This thread is like the best birth control reading ever.

Both of mine were all natural too. J and my mom were begging the nurses to call an anethesiologist for me, but I refused. DD was born 20 minutes after they broke my water and DS was born in 1 push--I went from contractions being comfortable at 9 minutes apart to no minutes apart and the nurse was yelling for me not to push. Dr ran in, caught him and that was it! I got to cut his cord, nurse him, cuddle him, everything, before J came into the room! He missed the whole thing-and the sad part was that he was in the hospital! The loud speakers apparently don't work in the cafeteria ;)

Wow--so phast that he missed the whole thing! :o

I did my first with no meds at all. Only one dose of Demerol with the second during the labor part.

Now I remember! They had an earthshake in Oklahoma today. The lady at the grocery said her daughter is in Oregon and they have been warned to get supplies. They are expecting a 9.0 earthquake. Any of you Pacific Northwest residents heard this?

they had an earthquake in Oklahoma but we're supposed to get one in Oregon too :unsure: that's random :P

I haven't heard anything and I'm in Portland right now. We've had the radio on all day too. I'll do some digging...

Sorry, I forgot you weren't there! I feel I take you all with me everywhere. The grocery lady said her folks live in OK and just had an earthquake. Then she said her daughter in Oregon said they were reporting that the ""geographical signs" were pointing to an earthquake.

All I can find is that no one thinks we are prepared. Especially for the coast-apparently no one is prepared for a tsunami. That reminds me, I need to get some groceries....

Actually, I just wanna make sure I'm on the right side of the Interstate bridge if it happens. I do NOT want to swim the Columbia River to get home!!

When we lived in Sacramento. Ca, we waited for the big one to hit San Fran so we could have beach front property!

The Oracle is being serious (yeah, occasionally I am not trying to be phunny).

A quake of 9.0 severity in a populated area would be devastating. Quakes of that magnitude in recorded history have all been subduction megathrust quakes where tectonic plates slide. The last one on that scale in North America was a 9.2 with the epicenter south of Anchorage, AK, in 1964. The Pacific plate slid under the North American plate by 23 meters. It could have been much worse, but the movement happened kilometers below sea level under Prince William Sound.

If a 9.0 magnitude quake hits in Oregon, Rachelle's home may well suddenly have a beach front on the Pacific Ocean. Assuming the tsunami does not wipe it out. :huh:

Our 7.2 quake was a slip/thrust of the Australian and Pacific plates, but it only moved three meters! Nevertheless, it was under land and comparatively shallow (15 km) so we have pictures of a hedge torn apart and growing beside itself for three meters

We had a 5.0 aftershock yesterday, the biggest in a while, and the first one I have 'heard' since I have been back. What a rattle and a clatter as the shockwave hit the western side of the house :o They said we may have them (aftershocks) for two or three years!! There have been over 1400 so far.

      @Mynx, how long have you been gluten-free? I ask because many newly diagnosed celiacs react to many things, and often think their reactions are caused by gluten, when in fact, they are really caused by a combination of a sensitive gut due to damage, as well as additional food intolerance/leaky gut issues to other foods which may be temporary until their villi heal.

      Many major brands of distilled vinegar in the USA, including Heinz white vinegar, are typically made from corn. In the United States, corn is a common and cost-effective raw material used in the production of distilled white vinegar. The process involves fermenting the sugars derived from corn into alcohol, which is then further fermented into acetic acid to produce vinegar. Distillation follows, which purifies the liquid and removes impurities, including any residual proteins or allergens. While the source of the vinegar (e.g., corn) is not always explicitly stated on the label, corn-derived vinegar is widely used in the food industry due to its neutral flavor and affordability. For individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, distilled vinegar made from corn is generally considered safe, as the distillation process effectively removes gluten proteins. However, if you have concerns about cross-contamination or specific sensitivities, it’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm the sourcing and production practices. Heinz, for example, has stated that their distilled white vinegar is gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease, but verifying this information can provide additional peace of mind. The belief that distilled vinegar is gluten-free is rooted in the scientific understanding that gluten proteins, which are large and complex molecules, are generally too big to pass through the distillation process. Distillation involves heating a liquid to create vapor, which is then condensed back into a liquid form, leaving behind larger molecules like gluten proteins. However, the concern about cross-contamination arises from the possibility that gluten-containing ingredients may have been present in the liquid prior to distillation. While the distillation process itself is highly effective at removing gluten, the equipment used in production could potentially introduce trace amounts of gluten if not thoroughly cleaned between batches. For most individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, distilled vinegar is considered safe because the gluten content, if any, is typically below the threshold that would trigger a reaction. However, for those with extreme gluten intolerance or celiac disease, even trace amounts can cause adverse effects. This is why some individuals, like yourself, may choose to avoid commercially produced distilled vinegar and opt for alternatives like apple cider vinegar, which can be verified as gluten-free. The meticulous process of researching ingredients and preparing homemade products, such as ketchup, is indeed challenging but crucial for maintaining health and avoiding gluten exposure. It’s important to note that regulatory standards for gluten-free labeling vary by region, and in many places, products labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is considered safe for the vast majority of people with celiac disease. Nonetheless, individual sensitivity levels can vary, and your approach highlights the importance of personalized dietary management for those with severe gluten intolerance.

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.
    • Mynx
      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.
