Torture, indeed. :lol: but useful, perhaps?

and here's something to ponder......

why is it that knickers are called "underwear" in the US, and not knickers? Knickers here refers to.....well, those kinds of pants that pilgrims wore, maybe, that ended just below the knee? :lol:

wait......what ARE knickers here? :huh:

and just WHO decided and at WHAT time that Americans would no longer use the term knickers but underwear or underpants or panties for the unmentionables? You know I really would sit and research this now but am heading into make some bread and then a necklace and well, my neck and back are killing me and also I have a GAS BOMB that was the size of Texas when I awoke this morning (but is now perhaps the size of - New Hampshire maybe?) :huh:

Indeed much knicker pondering and musing

Here (uk) it's underwear, knickers for girls, pants for blokes (as in y fronts :ph34r: ) or boxers for blokes (jockeys?)

I always imagined the knicker to the knee is a pantaloon or bloomers -- (gotta try them - are we talking ultimate comfort but total complete and utter passion killers? :unsure::lol: )

:lol: :lol:

But would one wear a thong under said bloomers? :lol: Indeed, pure comfort, let's just walk around in pantaloons. Methinks one wore what we call pantaloons in this country in the era of "Gone with the Wind" and such, under those big horrid hoop skirts. :huh: (of course, the hoop skirt certainly could hide all sorts of ills - big butts, gas-bloated bellies, knocked knees, flabby thighs, and the dreaded front-butt) :lol:

WE call the men's undies boxers or briefs, as you may know. but not PANTS or Y-pants. :lol:

much knicker pondering in a busy afternoon, I run back to the computer in betwixt making a necklace when my eyes strain too much. :lol:

a girlfriend has demanded a mojito and is arriving soon.............

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?

I wouldn't have any trouble gaining weight if I were allowed to have SUGAR!!!! <_<

I do make "fudge" out of coconut oil, raw cacao beans, agave syrup, almond butter, vanilla, and salt. I eat it with a big bowl of berries covered in whipped cream (made from whipping cream and agave syrup).

Darn, I'm out of fudge tonight, I'll have to settle for berries and whipped cream.

of course, the hoop skirt certainly could hide all sorts of ills - gas-bloated bellies

Are you forgetting the corset? :blink: Ouch.

Good evening, all, from Cheriton, nr Aylresford!

A beautiful truly English town an hour east of London..just checking up on you all. We've spent an incredible week in London, then two nights here in an Inn that was built in the 16th century, then on to Paris for a week. I miss all your quick wit. Nikki, you have an incredible city here. I love it, and am so glad I came!

Emily, I'm so glad you didn't forget about us during your Europe trip!! How nice! Glad you're having a good time.

Morgan just reminded me ... it's 2PM and I forgot to eat lunch ... if it weren't for all the pills I take in a day, I'd never think of eating!

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?

What the VPL "looks like"? Ah no no, it depends on what the *girl* looks like! :P

Or were you referring to me "mothering" you by telling you to eat right.

Bee Eye En Gee Oh !!

Mmmmmmm I'm at the beautiful park in middle of Los Gatos downtown. <sigh>

Farmer's Market today too.

Might live w/in walking distance soon!!

Been actually surprised that something like that is 'affordable'!! :o:):):);)

Sough-sie? Does the entire "artificial vanilla = gluten" question have to die on the vine? :unsure:

Will I need to wait thru 20+ pageloads on the ph to try to figure it out for myself?

TOM!!!! you HAVE to let that one go....all I know is that I was wildly sick on Tues., and the only new thing was that nut bar. those were the only suspect ingredients.

why oh WHY are you still obsessing over this...............for all I know I picked up a parasite by accidentally drinking the wrong water (from their spigot and not the bottled water we brought)....

:( grrrrr fine . .. . . . droppin' it like a wormy apple.

The thing is, I 85% expect to be able to eat like you and every other 'gluten-free only' celiac before too long. Except that unlike many, I expect to never *get* glutened.

To do this, I'll need to know every possible source of gluten.

A quick look revealed no sign of ppl believing artificial vanilla isn't gluten-free. A few types of gluten-free cookies even include artificial vanilla in them.

Of course besides the practical side of not glutening mySELF someday w/ a nut bar, . . . .I know ya KNOW I can't help but try to solve a puzzle. (dontcha?)

<btw that WAS 30-35% less>

Oh how I wish I was somewhere I had to MIND THE GAP!!!!! yay for travel!

Tom- Sweetness, you must understand my brain hurts ever so much and I can't read anything. Oh the ache!!!!

Here's a silly for you:

The doctor that had been seeing an 80 year old woman for most of her life finally retired.

At her next checkup, the new doctor told her to bring a list of all her medications that had been prescribed for her. As the young doctor was looking through these, his eyes grew wide as he realized she had a prescription for birth control pills.

"Mrs. Smith, do you realize these are BIRTH CONTROL pills?"

"Yes, they help me sleep at night."

"Mrs. Smith, I assure you there is absolutely NOTHING in these that could possible help you sleep."

She reached out and patted the young doctor's knee. "Yes, dear, I know that. But every morning, I grind one up and mix it in the glass of orange juice that my 16 year old granddaughter drinks. And believe me, it helps me sleep at night!"

I think "mind the gap" has something to do with the Tube (that underground transportation thing-y everyone rides in London)??? :huh: Nikkeigh - help us - -

Chicago is supposed to be in September. I just don't really care and it seems like too much effort (a three-night trip at a FABULOUS hotel).......I don't know what to wear in Chicago. :lol: :lol: :lol: Probably not my usual scroungy stuff and flip-flops.

um, what the heck would I do there? (other than museums)......as of now I have decided I don't even care......talk me into going? :) I am SO not a city girl.........harrumph......

Ugg. I just hit the wrong key and LOST my post ... about trying on a Van Cleef and Arpel's 1.1 million dollar necklace! :o BTW, I was wearing designer jeans, Memphisto shoes, and a white t-shirt. I was talking about the ape at the zoo ... there was just glass between us and the ape ... the ape teased my little sister, hysterical.

I love the museums! I'd like to spend more time at the art museum.

The Magnificent Mile is a fun place to shop, and is fun at night. I love the street musicians. My favorite was a group of four sisters ... a string quartet playing classical music on the street to put themselves through college!

I also remembered that I was there the summer before last ... I played flute at Cardinal George's Mass!!!! It was SO cool. The other flute player was a music major and was VERY good. She was supposed to do a solo for the offertory ... she and the piano player were going to practice it after regular practice was over.

The morning of the Mass she says, "Did they tell you?" "Uh, tell me what?" "We're playing the offertory together because it was too difficult for the piano player!

Hello?? What makes them think I can play it?! So she says, "Do you want to play through it before Mass starts?" Uh, no, I'd rather sight read, right. We go to a back room and run through it a couple times, then play it together with no accompaniment. It was one of those where she played 8 bars, then I played 8 bars, then we played together.

Anyway, it was a fun trip! I would never do that right now with my braces. :( I can't wait to get them off ... the only time they bug me is for my flute playing.

      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?
