Aha, yes, I thought that they were all supposed to be true. However, I checked out the babies and kneecaps one, and while they're not ossified until the age you quoted, they are there nevertheless. Here is a link to verify my claim:

I actually found that out too-but since they aren't ossified I figured it still "counted". I posted this over from something a friend sent-I found it amusing-but then again I'm easily amused. :)

Okay, how many moms wondered (just wondered...) if their kids would wake up if they checked them for kneecaps... :ph34r:

Yes, I found them amusing, too. Good entertainment when you can't sleep, anyway.

Nancy, you're too funny.

2. Alfred Hitchcock didn't have a belly button.

How could Alfred Hitchcock not have a belly button? I thought the only ones without bellybuttons would've been Adam and Eve.

Interesting to say the least.

His belly button was eliminated when he was being sewed up after surgery.

Ursula, thanks for that, or I would have been non the wiser.

It is a bit scary to think because I am nearly 50 that I have spent nearly 5 years waiting in queues. I guess next time I can take my book while I wait.

You definately cannot sneak up on one of my parrots ... I've tried ... they always see you coming.

The one about Prince Charles and Prince William not being on the same plane is true. As far as I know this rule also applies to Prince Harry.

. . .

12. 40,000 Americans are injured by toilets each year.

Yes, because their husbands forget to put the seat down. :P

16. Most of us have eaten a spider in our sleep.

"Aaaaaaaah!" (Runs from room and slams door)

18. The only two animals that can see behind themselves without turning their heads are the rabbit and the

parrot. What about that lizard with the googly independently-moving-eyes? :wacko:

20. Michael Jackson owns the rights to the South Carolina State anthem. Forget about #16, this is the most disturbing one. :lol:

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.
