OH!!! ROFL!! :lol:

<tom, palms up, slowly backs away, keeping a wary eye on his adversary>

"Take 1 . . . .. .roll film"

<Marlon Perkins voiceover>

"When confronted by the recently glutened celiacticus clovisivus, it is paramount to avoid further agitation. As we see here, tom's doing his best to avoid eye contact during retreat. . . . . Let's watch what happens next. . . . "

:huh: oh myyyyyyyyyyyyy gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Listen Ptaum. You are just wildly overanalyzing and overthinking my glutening. and yes, it WAS a glutening - - we all know the distinct signs :ph34r:

OK, Clara Peller, "where's the gluten?".

Seriously, does artificial vanilla have gluten?

And dammit :lol: it's NOT :lol: "wildly overanalyzing and overthinking" :P:lol: to wonder where the gluten is!!

Molecular mimickry can make the immune system think annatto (or is it just the coloring) IS gluten.

Um, halloo? anyone here but me think that Tom needs to introduce just a leet-le bit of soy back into his diet? :blink:

ohhhhhhhhh bah ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: (x2)

C'mon Clara . . . . . "where's the gluten?"

P.S. Bah! Only my second over-emoticonizing ever! And this time I say it's Dingy that put it over.

P.P.S. Heyyyyyy Susan's changing avatars too quick!

That >dingo<>Dingy<>dingo< trio was barely seen! (And a reminder of my pre-gluten-free eyesight)

P.P.P.S. Was Nugget-Nirvana achieved?

Mmmm I did like a good nuggtasm in the old days.

P.P.P.P.S. Did I hear we have a reader not neighborly enough to say hello? Awww, the door's always open!

<hushed whisper> ladies and gentleman, it appears there may be an attempt to tie the rarely challenged record quintuple-post postscript . . . . .there's a buzz spreading thru the crowd . . . they appreciate the significance of the moment . . . .

Grrrrr double post!

I'd barely hit [ADD REPLY] when my sister called and net stopped!!

She did have a funny story however.

Yesterday, they (her & boys 8 & 3 1/2) were at a friend's who has horses. And the littler guy is scared of 'em.

At some point, my sister, who's allergic to horses but loaded w/ antihistamines & whatever, goes to pet a horse's nose while holding Aidan's hand, hoping to calm his fears.

"See Aidy? They're nice & gentle & . ." <BLAST!!> a massive horse sneeze is ALL over her. ROFL She says <gag> "black boogers & dripping snot everywhere" and the kids and her friend can't stop roaring. :lol: Said she was exTREMEly glad their bags were in the car so she could change clothes.

I wanted it to be on youtube . . . . . .

So a few weeks ago I was having some really bad days and I really wanted to go out and stuff myself-preferably with beer and onion rings, but anything would have done.

Well, I can't do that anymore, so in a desperate attempt to substitute in a new bad habit instead of facing what was bothering me, I bought some lacy undies. As the totally mad lark, I included a pair of thongs (42 yo here).

Finally today I put them on, trusting in what people have told me: The wedgie feeling goes away and they become the most comfortable thing you've ever worn.

Now, it's almost 11am, and I still feel like I have a wad of material stuffed in my heiny. Just when does this feeling go away?????

:lol::lol::lol: It goes away. The nice thing about them is, no panty lines ... and your butt looks much better in jeans than with regular undies. After a while, they'll be all you wear. Don't try to sleep in them until you're used to them ... you'll have nightmares about being ripped in two.

:lol: Jess - - you nutty girl - - I've been wearing a version them since BEFORE there were thongs. Yup, in high school (uh, late 70's folks) I DID in fact BUNCH UP my knickers into a wedge and they were very distractingly noticeable to me in me crack. :ph34r: But I could not stand VPL, even back then. so.......been wearing thongs since FOREVER, and, if you get the right kind, you won't notice them at all after a while.

Doesn't it depend on what the panty lines look like? I mean, if they're granny panties, do you still get the same thrill seeing the lines?

Hehehehehe looks like 7 now w/ the way YOU were talkin, "new mom".

New?

Did you think I was the one with the gray hair??? No, I'm the one in the orange shirt ... the gray haired one is my grandmother.

Or were you referring to me "mothering" you by telling you to eat right. Sorry, I don't even refer to my hubby as one of the children! ;) So, no, it's only six kids for me. I'd like another, but the Lyme won't allow it.

Pooh! My recommendation - - Trader Joe's Rice PUdding. OMG, could eat GALLONS of it. Unless of course you must avoid dairy, but I think you're okay with it?

      @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?

      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.
