I thought you were coming to gluten-free colonize Colorado with me? :(

when we lived in the Sacramento area, they were talking about splitting off from the US.

Yep the split in two thing failed...back then our economy was very strong and was something like 8th biggest economy when compared with other countries....that was before our state went broke ;)

I could live at elevation in Colorado : )

Ahh, I'm planning a big move to Ohio to be near my relatives.  The wonderful gluten-free island kingdom doesn't seem to have materialized yet, so Ohio it is.  I don't know about Kansas tho Crayon.  It's kinda close to the Yosemite super-volcano area for my taste.  Deep fried celiacs anyone?  Plus they have those big-foot things in Colorado I think.  Of course Ohio is sorta close to the big East coast quake they say is overdue too.  Dang, where is that island kingdom?

 

And yes, Crayon,  I notice them!  Wink Wink! :)

Nothing like an overplayed song that gets stuck in your head to turn you into a crazy person with a bad attitude in a snap. :lol: :lol:

When my friend was visiting, we were both reading and enjoying the sunshine. That song came on the radio.

 

When it was over, my very calm and usually very upbeat pal said "oh thank gawwwdd....I f--ing hate that song!". 

 

We both burst out laughing at the thought that she was actually irritated by someone singing about being happy.

 

Hubs hates it too. 

 

I don't get it. I like it-- and turn I it up loudly when I am alone in the car--and sing at the top of my lungs. 

 

And anytime anyone else sees me moving and shaking in the car at a red light, they smile and start waving at me. (either that or they think

I am having a seizure of some sort) 

 

One time, driving to Florida, somewhere in the middle of Georgia, i was dancing in my seat to some energetic song and  gesticulating like mad

doing the "swim"...pointing my arms all over the place, ...

and this car load of women (looked like a mom and her 4 girls) pulled up along side us and they started doing the same thing I was doing...it was hilarious!

 

That amused us all for about 10 miles until they had to take an exit. 

 

The hubs just shakes his head at me. What can I say? As Colleen says. I'm happy happy. 

 

Beats the shyte out of being miserable miserable. ^_^

Sounds like Ohio is going to get crowded!  :)  Visitors are welcome or maybe a meet-up somewhere.  I don't think there really is a Canfield in Ohio though.  Sounds like somewhere we toss our empty beers cans on Friday night.  Er, well, that's about anywhere we happen to be driving by tho.  Ever try to hit a road sign with a beer bottle?  That can fill up a Friday or Saturday night drive with fun.  We have some hills and a little crick with minnows and snapping turtles to play with.  And the coyotes and boars and bears are moving in too they say.

 

I wonder where Oscar is?  He always seems so happy and cheerful.  I thot sure he would weigh in on this thread and let us know how happy it makes him.

No prob with a DD Leesur.  A DD might actually help the aim! :)  The beer throwing was 40 years ago, they might have come up with some more interesting things to do by now.

 

If you all aren't sure you are happy, you get happy by traveling to zombo.com.  There you can do anything.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
