Robotics update:

Did pretty good today. 10th out of 56 with 2 more matches to go tomorrow. Had the high scor of the day at 90 points but then someone got 96. Had one round where we were down one of the 3 robots, plus the other robot on our alliance didn't run.

We won a judge decided award tonight! The Control Award! Something about the people with the silver hats controlling the game.

I misread the standings of the mushers in the Iditarod a couple of days ago - - thinking Michelle was in ninth, I was over the moon, but she was really in TWENTY-ninth, having started in the 39 spot. Now she's in nineteenth, so beginning to steadily move up. .. .she's still got 15 dogs pulling, which is terrific.. .. .... B)

Fun should always be the goal. Even making it as far as you did is amazing. Those kids are amazing (as is the parental chaperon).

P.S. My first husband and I actually went to a resort where the bed was a red velvet heart with a mirror over it and the jacuzzi was a martini glass. Those were the days of my youth (pre cottage cheese)

Ohhhh, dear. . . . .. . . :unsure: :unsure: :unsure::(

Horrific earthquake on the northeast coast of Japan that has massive tsunami warnings affecting all countries of the Pacific Rim.. . . ..

I'm thinking immediately of our Rah-shyellle, who just got to Hawaii and would have been evacuated a few hours ago... . . ...the waves are expected to hit there within the next half-hour..... . . ..are Soooozle and Jooodie on or near the coast? Don't believe so... . . ....Shrooomie, youse guys are bracing for another bit of earthly sublimity, as are the Aussies....

Gawd, so many potentially effected.. . . . ..

Gnick, you're safe way over and up there! And I am, but my relatives out in Victoria have likely evacuated...

Praying for all of you on the West Coast and Canada (and of course Japan). It boggles the mind how muchdestruction can happen in a matter of moments!!!!!

Love and prayers to all- stay safe!!!!!

Made it to Utah. Went OT the little grocery - no hard cider! No wine! No wodka! Only glutinous beer! Couldn't find a liqour store anywhere. Probably wasn't open on Sun night anyway!

Inconsiderate Hub is drinking Polygamy Porter. It's motto: why have just one?

That's the problem with Utah - you have to find a state-run liquor store ---- when it's open :ph34r: On our trip to the high southwest spent time in the boondocks of Utah, and on the Navajo reservation (where there wasn't even beer - this was in our glutinous days), and got quite thirsty. :P

We was coming the other way, across US 50, and there wasn't much there either :unsure: - the loneliest road in the U. S. of A ('cept we ran into a traffic jam cos some airforce pilot had accidentally dropped "da bom" on the roadside. :blink: (unexploded)

The Navaho Nation is dry. It covers more than half of Arizona and parts of other neighboring states.

Utah might as well be dry. The laws there are very restrictive.

BYOB.

      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/
