Ok...

I really liked the idea brought up by Nikki and Judy.

We can still have all the fun and laughs....in the correct forum...and seperate from all of the medical scientificness of the OMG thread. We can still have our town list (if everyone wishes) and we can carry on with the goofiness. Geese and dingos and glittery bats will still grace our land protecting us from the evils of the outside world!

Everyone still holds the same duties and all is well in Rachelville....hope to see everyone here sharing the laughs and love!

Deb,

I really feel for anyone who tries to get through that thread! :blink: It was quite the party though....we're just moving it now. ;)

Andrea,

Thanks for posting the town list....you are so amazing with that thing. :lol:

Yeah...I had a little trouble with my title. :rolleyes: You think I would have learned from the title of the OMG thread....that one came out all wrong too. It takes me awhile to catch on sometimes. :lol:

Carla helped me "fix" it. :D

I have tons of things to catch up on today....in the "real world". So I better get my butt moving....yesterday was VERY unproductive so I got alot of making up to do. :P

Welcome to Rachelville, newbies!! Page 28, wow, I can't believe you got that far!!! If you can't keep up, just read the last two pages or so and jump in! This will be a lot of chit-chat, and probably not worth reading every word!! Yea, I realize there aren't two pages ... yet ... you'll see what I mean later. It's almost a chat room ...

OH GOOD GOOGLY MOOGLY - - - - so many threads, so little time....what to do, what to do......Rachel, did you not KNOW what was going on in the peely-face thread, the wackiness that Cecile started OVER THERE????? that she took my honest query about my face cream, from like two weeks ago, it was dead and I think only one person ever responded to it....and then she resurrected it and turned it into PURE LUNACY? so now....there's OMG I, there's my peeling face thread (and EVERYONE is invited to that but it is very female in nature), and then NOW THERE"S THIS......I have got work to do - yard, house, friends to see, jewelry to make, furniture to paint - - how will I keep up....no.....no....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! :o:o:o

okay. got that out of my system. you probably stayed away from my peeling face thread because your skin is perfect. but check it out, it's a hoot.....at least I think so.......

We have a dad and a wife of the gluten-free person in the household, too, so you're not alone and are certainly welcome here!! You just may not bring gluten anywhere near R'ville. At least that's how I think we've bent the you must be gluten-free rule!!

Debmidge,

You are welcome.

We have a gluten decontamination chamber to go through before coming into town.

Our rule for that is that you must brush your teeth, shower and have on a clean set of clothes before entry. This is to prevent a possible biohazard pandemic.

Interests please....if you would like a job.

Deb, all hubbies and wives are welcome here...you just have to follow the rules. There are only 3 really...so not so difficult to get into Rachelville.

1. No gluten

2. No Auxigro ridden veggies

3. Proper attire must be worn at all times (i.e. Rachelville is not a nudist town)

We do have one rebel in our town (dont all towns?)....he's not gluten free but we dont follow in his footsteps. ;)

He has to be de-glutenized before he comes into Rachelville and I believe he eats paper products while he's here. :huh::rolleyes:

Let Andrea know what you would like your job to be. :)

Rachel I can feel the sympathy from here...............................

:lol::lol:

Molly, cool that you have joined us.....my fellow Giants fan. :D

We can watch all the games together. I think R-Ville needs a big screen TV somewhere for special events...like watching the games!

Is The Dave going to come back now that we can gab?

Tell him that gluten free foods are much better than paper products and in all likelihood more nutritious.

Mitch says: Just came in with a truckload which contains one 56" wide screen HDTV which will be installed at the community center. Tonights game features SF Giants and the Seattle Pilots.

Andrea says: He's waiting for questions on the Pilots. :P

Andrea also says: I would like to watch the international show jumping competitions.....anyone else?

Thanks. I got a new dental appliance, the next step in taking care of my TMJ and the last step before braces.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By par18 · Posted

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

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

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
