I am watching ABC's Men In Trees and Mai made some gluten-free dumplings for Ben! I was all excited to see that, ha!

I'm not familiar with the show... What is the context for the gluten free-edness.

Is Ben Celiac? :P Or are they just being clever? I love that show....did you hear the latest gossip, that the blonde (Anne Heche) has just left her real-life husband for Jack, and that Jack has left his real-life wife for her??? :oQuelle scandale!! Perhaps gluten IS clouding their brains, and they ALL need the gluten-free dumplings?

I was excited to hear the reference...it even caught my husband's attention. Just wish it hadn't been in response to Ben's grimace after taking a bite of Mai's gluten-free dumplings. :(

are gluten-free dumplings Asian dumplings or the type of dumplings that go in stew type receipes? If the latter, who'd have a receipe for that!?

And yeah, why are they discussing gluten-free on this show? someone on show maybe has celiac disease in real life or does character claim to have it? Interesting....

i watch this show every week and have heard them talk about gluten free food other times. I don't remember who it was that couldn't eat it. it might of been buzz but then we see him drinking beer on the show so i don't know. but if you watch it on a regular basis you will hear it come up every once in a while.

If the former, also, recipe would be loved. I would kill for a gluten free Bao recipe.

That's the 2nd time I've seen them mention it! The first time she was having guests over and they were making dinner. She said something about Buzz being out of town and how she normally had to make that dinner gluten free because he couldn't have gluten. I love that show!

I saw it too and was wondering how to make it, my mouth started to drool! I want to live in Elmo. The show reminds me of a modern northern exposure. I would assume the recipie (if for real) would be a rice based dumpling, will have to experiment and research the net!

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      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!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
