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.

IT really is great that Jackie is trying to learn about her friend's diet. Interesting how that came about.

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.

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

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

Tiffany, it is so nice to see you again. :) I"m sorry you were attacked. You were missed. And, I am enjoying the Bare Mineral (that's right, foks, this darling girl sent me her stuff that she wasn't using! )

:rolleyes:

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
