Good morning Andrea, how are you and the kids??

We are doing good Julie, thank you for asking.

Inquiring minds want to know. What exactly is the Atkins diet again? I've heard so many bad things about it, like ketosis (I think it is). Isn't it primarily protein? I've found myself going back to eating meat/egg protein with my meals, probably more than I should. I had learned that it caused a lot of problems with the heart after a time. Anyone?

No plans this weekend. We usually stay home. May have Mitch take the kids to church so we don't mess up Seth's schedule again, maybe we'll all go... We really wanted to go to Southern Oregon for a night but finances may not allow for it since Mitch had such a slow month last month. :(

HAH HA You said doodie :P

:D

And, what else did you find????? Huh????? What????? :lol:

That's me, full of support for my fellow NorCalifornians, lol. :lol:

:P

:lol: Jessica

I am a HUGE "Friends" fan Dave

Cool, we'll have to go back and forth then....I am a big fan also.

i have seen every friends episode at least 3 times, and have them all on DVD, my sister is OBSESSED with friends.

Same here.... favorite character?

Dave,

Why you always sneaking around at night? :lol:

It's part of my mysteriousness :D

yes, right, you have time Rachel for arms to heal.....remember it's your FOREARMS that will be blown out from climbing and belaying the "ogre" :lol:

Hey, its only funny when I make fun of myself :lol:

Off topic...well, but what isn't off topic here :lol: .....does anyone do any catalog/internet ordering?? If so what are your favorite companies/sites??

I love zappos.com, finish line, lands end, old navy, j crew, victoria's secret, and amazon .com, to name a few.

Hmm, J Crew, Nordstrom, Banana Republic are the main ones, and you can find some fun stuff @ www.smartbargains.com or www.overstock.com or www.bluefly.com

:o:o OMG.....LOVE them!!!

OK...my dork meter went off the charts a long time ago so I'm not really gonna concern myself with that. :lol:

Susan...are you saying you wouldnt wanna hang out with me and Julie....watching Grease 2 and ice skating shows??? What are you THINKING??? It would be a blast.... :lol::lol:

Ok...well maybe I would think I'd died and gone to hell too if I wasnt an ex-skater. Thats the only reason I like it. :P

However, I didnt skate on the ice...I was a roller skater. :ph34r:

Yes, I did this competetively....wore the same skirt type outfits the ice skaters wear....I had a partner too. It was basically the same except when I fell I didnt freeze my butt off. :D

Ooooh...maybe one day I'll change my avatar to an old pic of me in my roller skating days. :lol:

That one would stay up for about 5 minutes.... :lol:

:lol: I did not know you were a skater! How has this not come up before.....hmm, we'll talk later, must see pictures of this ROFL!

Ummmm...H-E-L-L-O....

If you were actually reading the epic thread...and not just skimming, looking for juicy tid-bits of info to use against me....you would have seen that we've already discovered the secret behind multiple emoticons. Its old news! :P

Thanks to Vincent. :)

:rolleyes:

Rachel, who knew we had so many similarities, and nerdy and dorky ones at that :lol:

I loved to go roller skating with all my friends, that was the cool thing to do in the late 70s, early 80s, go to Skate City and go around and round in a circle while Bonnie TYler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" blared on the loud speaker

:lol::lol:

Good times!!!

We have to see that picture of you from your roller skating days, I do believe that tops the purple dress and heels :lol:

Oh no, there's two of them! ahhhh! ;)

Ha, I'm 5'3" and CAN'T wear petities...high rise and, er, um, uncomfortable in a certain area, lol.

:blink:

premature post...I'm working on catching up :P

Thanks, I guess ;) And in case you didn't know, I found more than this new town :lol:

:D

Any F-R-I-E-N-D-S fans? The one where Chandler has the interview, and his future employer asks about his duties. Chandler explains how he almost cracked up in the interview because his new boss was asking about his "doodies"...ok I'm a freak...I know :blink:

So what did you find??? And I love friends, I haven't seen all the shows, but I'm working on it.

Jayhwkmom, I love your picture!

Aren't pants the most annoying thing!? I try and find a brand that fits, and Rachel it!!! :lol:

Yea I Rachel pants/shirts/brands too, gotta find the ones that are comfy!

as soon as the "session" started it was off with the "skirt thingy"

hmm, you set yourself up for this one....did nobody else notice it? I didn't think you were that easy :lol:

Yeah...I Rachel the heck out of pants that fit me nowadays!!

And shirts/hats, etc. :rolleyes:

what about when the brand that fits is Guess and the jeans are $150????? :blink:

Or Seven's, Diesel's, True Religion, Chip and Pepper, Citizens of Humanity... the $200 jeans crisis is crazy!

Just spent a few (haha) minutes reading this. I love this site and all the communication. I am so glad I found this place and Rachelville seems like an awesome place.

Welcome to the 'ville!

Dave I see you. Good morning. :P

G'morning Andrea!

Now I better get outta here before Rachel gets on for her lunch hour :ph34r: ....talk to everyone later, have a good day!

I'm also a "Friends" fan.

One of the funniest things I've ever seen was the one where Ross wore leather pants on a date. He was in the bathroom trying to get them back on--trying everything including shaking powder all over himself. :lol:

jayhawkmom--Your picture is great! Glad you're sticking around :)

Andrea--I'm going back now and look closer at you new picture--see who's who! :P

Application is on page one. I need to go back and edit, since we have gluten members. Need to add the gluten decontamination chamber rules.

Julie if you didn't see my response to you, it's at the bottom of the last page. :P

Patti,

That one was hilarious!!!

I also liked the one where Ross whitened his teeth and they were so white they glowed in the dark :lol:

Also, when they all went to that conference for Ross in the Bahamas (or somewhere tropical??) and Monica's hair got all frizzy and she was going crazy over the ping pong competition.

Uh oh, now here we go, getting started on Friends, the hilariousness doesn't end :lol::lol:

Ok, I'm confused! So, these are all of Mitch's kids with his first wife, Mila, with you and Talitha??

Trying to get it all straight.

Hi Donna, expert of the drive by posts :lol:

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
