I love the way you two(Carla & Morgan) communicate through this board!!! :lol::lol:

Maybe I should get on MSN Messenger so I could have the odd conversation with my 17 yr old son!!

Love the abbreviation of 'Mo' too.

My Mum gets called that but her full names Maureen.

Hope everyone in R/ville is well??

Bye for now.... :D:D

Carrie,

Rachelville is our utopian village town that some of us have created to get away from the burdens of the real world.....no cc, perfect health, etc. Those who want to have jobs that are based on their hobbies/interests/real job skills. If you would like a job please let us know.

Welcome back. Hope you had a fun filled summer. :)

Morgan,

Good to see you! Love your new avatar. You look like you're having fun!

Rachel, that is her wash and wear hair ... or shall I just say "wear hair" as she seldom washes it, she just rolls out of bed looking like that! It's murder living with her!!! My hair actually looks much like hers (thick, but not as thick as hers) if I don't bleach it ... which is why I'm thinking of letting it grow out natural for a change. When it's bleached, it's all dried out looking.

Nikki, you gotta communicate with them via their favorite method. For Morgan it's now texts on the cell phone ... and I hate texts (but don't tell her, I just type much faster on the computer!!). She and I communicated via MySpace when she was still in High School, but that's not as popular for her anymore. Plus, when you do communicate with your kids the way they communicate with each other, you become the "cool" mom!! Plus, Morgan knows I hate talking on the phone.

It was actually Morgan's ex-boyfriend, and he was her ex-boyfriend at the time, too, who commented through myspace that I was cool! I've known him since he was about 10. Technically, it did not come from my own kids ... you will seem cool to his friends, maybe never to him though.

Wow...been quiet around gere lately. Well, I'm off for the weekend. Talk to you all on my return.

I should be looking forward to this trip to see my folks...the last run to see them before I go to Greenland next spring, but I just have a horrible feeling like my mother is going to "gluten" me. She's supportive to a point, but I don't think she truly understands what Celiac is. I am taking a small supply of my own food to snack on, but I hope all will be well.

Again, talk to you all next tuesday. :lol:

Well actually I washed my hair that day :rolleyes:

I didn't know you didn't like to talk on the phone, but honestly, I probably wouldn't care if I had known.....You're the one I talk to on the phone all the time. But I figured you didn't like to text, just bc it's more of my generation's thing B) But it's just too handy for me... I mean, if I'm in my room and on my computer I try to do work and check email, but when I walk, it's nice to be doing something.....texting :D Did that even make sense???

Yes, I'm having a lot of fun and making a lot of friends. I just took my first college exam about an hour ago :huh: I don't know how I did. That part wasn't so fun.

Hmmm, well, everyone else around our house knows I hate talking on the phone!!! :lol: I think :huh: Don't stop calling me though ... we don't overdo it ... all the time means a couple times per week!

I'm just really bad at texting ... takes sooo long.

Well, I knew you hated answering the phone, but I thought that was just bc it was never for you :P I'm getting faster at texting though...two hands help.

Oh, and raquetball is a blast. I'm quite terrible, but I'm having a lot of fun with it :D I'm slowly catching on.

Ryan,

Have as good a time as possible at your mom's. I know how you feel. My mom doesn't take this seriously and we've been glutened over at her house.

Make sure to take lots of safe snacks for yourself.

I totally agree.

I'm soooo not into texting. A short message is fine but when people are trying to have conversations via text messages...I just dont have the patience for it. I figure we could say everything so much faster over the phone and be done with it. :rolleyes:

Yeah, but could you say it during class?

And another thing, I quite often text when I am trying to study but need a break....if I call someone then I'll be on the phone too long, but if I text then it's just a few short periodical (is that the right word?) breaks.

Hi Ryan! Have a good visit with your folks, hope you don't get glutened :unsure:

I'm always one step behind, haven't gotten into the texting yet.........and maybe that's a very good thing :lol:

Send cyber hugs. I forgot somehow that milky way candy is not gluten-free. How could I be so stupid! No symptoms yet, I wa sso hungry at work I just grabbed them.... Unless I am wrong and the snack ones are gluten-free? I always get them confused with 3 musketeers

i'm really scared of the phone, no idea why.... but it just freaks me out, so i text a lot actually would be an understatement, me and my sisters convinced our dad to get the unlimited text messaging service cause it saves a lot of money

see i text to my friends sitting accross the room from me in class, when the class is boring.

Its so you can talk to people during class and then it sometimes makes it more interesting.

BUT i do pay attention in class and i only do it when i am bored, then i text my cousin in colorado and we can talk which is nice.

Texting definately has good applications. But it drives me nuts to have a conversation over texting when it could be handled differently. My husband's uncle would text me all the time and he just lives down the street ... I would say, just come over! It's fun to get them from Morgan, it lets me know what she's up to and I know she wouldn't call as often as she'd text.

I could be wrong cuz I'm just going by memory (which isnt the best) but I thought only the midnight milky ways were not gluten-free??? :unsure:

I've been on a million different elimination diets so I could just be extremely confused but you *might* be ok with the milky ways. ;)

I dont have my Delphi list here so cant check for you but I hope you stay symptom free. :)

Another drive by - havent been here is a while, real world interfering with my attempts to visit Rachelville. I had a chance to sneak in some replies to gfp posts - cant help but poke some fun.

Ryan - have fun visiting folks, bring more than a few snacks - bring gluten-free spagetti and sauce (recommendation from my son) ................. whatcha doing in Greenland?

The smell of tapioca bread is wafting thru my house right now, I bake to escape real life - know this sounds weird but baking is my therapy! :huh::rolleyes:

Started on diuretics today as kidneys aint what they used to be and swelling legs was annoying.

Maybe I need to make brownies too............ :rolleyes:

I want to move to Rachelville in real life for respite care and pretend I am well :blink:

Ok, nuff of that.... it is supposed to SNOW here later this week, .....what the heck :o ....I had kids try on boots from last year - looks like I will be shopping at Wal Mart this week...... is it considered bad parenting to send your kids to school in runners during a snow storm? :lol::lol:

I also predate fax machines and personal computers and cell phones... had a 20 year old burst out laughing when I said I knew what thermal paper was and that I had used DIAL phones and I had played pac man !!

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.
