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. :(

TheDave Newbie

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:

morganb Newbie

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!

TheDave Newbie
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!

morganb Newbie

Who is Mila again? Mitch's daughter or sister?

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

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

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:

      Marsh 3b is the Gold Standard of diagnosis for Celiac Disease.  Until recently, regardless of antibody tests, positive or negative, you had to have Marsh 3 damage to be awarded the diagnosis of Celiac. As I understand you,  you were having constant symptoms..  Your symptoms improved on GFD, with occassional flare ups. Did your doctor say you do and you are questioning the diagnosis? Regarding your increasing severity when you get glutened it is "normal.  Gluten acts on the Opiod receptors to numb your body.  Some report withdrawal symptoms on GFD.  I was an alcoholic for 30 years, about 1/2 pint of voda a day. Each time I identified a trigger and dealt with it, a new trigger would pop up.  Even a 30 day rehab stint, with a low fat diet (severe pancreatis) during which I rarely had cravings.  Stopped at a Wendys on the way home and the next day I was drinking again.  20 years later, sick as a dog, bedridden on Thanksgiving, after months of reasearch, I realized that gluten free was my Hail Mary.  Back in 1976 my son was diagnosed at weaning with Celiac Disease and his doctor suggested my wife and I should also be gluten free because it is genetic.  At 25 years old I felt no gastro problems and promised if I ever did I would try gluten free.  Well, I forgot that promise until I was 63.  Three days of gluten and alcohol free, I could no longer tolerate alcohol. Eleven years gluten and alcohol free, with no regrets. Improvement was quick, but always two steps forward and one back.  Over time I found nineteen symptoms that I had been living with for my entire life, that doctors had said, "We don't know why, but that is normal for some people". Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  It is an autoimmune disease, meaning your immune system B and T cells create antibodies against ttg(2) the small intestin in Celiac Disease and sometimes ttg(3) in skin in Dermatitis Herpetiformus.  Why is poorly understood.  In fact, it wasn't even know that wheat, barley and rye gluten was the cause.  Celiac Disease was also called Infantilism, because it was deadly, and believed to only be a childhood disease. So as part of your symptoms you must deal with those deficiencies.  Especially vitamin D because it contols your immune system.  Virtually all newly diagnosed Celiacs have vitamin D deficiency.  There are about 30 vitamin and minerals that are absorbed in the small intestine.  With Marsh 3 damage you may be eating the amount everyone else does, but you are not absorbing them into your system, so you will display symptoms of their deficiency.   As time passes and you replenish your deficiencies you may notice other symptoms improve, some you did not even know were sypmptos. Our western diet has many deficiencies build into it.   That is the reason foods with gluten are fortified.  Gluten free processed food are not required to fortify.  Vitamin D, Iodine, choline.  The B vitamins, especially Thiamine (B1) run deficient quickly.  We only store enough thiamine for 2 weeks for symptoms can come on quickly.  Magnesium, zinc, etc. each having its own symptoms affecting multiple systems.  High homocystene, and indicator of vascular inflamation can be cause by deficient Choline, folate, B6 and or B12.  Brain fog, deficient choline, iodine, thiamine. Dietary intake of choline and phosphatidylcholine and risk of type 2 diabetes in men: The Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study

      I cut out the rice because it was affecting my stomach at the time ... not necessarily dermatitis herpetiformis. It was Tilda Basmati Rice, sometimes wholegrain rice. I was willing to do whatever it took to heal. Too much fiber also disagrees with me as I have UC.
    • trents
      But you didn't answer my question. When you consume gluten, is there an identifiable reaction within a short period of time, say a few hours?
    • Scott Adams
      You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/   
    • Scott Adams
      I am only wondering why you would need to cut out rice? I've never heard of rice being any issue in those with DH.
