Hmmm, I don't know how to put my job in red :unsure: How do I do that?

Morgan

To put your job in red, go to "Edit Signature" and click on the capital 'A' in the line above the blank field. That will bring down a color grid. Highlight the line or lines you want colored and click on the color you want. When you've made all of your changes, hit the "Update My Signature" button on the bottom.

Hope you're all having a nice time--say Hi to your mom for me :D

I never really watched the show -- when I did I thought the character of Joey was funny. Now Rachel ... different reason to watch. :D

:lol: Molly, I heard about that summer "homework" thing. So glad I am finished with school, it will go really fast so enjoy every minute of it :)

Dave, hi there! My favorite character is probably Ugly Naked Guy...no JK!!! Joey is my favorite, then probably Chandler.

:lol: Chandler is def. one of my favs, Ross is pretty funny too though.... It's hard to pick one favorite because they play off each other so well, the whole group is funny.

joey and pheobe

I dont like Phoebe :ph34r:

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

:lol::ph34r:

That one was funny, and the teeth whitening as mentioned already....hmm, remember when they poked ugly naked guy to see if he was still alive? Hmm, or when Chandler took a bath (with Monica's salts/candles)? That one was hilarious. Move the boat, move the boat!

How does one become a part of Rachelville??????

Just like that! Welcome to the 'ville

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

Damn gluteners! argh! (imagine the pirate costume)

:lol: Hi everyone! :D

Today is the big day I've been talking about for weeks...going Rock Climbing....a little nervous about it though. Hope I dont hurt myself. Oh yeah...hope I dont hurt The Dave either. :lol:

I do still know how to backward skate and I can still "rex"....which is my favorite. Anyone know what "rexing" is??

This is way out of left field....but is it organized or competitive rollerskating to dance music; aka roller disco

:lol::lol::lol: Mysteriousness??? :lol::lol::lol:

Puleeeeeze :rolleyes:

Woman please :huh:

He's not lying...he does Rachel the heck out of his shirts. He was telling me last night how scary it was for him when his favorite shirts were being discontinued. He totally Racheled them....traveled to every Nordstrom trying to get as many as he could. :lol:

If its not Michelle, you're gonna tell someone about what I tell ya huh? haha :lol:

ROFL

Nooooooo....I meant to say that I take off the "skirt thingy" and then put on Jeans!!

Shheeeesh... :rolleyes:

hmm....mmmmmhmmmmm :rolleyes:

My favorite jeans are Abercrombie....love love love them!! Especially the ones with the holes in em! :)

And of course the jeans wouldn't look cool if they didn't have an Abercrombie sweater/t-shirt wrapped around the waist..... :P

"Friends".....ok....my favorite is Phoebe and then Joey. They both crack me up...Ross cracks me up too though....hmmmm....its so hard to pick. I gotta say Phoebe though....for sure. :D

smelly cat...smelly cat.... :lol::lol:

Pheobe is the one person from the show I could live without..... :lol:

Dave is Rachels friend not boss. :P

Good answer, precisely what I was about to say...... B)

I have also been wondering the same thing!! Thanks for asking. I thought maybe he was just the town hunk that the girls swoon over :P Seems that all the girls on here really LOVE :wub: when he shows up online. They all rush to their computers........ha Is the Dave gluten free?

Must find out more about this secret agent man :P

:lol: can I get a "ohhhh gaaaaawd" over here please..... not even close to being accurate!

Nope the Dave is NOT gluten free. He must go through the decontamination chamber whenever he visits.

Just had some awesome gluten like 5 mins ago :P

Well that that DEFINATELY takes him out of the running for "town hottie" :P No gluten eaters can be my poster boy.

:lol::lol:

You're one of the reason we had to change our rules.....not to mention the spouses or friends or significant others of other members on the board.

There is also my husband Bill. He visits quite often but never speaks. Ha! I am his spokesperson.

Hi Bill! :D If he wants a job, just let us know.

Love the new pic!

Uh oh! You may risk cross contamination from me from time to time since my husband is the celiac one. For the most part I am gluten free but unlike Bill, I can cheat from time to time if my daughter wants to order pizza or something. However, we doctored up some Amy's gluten free pizza the night before last & then I took the leftovers for the lunch the next day & it was YUMMY!

Ummm....no. Sorry, you dont win the prize....thanks for playing though. :)

Actually "rexing" is just something that we did for fun. Sometimes we would do it in a group but its not competitive or "organized". Its really hard to explain in writing....its kind of like dancing on skates I guess.....but you skate fast when you rex...you criss-cross your skates back and forth...really fast and in tune with the music. You can add little tricks in as you go. I sort of had a little routine that I did. Anyone who went to the rink often would have seen some people "rexing". Usually it would be the more experienced skaters.

Havent gone rock climbing yet....still 3 hours away. Will try to post later on...let you guys know how it went.

Has anyone here seen "Supersize Me"??

I call it the "hamburger movie".....its a documentary about a guy who only eats McDonalds for one month and you can see how it affects his health. I saw it last night.

I ate soooo much McDonalds and fast food before I got sick...Firtst CT scan I got showed I had a fatty liver. After changing my diet drastically.....one year later...no fatty liver. Same thing happened to the guy in the movie...his liver got fatty in only a few weeks eating like that.

Oh man....I still miss Big Macs even after seeing this movie. :ph34r:

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.

      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...

      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.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      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.
