My beloved cousin in Boston canNOT stop recommending this book to me - - I don't have the heart to tell her that I can't even phinish it (though.........I can't PROMISE I won't finish it - - there is a train-wreck fascination to just how truly insipid and awful it is, adn I pick it up every few nights :ph34r::lol: )

GIAH-KNIT, what was that solipsistic book you were reading - or trying to read - was it "Eat, Pray, Love" by chance?

Because......I just borrowed it from my mom, who couldn't finish it - nor could her entire book club finish it - and I have just done something I haven't done in decades - - threw it across the room - twice in one night (to Kissey's great amusement) because.......well I have never read such poorly-written drivel in all my life...... :unsure:

Yep, that's the one. I couldn't finish it. Probably half the book club couldn't finish it. Only one person from our club had anything positive to say about it (she related to the divorce) but the rest of us thoroughly enjoyed bashing the author and her book.

I had to use forced waiting periods to get any reading done on it . . . whilst waiting for me mammogram . . . whilst waiting for me root canal . . . whilst waiting for the bamboo shoots to be driven in under me fingernails.

:huh: I don't get it.......was such a massive bestseller........I was reading it the other day, many many tedious paragraphs describing her first meal in Italy.......now, I love Italy as much or more than anyone else, and gawd knows I love me some good phood porn......but I was OUT OF MY MIND with anger and boredom, all at once. :lol: I love reading about people's journeys and their transformation from something awful.......and COULD NOT CARE LESS about this woman...........

She's one of Oprah's gurus now, too. <_< I seriously don't get the fascination......

I haven't cared for the couple of her books that I've read either, but she has gotten thousands of people to read. That's worth a lot, in my book.

Remember House of Sand and Fog? I threw it in the trash.......have never hated a book more... :lol: (I trade many books at used book store)

Am going to attempt Pillars of the Earth - looks long but quite good.

True that. Alas, I think her audience is a demographic that is largely readers, anyway......but who knows.

If only we could get her to read the silly thread (if she isn't already :lol: ). Life-changing, for her viewers, and for Oprah herself, fo' shizzle.

I'm generally not a phan of Archer, but I loved Pillars. Think you'll like this one, Susie. :)

I think Oprah is on here..... .. just something I've been suspecting... .. one of those ''guests" or anonymous users... .. Hell, how long does Oprah think she can stay anonymous?

We all know that Oprah owns the world, or a large chunk of it...but she doesn't own Sillyville..... .. I think she's gotten wind of us, of this amazing, untouched place, and she wants in.........

Wait!!!!!....

Haven't seen Llamalady in a few pages..........

Could it be???!!!.... . . ..

Anna Karinana I love, one of my favorite books, but I read it way before she put it on her list :P

      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.

      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?
