Back at the end of June we had terrible flooding up here (central upstate NY). My older daughter (the one on the far left) was looking out the window, watching the debris float by on the stream beside our house. She yelled come quick look! We all ran to see what she saw, including my 2 year old, who just so happened to be on the potty at the time. My wife came in late, saw what you see there and decided to preserve it for "posterity" so to speak...

:D I just noticed she dosen't have any pants on! :o

I'm originally from Syracuse :) Our families are still there, so we are up there a few times a year. Love the fall in central NY--when our kids were young, we'd take drives out to "apple country"--Tully, and around there.

Many years ago, my husband and I ate at a very nice Italian restaurant on the main street (I think) in Oneonta. I wish I could remember the name....

I hope I didn't offend any Buffalonians. See, it's kind of a standing joke up here as we used to get the Buffalo news quite often on Channel 7 - Eyewitness News! You guys were famous for your house fires because so many houses are made of wood.......

It was meant lightheartedly........ ;)

What the folks in Western NY lack in imagination, they more than make up for in die-hard support of their beloved Buffalo Bills...

You guys are crackin' me up -- but I TOTALLY missed Alfred. What a shame . . . I would have enjoyed a little medical "banter" with him. He sounds like one of those people that put fake blood and a piece of liver in a plastic bag, then place it in their hand so that you can't see it. They put their hands on whatever area they "feel" you're having trouble, pop the plastic bag, pull out the piece of liver covered in fake blood, and "voila" -- you're CURED!!!!!!!

But... maybe it's TRUE and we can all be healed and eat all the foods we haven't been able to!!

HA HA HA

My son-in-law got an email from a guy who wanted to buy his car... and wanted him to accept a "cashier's" check for twice what the car was being sold for. He was to cash the check and mail the remainder back to the guy.

My SIL wrote back to him and asked, "Sounds good... would you like all my banking information and credit card numbers too???"

The guy wrote back and said, "You stupid American... this is serious."

Lynne - sorry for you, this Loser Alfred doesn't banter or discuss, just posts his scam info.... :lol:

Luvs2 Eat - - those international money order scams are HUGE. I get emails all the time from these people...also they were all over Craig's list (there are warnings when placing an ad now about these scams) - - I remember I listed my PIANO on Craig's List and people from all over the world wrote "about your wonderful item and you sound like such kind honest person would love to do business with and please, what is cost of your item" (which was listed) and I would take great pleasure in replying.....OH YES!!! This makes so much sense, to SHIP a PIANO to Africa!! I am so excited....the piano is now TWO MILLION DOLLARS and I am so excited you'll be the owner!

(I am easily amused) :)

      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?
