Well.....here's the latest in the hospital saga:

I was asking my dad how he's been sleeping, as he's had some real trouble since he's been admitted having a good night's sleep.....and this, of course, is so important in his recovery. Rehabilitation is next to impossible with a patient who is only averaging an hour of sleep every night.

So, Dad told the doctor on rounds this morning that he really needed his help. "On nights that I get some sleep, I'm having a recurring dream where I'm lying here in this bed, and suddenly these three beautiful, naked women come striding into the room. They pull the curtain around the bed, and start tearing my hospital gown off me".

The doctor said something like, "So, what happens?"

And my dad told the doc that he keeps pushing the naked women away.

"Well", the doc finally said, "What would you like me to do?"

And my dad said, "BREAK MY ARMS!"

:lol:

See, my father would actually say this to some unsuspecting doctor who doesn't recognise him. He really would.

I just wish I could BE there, next time. .. . . . . . .

Ptaoughmghmn, may you have a day completely devoid of faux grepping.. . . . ...I hear ya on that one, and just HATE when that happens. . . . .. :rolleyes::P

A superb day in sports. . . . ....the Ottawa Senators have now won five in a row, and continue a thrilling charge for the playoffs (um.....as if, but one lives in hope). .. . . .

AND.....Michelle in a thrilling charge of her own, now in fifth with three dropped dogs. Yep, it is early to be travelling with only eleven, but if anyone can do it, it's HER!! :)

Dastardly David Dalton, who kept stealing third place from her last year, is now in 13th place. And my Jamaican hero Newton Marshall has slipped to 21st.

Man, he must be feeling the cold.. . . . . ...

*Some* of us don't know what "grepping" is :rolleyes: . Perhaps someone could explain? Just for the benefit of those in the dark....you see :D

Hmph! Barking dogs.....one of those irritating problems of communal life! Don't know if you should call animal control....dog warden....sherriff....the dogs owner (although the owner apparently was not concerned that his dog was having a problem). Hope you can get this resolved.

OMG. . . . something that I am just SO INTIMATELY familiar with. .. . . . :lol::rolleyes:

grep is a Open Original Shared Link text search utility originally written for Open Original Shared Link. The name is taken from the first letters in global / regular expression / print, a series of instructions for the Open Original Shared Link text editor. Open Original Shared Link The grep command searches files or Open Original Shared Link globally for lines matching a given Open Original Shared Link, and prints them to the program's Open Original Shared Link.

Now, just as I feel my eyes completely glazing over and my mind priming for explosion, we have this:

The term "grep" can be used as a verb, meaning to search

      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/

      By Jane02 · Posted

      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?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
