Mom just called me to say she checked the mail,and there was a letter from one of the Hospitals in Saskatoon saying that I have an appointment (consultation) with the specialist there on November 2nd :o:blink: ....thats only 13 days away.

BUT thats like a 8 month wait haha--which is pretty sad when you say its "urgent", to wait 8 months, dont you think? Well its better than nothing...

Oh i'm nervous yet excited at the same time...finally someone new to talk to who I've never seen before in my life!!!!

I'm gonna call my Aunty maybe tomorrow, still talk to her and... yay like I need to see my hmm..6th doctor of the year? lol

Glad to hear it. It sounds like your Mom is becoming a bit more supportive, too. Will she be driving you?

(I can't remember if you are in school in Yorkton or Regina.)

I'm in school in Yorkton this year...and yeah she said she'll be driving me. On friday I talked to the head guy at the college and he said its no problem..and said just keep pushing the teachers to tell me what I'll be missing or at least say what I missed during class when I'm in the bathroom--you'd be surprised how much you could fall behind in 15 mins!! Umm he also said to ask a couple of my classmates to keep me updated on things, too or help me out if I am having issues understanding something I missed. And i got a copy of the letter to give to the college. I've already missed more than allowed classes, but since its for medical reasons they obviously haven't kicked me out of classes. :P

Mom says it depends on the weather..if its supposed to snow, we'll go the day before (obviously safer that way). Again, the college seems ok with it so far..

11 days--I'm getting more nervous!!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese s...

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

      Kirkland brand (at Costco) is gluten-free and is 2,000 IU.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise...

      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...

Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.

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.
