Morning/afternoon all! :D

Morgan.....like the new pic.

We decided to start school a week early.....so tomorrow it is. Gotta get a few more art supplies and need to print out some more aids then we are set to go....I think. Talitha is very excited. Maybe I'll be a better writer and a little more artistic when I get done teaching all three kids.....then again, maybe not. :lol:

Yea, where is everyone?

Did you go to St. Paul's or are you going tonight? I think the students generally like the 5:30 or 9PM masses.

I went this morning...I have some dorm meeting and a bar-b-que tonight.

Tavi,

I don't know....we talk sometimes on myspace too. But she responds quicker on here. We both seem to be on here a lot so the conversation just happens.

Yea, it's just because I saw her here. We text on our phones and talk, too. Usually we're both on here to chat with all of you, and think of things to say to each other.

I know I tried to edit it out because I thought it sounded rude, but I had already been quoted. I didn't mean it to sound rude, I was just curious. I must go hang my head in shame now :ph34r::P:ph34r:B):ph34r:

Me, too.

Morgan's been a huge help to me, and believe it or not, more of our chatter is off this forum. It's just a habit ... I think we even drive my husband/her father crazy when we're together. We text and talk every day, too. I'd email her if she ever checked her email!

Plus, none of you were around last night or this morning when we got on!!!! ;) That made it seem like we were using this as our own personal chat room!! :P

I check my email twice a day (sometimes more) bc I have to watch out for emails having to do with school. But I am on here a lot more than that.

Ok as long as I didn't hurt anyones feelings! Boy, now I know why I don't have any friends! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I really was just curious and then when I re-read it I thought it sounded rather rude. I really do enjoy seeing you chatter at each other, it reminds me of myself and my daughters.

Anyway, I tried to edit before anyone read it but it was already quoted. So sorry :(:(:(

Thank-you for your forgiveness, on with the Carla and Morgan show, please!!!! :lol::lol::lol:

Good afternoon Rachelville,

This is as deserted as I have ever seen it :( a very sad sight...

Tavi, if it's any consolation I am completely in the dark over what you posted :lol: , but I tend to miss most everything and be a little on the oblivious side!

I also want to say that I enjoy the B Girls conversations, you guys have a great mother/daughter relationship, that seems rare these days. It's been fun being in the midst of all of it :lol:

Andrea, so you made a decision on starting school!!!! That's great :D Best of luck getting started, I know it will keep you very busy but it's going to be a wonderful experience for you and the kids. Check in when you can.

Julie,

Checking in. :D

Just got back from getting all (hopefully) of the art supplies for the year.....plus some. :P

It has been quiet in here. A lot of people must be getting in their last bit of fun before school starts for the year again.

Welcome Carrie, glad to have you. :D

Prince Edward island. My dad was there about 10 years ago during the fall colors. He loved it. That was when he was traveling in the RV. He even got to meet my husband's mother before I did. He stopped on his way through Pennsylvania.

It's been quieter here lately, so not too hard to keep up with. Almost everything is chit chat anyway.

I grew up on PEI and it is a beautiful place. I highly recommend going there for a vacation in late July/early August and going to the beaches. They are gorgeous.

Carrie, I LOVE your new avatar! I didn't know your wedding was so soon. I thought it was farther in the future.

My 8.5 year old son is reading Anne of Green Gables right now. I convinced him to read it. I said that the book was really really good, but he might get a bit hung up on the writing style because it's sixty years old and the story took place longer ago than that. We take turns, I'll read out loud and then he'll do silent reading for a while. I think he's enjoying it.

Wow, seems like so much is going on since I last read here. I am just here long enough to read a few and check in with everyone.

We are headed to the neurologist in PA tomorrow for my sons first visit with one since he was discharged from his stay in the hospital. They are checking him for seizures and such. I am a bit nervous about it. I just have to keep trying to think positive. I would appreciate any prayers and good thoughts. That is really the only thing going on here right now.

I hope everyone is well, and I am going to try to check here more regularly now. Take care everyone!!!

Enjoy the last bit of summer!!!

Hi Carrie! You look gorgeous in your picture, and your dress is fabulous! Sounds like such a pretty place you got married :)

My face is breaking out, what is that all about?? It hasn't broken out forever. The only thing new I have been doing is:

1) Eliminated my occasional indulgence in dairy products

2) Started using Bare Minerals make-up

3) Started taking cod liver oil

........Anybody know what it could be????

Off to watch the Emmys, anybody else watching??

Julie,

I have no idea....shouldn't be the dairy as you weren't having it much.

Possibly makeup.

What brand of cod liver oil did you get?

Stephanie,

Good luck tomorrow.....please keep us updated.

      Is this celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      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

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      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.

      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?

      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/

      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.
