Judy, so sorry you have had such a difficult summer :( I'm glad things are looking up for a change :)

:lol: About trying them in the darkness of my own house. I will probably go as far as trying them on and that might be it- we'll see. But I am so glad so many of you are so enthusiastic and have such a deep love for your crocs.

I will be with Andrea, and represent for the sneakers. In my case I live in running shoes and cross-trainers, ooh ooh and flip flops (I was scolded for saying thongs last time :lol: )

I'm not sure why but I've never owned a pair of converse. :huh:

It seems like I've always liked the high top ones but just never bought myself a pair....hmmm...one of these days I'll have to get myself a pair. Unlike the Crocs....I could definately be seen in public wearing converse. ;)

:lol:

Julie...yup, no high heels for this girl....my feet just werent made to be all arched up and unnatural like that. I'll keep both of my flat feet on the ground thank you very much. :P

Thanks Patti!

MMMmm,very retro-yes I'd wear them with jeans (I live in jeans)and more importantly they are practical :lol:

Actually,they look like something my son would wear (he's 17yrs)

I'll wear high heels, too. I have such a high arch that I find them rather comfortable. If I'm not wearing heels, I'm either wearing moccasins or Memphistos (kind of like Birkenstocks, but mine are black patent leather with rhinstones, and they have a gel sole instead of cork).

I don't have any Converse, but I have a pair of white, low-top look-alikes. I wear them a lot, too, but usually only when I've been working out.

Nikki--Of course you're not too old to wear Converse! I think they'd be cute with your jeans B)

My feet are pretty spoiled since I discovered Birkenstocks :ph34r: I wear the sandals all summer (I have many colors/patterns) and I wear their clogs in the colder weather. I do, of course, have other shoes and boots--but those are my mainstays!

Oh Judy--I'm so sorry about the garden club :( I know how you were looking forward to getting back there. I seem to remember you having trouble with Hershey's before--maybe it was that. Hershey's gets me every time--I think we must be sensitive to the CC from there. Or maybe the crackers :unsure:

Don't be sad--go outside on this beautiful (for a change!) day, and make your gardens even more beautiful than they already are :D Set your sights on the next meeting--you've come so far, you'll get there for sure!! ;)

I took that other pic down--I looked ticked off in it, once I saw it up on the board, I didn't want people to think I was unfriendly :lol:

So sweet of you. You know how much i wanted to get into the 'real world'

Just can't be far from the potty right now...

just makes me so mad. I should have known better>

Yes probably the 2 together did it big time.

haven't felt this bad in a long time so yes we have come far to have to remember how bad it was.

please put your yellow shirt picture back up I just loved that one.

anyone who sees your posts will know your not unfriendly... :) I liked the blue shirt but loved the smile on the yellow shirt.

eye dr just called and wants to see me at 1:00 today.

lord will it ever end.

don't want this to be a 'downer post' at least the sun is shinning and it is a beautiful day.

thanks for caring

love you

Judy- I am so sorry to hear that you havent been feeling well. I hope you feel better soon. The weather is getting better, not too hot, not too cold.

I have never worn a pair of Converse high tops. I did wear Vans though. Ironically they had poka dots on them, colored red, blue and yellow, the colors of a Wonder bread package. Boy were they UGLY! :lol:

I am still on the look out for the Crocs. I havent seen them and I am trying to get it out of my dad where he bought them so I can go and get them.

Judy,

What is the garden club? I'm sorry you missed it and I hope you feel better. Just getting outside in the fresh air can do wonders. :)

by the way...you could never ever be "downer" here and speaking of pics...where is yours?? I liked that last one you had up. :)

Patti...did I miss your new avatar?? I remember a yellow sweater...is that the one Judy's talking about? :unsure:

My mom is still really wanting me to put up a diferent picture of me. She says its her favorite....but HELLO...theres a toilet located directly behind my head! I keep telling her I dont want a pic of me and the toilet...as my avatar! :lol:

Rachel, I vote for you and the toilet. After telling us all about this picture, you really need to show it to us! Plus, it's a very appropriate place to have a picture of a toilet!

Rachel--The famous "toilet picture"--is there anyway to crop it so the toilet isn't so obvious? I'd love to see it--sounds intregueing :D Being a Celiac board, the toilet won't bother anyone, anyway. We're used to those! <_<:lol:

I put up a different picture of myself for about 5 minutes, and didn't like it so I went back to the flower. Judy was quick, though, and caught it while it was there! :lol:

Those Crocs sound perfect for gardening/working outside. I'm gonna look into a pair!

      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?
