I finally can be back with you all. I have really missed things the last two weeks but I have been very ill. I have had an iron infusion and waiting to see if I need a blood transfusion. I have gotten very familiar with my local hospital and staff. And to top it all off when I went to my doctor the first time last week I found out he is leaving at the end of the month. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I continue to heal.

Thanks. What they think happened to me was I got a very bad case of the stomach flu which of course caused a nasty case of D. Then the D caused the damage in my small intestine to bleed and cause the significant blood loss I had. My hemoglobin is 8.7 as of today and the doc wants to see if it goes up by Wednesday or if I will need blood the next week. Thanks again for all the kind thoughts and wishes.

Get well soon Jenny. It a lesson for everyone not to take D lightly, or have it continue for any length of time. Glad your back.

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Janet McAlpin · Posted

      Will do! Here are some other test results from the last few days using the Elisa Technologies tests. All of these products tested Gluten Free, ( or more accurately, under 10ppm)  - Teddies crunchy Peanut Butter  - Philosopher Foods Sprouted Almond Butter - Jacobsen Salt Co Black Garlic Ginger Salt

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes, it is important to get 25OHD blood and PTH tested and monitored.  My doctor tests me 4 times a year along with homocysteine and the other blood panels.  Massive vitamin D doses under a doctors care can raise vitamin D level quickly, but those doses wear off in about three months, so either sun or supplementation needs to be instituted in order to not lose the gain.  There have been numerous clinical trials on kidney transplant patients with doses as high a 1.5million IU with no ill effects.  But those are a one time bolus under the care of doctors.  One conumdrus of these really high  dose supplements is a higher incidence of falls.  The answer is that the patient feels so good, they are more active than usual before regaining strength and balance.

      Yes, 50k IU daily would be an a short term front end loading dose for those having critically low levels but you wouldn't want to take it for an extended period.

      That's 20ppm, not 20,000 ppm. https://www.fda.gov/food/nutrition-education-resources-materials/gluten-and-food-labeling "The rule specifies, among other criteria, that any foods that carry the label “gluten-free,” “no gluten,” “free of gluten,” or “without gluten” must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten."
