lip on the corner.

I woke up this morning with a huge painful cold sore on my lip and awful bitter taste in my mouth, so I called the dentist, and he said to come in right away to see if the tooth was abcessing.

He looked and said that I have a cold sore, or herpes type one on my mouth, that was prob caused by the trama to the teeth and I said, that I have a bitter taste, he said that the temporary crown was made of Acrylic and metal based, and that could cause a immune reaction if I am sensitive to it.

He told me to get abbriva, and also wrote a script for some ointment, zivocor, or somthing.

I am allergic to acrilyic, im pretty sure so having it in my mouth sucks! Its so bitter and nasty.

The new crown in being made of porcline and ceramic, and not metal based. no acrylic. thank god.

I have to wait two weeks to get it in tho.

the acrylic momers are leaching out a little bit into my mouth and making me sick.....

I hope this doesnt make me wore, the cold sore is a bad sign, and so is the awful taste right on my tongue where it touches the crown.

my jaw hurts extra worse today,,,,

hopefully it gets better with the new tooth. its being made in a lab in California right now so I have to wait to get it in!

How is everybody else doing?

Celia, I saw that I would be the nurse in rachelville, thats cool, Where is it anyway.... :)

Im planning on moving to S. Cali after I finish nursing school in 2008, love it there. Im not really into where I live in ohio.Ive decided that once im done, There is really no reason to stay.

Julie - yes, cable, all the channels, yah! We can watch HGTV and food channel and then do all kinds of fun projects!

I need access to the food network as part of my job function :)

I also think we need more bathrooms than bedrooms, all with VERY POWERFUL FANS that are loud and industrial air fresheners.

The spoons theory certainly put things in perspective doesn't it.

I'm sure I must be one of the few that doesn't know what Red Bull is. :ph34r:

You've been living in organic-vegan land, right? Red Bull is an energy drink that is terrible for you but wakes you up and I justify drinking it because it has tons of b-vitamins and I need to function.

And reading over the butyoudon'tlooksick website, I was reminded that my doctor said the last time she saw me, "Are your cheeks always that red?" um...yeah? :unsure: She just kind of made a "hmm" noise and went about her business. I always thought I was always so pink because I'm so pale...maybe not? :huh:

Spoon theory??? Please explain. :blink:

I'm having brain fog, so won't do the theory justice, but in ChelsE's post above, the word spoon is underlined...that's actually a link, so if you click on it it will take you to the spoons theory page.

well maybe NOT, since we are growing our own organic perfect foods and livestock with vigilant geese and dingos on guard, and then our own team of highly-skilled chefs to prepare everything......

Oh yah. Had one on my way home from my biopsy last week...it had been in the car while my procedure was taking place so it was like a warm brownie! (can you guess chocolate is my fav)

Can we have unlimited dairy free chocolate on our cult farm?

Susan, I think you're on the Decor and Design Committee. I was just asking to join. I'll discuss my husband later, as I'm in the middle of fixing dinner now.

Nikki, welcome to Rachelville! I have to give up my Aveda hair products, but I'm sure you can come up with a substitute. MUST have the hair done once a week! :D

Thanks to all for the heads up on the spoons. I'll check it out.

Cissie

To save our thread: I haven't had the big D in weeks, but have had a few floating stools. :(

We're all in it together! we will all combine out talents and there will be no gluten contaminating our brains so all will be peaceful, everyone will be in a good mood all the time! (sounding more like Stepford now than Rachelville but we must ensure that it doesn't devolve into Lord of the Flies)

Hey, what does floating stool mean? Can't remember.....sometimes mine float and are grayish, I think that occurs after accidental glutening....

Yep, I'm starting to get the pain in my abdomen...I'm wondering if I didn't get glutened somehow. I did eat out on Saturday, and I had some of the new Lundberg Brown Rice Pasta I found at Whole Foods. I'm thinking it was the eating out thing even though I eat there every Saturday...maybe someone messed up.

Christine,

I hope the two weeks goes by quickly for you and you bounce back quickly.

I was going to say, can you imagine having bathroom duty in this community of celiacs. :lol:

I will be conveniently absent when that job is given out.

Question

Mitch and I are soy intolerant (plus I suspect baby) and Talitha and Micah scored 9 with enterolab with 10 being an intolerance. We have gone soy free but my question is this....

If you were intolerant to soy would you use something with soy in it for topical reasons. I have a jar of older noxema and a jar of newer noxema. The newer one lists soybean oil as an ingredient. I'm going to use the old one on my son (his back is sunburned) but was curious as to whether anyone thought soy oil would be a problem topically. The reason I question this is because of topical uses of gluten that can cause problems.

I would say yes for the smae reason that we say ti aobut gluten... you get it on your hands and then eat food.

I believe I'm allergic and intolerant to soy, but I can handle shampoo that has soy protein in it. It's strange I can use it topically because when I injest it my skin breaks out. Soy oil honestly isn't as problematic, but if you're worried maybe you could return it to the store?

Community Events Coordinator: Rinne

Celia, I would love the job, we'll need a committee of course, anyone? We will have to have a community hall for events, the decorating committee could take charge of that and the gardening committee could do the landscaping. I love to dance so you can expect lots of dances. :D

Back to the CT scan, the reason I refused to take the chemicals was that my mother reacted very badly to the injection and given that many of my symptoms are the same as hers I didn't want to risk it. I went looking for information about negative effects and didn't find much. There is something about the contrast being iodine and that it can in rare cases cause kidney damage and also some relationship to Grave's Disease but I couldn't understand it. I was really tired this morning from our trip yesterday, so much so that I slept all afternoon. :ph34r: I'm glad no-one here had any bad reaction to their scans.

Hopefully we wont have to worry about devolving into The Lord of the Flies. :blink: Our crops shall always be plentiful....enough for everyone! (we'll get some extra cows...just in case ;) )

      @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.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. 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.

      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.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
