Catch up show tomorrow @ 9PM EST!

I am soooooooo Sorry to hear this! :(

Where are you? :huh:

:lol:

In Australia

It's ok, we're used to getting shows late and avoiding all the spoilers we can. It just sucks because I love the show so much! We were lucky enough to be in the US when it started airing in 2004 so that's when I got hooked too, and when we got back to Australia we had to wait and wait and wait.

G'day to you then!

Did the season just end for you?

On a non-spoiler nome, I swear that Ethan has a son in my daughter's pre-k class. I walk past this guy every morning (the dad - Ethan I swear), he's about 8' tall and is the spitting image of William Mapother. I keep waiting for him to pick me up by my neck and bang me against the wall! Where's super Jack when you need him?

That's like 7 months to wait! That's cruel! :angry:

I wouldn't be able to not visit the boards and ruin it for myself. The summer hiatus is bad enough, and that's only about 4 mos. for us.

Cool blog by the way. I hope you have fun at the gluten-free convention. :)

I can't believe my self-control, but I'm not going to read it! I want to be surprised. I did see Matt Fox on the news today--he said that we're "not going to believe the first 5 minutes".

ROFLMAO!!!

Please, clue me in .... we used to live out in the country and were too busy driving into town all the time to have cable, so I had never seen this show before last night. I was very LOST!!! What is this supposed to be about? I mean, a guy being held prisoner under an aquarium ... other prisoners being treated like laboratory animals ... what's the idea behind the show?

This is one show where there really is no catching up! It has so many twists and subplots that to catch up you need to rent the Season 1&2 dvds. You would love it!

A little slow, but watching Matthew Fox make those twisted/tormented faces makes me laugh at innappropriate times. That character is a nut job!

I really liked the opening episode.

Don't want to give anything away to anyone who didn't see it so don't read below**************

Ben is creepy.

And the blonde, the one working with Charlie, have we seen her before?? She looks familiar

She was on ER for a while. I think she was a lesbian shrink. (I'm not kidding). She was hooked up to Dr. Weaver (the gimp) for a while.

I remember her from ER .

For some reason I thought she was Desmond's girl friend we saw in the flash back episodes last season.

Ok, this week, I took a peek :ph34r:

It will be good to get back to the "regulars" back on the beach--last week was interesting, though.

Henry Gale/Ben has a pointy little face. He scares me a little :unsure:

OMG, I missed half of the show last night! My daughter decided to throw up at about 9:15 and i was cleaning up until about 9:40 :( . I usually tape it, but when I got back to the tv the tape must have ended because it had been spit out of the vcr...gotta get TiVo <_<

Olivia is feeling much better today, now if I could only get in my "way back machine" and see what i missed :P

Poor Olivia :( Glad she's feeling better today.

They told the story of Sun and how she had the affair--we saw some of it last year. Her father caught the two of them together and ordered Jin to kill him. Jin warned him, but didn't kill him--but the guy jumped out the window with the necklace he had offered Sun in his hand. Guess he really loved her...

Sawyer and Kate were made to work in the rockpile all day--Sawyer kissed Kate, and was shocked by the guard for it. The female guard called Sawyer by his real first name--James.

Pointy face introduced himself "properly" to Jack. Said he's lived there all of his life (!) And if Jack cooperates, he will take Jack home.

You saw the end, right--where Sun was on the boat and Colleen and the others came on?

Way Back Machine :lol:

I watched it again last night ... the second show I've seen. So, did all these people end up on this island from the same plane crash? I know, basic question, the other story lines are a bit easier to pick up on.

      @catnapt, I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them. Do you pressure cook your beans? Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking? Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production. Do...

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.
