UGH! back from the best weekend I've had in a veeeeeeeery long time and now I'm in full denial that I'm throwing a partay at my house this weekend. Annnnnnd the inlaws are coming to stay. At least I'll have my dd back. She's been 400 miles away with said inlaws having the time of her life. I told her she's going to get super constipated and scream and cry the next time she has to take a poo, but go ahead and have another flippin soda, some more candy and go to bed at midnight. Hope the MIL can handle what's gonna happen :rolleyes: Bad enough that the day we dropped her off we fed her lunch at 1230 and they didn't feed her again until 830 that night. Seriously?? She was crying bc her stomach hurt so bad. I told the MIL that the kids normally eat every 3 hours or so and I always keep snacks with me. I think she learned her lesson on that one! On the bright side, I've been having a wonderful time with Max, trying to make up for the fact that his sister is away having all the fun and he's stuck here with me, except I still make him eat healthy food with a milkshake or icecream bar thrown in there once a day :P Tonight I make 3 different kinds of cookie dough AND a cherry ameretto cake for him to try ;)

I do wish I had a picture of yesterday though.... He went rollerskating and he can't skate worth beans, so they have these little walkers for them to use. Soooooo cute and funny! :lol:

Getting really scared here. It appears we're right in the path of Irene (I may just have to change my name after this storm!). They are comparing this storm to Katrina, eek! My city just issued mandatory evacuations for everyone in low lying areas. we just moved here and I can't figure out if I'm in a low lying area from the storm surge maps. My area is in the "unstudied" part of the map. Hubby has to work on friday and is on call on Saturady so we can't leave the area. Might be going to a shelter or hotel though. I will try to keep y'all updated but if I don't either we went to a shelter or lost power. Prayers appreciated please.

Oh no, Non-hurricane Irene ( your new name)! Pack up enough of your food for a week and then some. Good luck!

Could go to the in-laws. Take a trailer full of essentials to share!

LOL! I'd rather ride out the storm! I'm well stocked on food and water. Couldn't get the batteries I needed though so we will be using candles if the power goes out at night.

LOL! I wish I could sleep, but I can't sleep when it storms for some reason. I love to watch it rain but I just can't go to sleep. Guess I will have to use that as an excuse to cuddle with hubby. :D

Trying to post some lovely cocktails but I think the iPad has drunk them. Weird things are happening, now. The forum is shrinking and stretching . May have to wait for it to sleep it off.

      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?
