Hi srokie and JackieM,

I'm one of the extremely grouchy skeptical people so feel free to point out any time you think I'm being unfair.

I think, if nothing else, I hope you learn that all information you receive from whatever source should be considered and questioned if necessary. No one person has all the right information, and even on issues of cross contamination people have different opinions and experiences.

And welcome

I recently found this site via surfing for Johnny Rivers links. I couldn't figure out why his name was associated with Gluten free until I read it was a post from Dingogirl about him. As I got into reading some things here, I soon started learning that this disease, which a friend of mine suffers from, but she refers to it as intolerance, maybe that is correct too, I don't know. So if it were not for me following Dingogirls post that was on Google, howza bout thaaat, I would never have all this information here.

oh my goshhhhhhhhhhhh, so something good HAS come out of me dating JR? :huh: I have to tell you, this just cracks me up, that you can google him and then find this! I must be quite careful in what I say...... :ph34r:

Welcome, Jackie!

Srokie, did she tell you if it was B-12 or not that you were not absorbing? All that talk of bread,eclairs, and baquettes started giving me pain.

There is not one of us on this board who can't empathize with how you have felt. I still do not absorbe my B-12 anymore because of this disease so I am constantly taking sublingual B-12's as opposed to shots. I know when I am low in B-12, I get very fatigued.

I am happy when people find out they are Celiac at a younger age. I hate to think of them suffering the decades I and many others have suffered from this disease and the irrepairable damage it has done to us.I am never happy anyone has this disease. It is not an inexpensive or convenient disease to have.

We need our governments to wake up and see how disabling this disease really is, perhaps if some of them had this they would get on board with us in many ways

I have enlarged the font on here in hopes of making it easier on Judy, without the yelling of caps..

Welcome Srokie..again from me.

See how nice people are...Rusla...thank you so very much for the large print. Got a notice from Scott about my Caps..i've been working on it but can't seen to get them larger for me to read while typing. will try to enlarge now and see if it comes up on the reply.

god so much work to figure this out.

my god ti worked when it come up but doesn;t help while typeing.

guess i'll just have to do the post and then caps and do a 'edit'

lord all mighty

thanks Rusla, your the best.

When I heard the song I knew it but he was first popular in 1964 - that's 40 years ago. I was still a twinkle in my daddy's eye then.... :blink:

And please not one get upset - I'm not trying to offend anyone by how long ago it was. I think it's great that we can share this stuff.

The song is called "Secret Agent Man", can't remember who sang it, but it was a theme song for a tv show in the 60's if I recall. (sort of a 007 type show).

I'll have to keep an ear out for Jonny Rivers.

It was also in the Austin Powers movies (at least the first one) and then he made some $$ by singing a bastardized version of it for Walmart...... :lol:

What I love is when I'm walking through TJ Maxx or something, just minding my own business, and a song comes on....

"....summer rain, taps at my window......"

and I just smirk to myself and kind of crack up, like a mad woman....... :P

Well I'm confooozed, let's see, then came Srokie, Srokie not, Srokie welcome, Srokie gone like a big bird. For what it is worth, I'm sticking around, as long as you want me here. Sorry it all took a turn for the worse. Enuff said from me on that subject.

Ok, now to Johnny Rivers. Summer Rain happens to be my favorite song of his. That was in 1968. Other songs that may help some of you out are Memphis, Mabelline, Poor Side of Town, and many others, In the 70's a song called Rockin Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu. I remember being told that B) Secret Agent Man B) theme song was from a 60's tv show. I don't really remember the show. Maybe we could google it and find out? lololol Sometimes people will say they never heard of him, but if you name a couple of songs sometimes they say, 'oh yeah I remember that one.'

I got the biggest kick out of finding this site when surfing for his website. It is a nice site, but today I tried to check out the J Rivers message board forum, and it is closed. hmmm oh well. one forum closes and another opens and I just shuffled in. How cool is that. Hey Dingogirl, something's about that Summer Rain song?? I'm intrigued by that one. lol

It's just funny how life brings you to new things. Sometimes it's good to let have a little play in the steering wheel of life,it brought me here, how special is that! :)

It really is cool that I landed here searchin JR . lol I once had an acquaintance that dated Rob Grill of the Grass Roots. I thought that was cool, until she told me that she learned that he wasn't the bag of chips she thought he was. lol

Dingogirl has me really curious about her knowledge of JRivers. (Johnny not Joan) lol Nice to be welcomed here by all. I think I may have posted too much here on this thread concerning Rivers. I'm still finding my way around here trying to learn the board and what to do and not do. lol

From what I could see earlier it looked as though there was some problems with something not acceptable being posted like spam, adult sites or something like that. I know when I have gone there before to look there would always be one or two there. Maybe they got tired of it, so they just closed it.

Hi srokie and JackieM,

I'm one of the extremely grouchy skeptical people so feel free to point out any time you think I'm being unfair.

And welcome

Jestgar, well put. I'm a sketic as well, but not as grouchy. (You grouchy?)

I always question what I am told and see how or if that imformation applies to my own situation, I never ever believe anything just because someone told me it was true, but it gives me food for thought and maybe looking at the problem in a different angle, and I never expect anyone to follow my opinions 100%.

It is our own responsibility to do our research and come up with our own answers, and through this forum I have found my answers quicker, but then at times I have been on wild goose chases, but I still have found my answers.

So far I don't seem to have come across anybody else on this forum with the same problems or symptoms as me, but then I am not looking for sameness all the way through, we are all different and with wide ranging personalities and ideas, and that is the beauty of this forum.

Hi Srokie. I am not on this board too much, just pop in now and then and answer the questions I think I have an answer to, and discuss those things that I have something to add to. I just read the toilet paper/paper towel thread, so I am late to the drama, but I just want to say that I, personally, try to always add "my opinion" or "I think" just to cover my butt in my posts.

I hope you weren't scared away!!! Please do hang around. I was "attacked" by a board member some time ago, over something really stupid, and I left the board for a while, but I enjoy the ideas, and the conversation, as long as we all agree that it is our opinion (most of the time) that we are sharing. Anyway, welcome, and I hope you are doing well. ~TiffJake

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.
