Ha! No problem on the updates :D

Yeah, about this magical power--I musta been behind the door when it was passed out! :P

I was hoping that Peter wouldn't reveal our magical powers. I actually posted that, but edited because there is always someone who jumps up your arsenal.

Moi? I don't tell tales out of school. Clearly, veggienft (see the Open Original Shared Link) believes we have far more power than we actually do.

But we do what we can. B)

Guys sorry for the delay in posting my organic answer....I am simply pooped from work and I just died on the couch when I got home....

Anyway the reason I asked about the Organic is another member posted in a different thread that It is stupid to not buy organic.....this member always rubs me the wrong way and I just wondered how many people do buy organic....

anyway off to bed night sillies and thanks for always letting me vent :)

There's 4 or 5 members who flat-out irritate the crap out of me. :P I generally do the Jess thing, and don't let myself reply. :rolleyes:

As for eating organic... yeah, like I said... I'm looking for ways to shrink my grocery bill, not inflate it. <_<

AGREED on the irritating people. I had a much longer post bemoaning my annoyance with so many non-Sillyville posts/posters lately but it was kind of crazily rambling and a little too angry I think so I quickly got rid of it.

I'm pretty much the same with everyone else here on the whole organic issue. I occasionally buy organic things but certainly don't go out of my way to do so. Saying that it is stupid to not buy all organic stinks of elitism and blurs what should be a clear line between personal opinion and scientific fact and those are two things that really get on my nerves.

Morning, Sillies!

Well, at 6:45 this morning, I hear loud clomping around and banging on my roof - - yep, the guys are back, there's presently NO rain falling, so off they go again. I quietly went over to my back hedge at 6:00 and interrupted Mr. Chow in full Early Sun Pose. I asked him if he knew any pose that would keep rain away....like the classic aboriginal rain dance. Nope. He GREETS rain, if you can imagine.......what in hell good is that? <_<:rolleyes:

Moi? I don't tell tales out of school. Clearly, veggienft (see the Open Original Shared Link) believes we have far more power than we actually do.

I dunno, PeOter.......there's something so..... . .calmly strong and all-encompassing about you mods.....Patti just RADIATED a silent power when we met. :DB) I really do need a couple of you in my day to day life, to delete regrettable said things, to issue warnings when they are clearly needed, and to report my kids to me when they are sneakily doing heinous things..... <_<:lol:

Glad to see you, Alex! How's married life? (If anything belongs on a Silly thread, it's that). How is Colin?

Organic food......crazy at times. Half the time one isn't positive the produce really IS organic...pesticides from the neighboUring, normal farm can blow over and "infect" the pristine organic crops......and fer all dat money. Organic bananas - - 99 cents a pound! :o

Morning Sillies!

Well I am glad it is not me who also has trouble with some people. I understand everyone is entitled to their own views and opinions but some people around here push their views and that is exactly how my MIL is with religion and such....it is very annoying, so annoying in fact that she lives 5 minutes down the road and I have not seen her since Memorial Day.

Its finally Friday!!!!!! And tonight we are going to the casino...cross your fingers that we win something....LOL! Guess it is time to start some work. Alot of people are out of the office today including the boss, so I may check in more frequently....when the cats away the mice will play!

I agree. It's really, seriously irritating.

Well said!!! I can't stand it when people state their personal opinion as fact. It seriously drives me up the wall. The arrogance... makes me want to barph.

Well, the boys had a friend sleep over last night-- my friend's son who I was telling you guys about. This was the first time they've had a friend sleep over. My boys slept over there one night last month. I have to say, last night wasn't nearly as bad as I feared. :P

They were all in sleeping bags watching movies by 10:30, and konked out by midnight. And they didn't get up at the butt crack of dawn, either. I consider myself lucky. :lol:

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @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/
