Spoiler!

I can't believe that Sanjaya is still there, I'm also a little surprised Haley is still on. I'm watching Sundance get kicked off right now. I predict Haley , Sanjaya, and another guy will be the next three to go. But we can all see how well I have predicted in the past :lol: . I think Sundance is doing a better job on his song tonight than last night.

I'm surprised Haley stayed over Sabrina....and I don't really get Phil's popularity. Something about him creeps me out a bit. Maybe I'm missing something...

Mango, he kind of looks like a cancer patient or something that came back from the dead... Maybe that's it? He kind of creeps me out too, but I also see his star appeal. He has a good sense of humor and a decent voice as well. Plus, he's in the marines and that always helps voting on American Idol.

I really liked Phil's songs up until this past week he can't pull off Leann Rhimes though. He does have a strange look. I have to admitt, Haley is very pretty.

I think Sundance & Sabrina were the wrong choices to go home.

I really liked Haley from her original audition, so I wasn't upset that she made it - we knew there would be one girl that we liked that didn't get through. It's just too bad for Sabrina - I wonder if she was just too much like Stephanie & Jordin that one of them was bound to go early - splitting the "modern R&B vibe voice".

Sanjaya is just not very good - I have no idea why he's still around, other than votefortheworst.com keeping him in things.

My faves are Gina, Melinda, Chris S, & Blake, so I was happy they all made it. My husband's faves were Sundance, Sabrina, & Stephanie, so he had a pretty rough night with only one of his faves getting through to the finals.

No idea who will win it all this year - I feel like there's just not a clear front runner.

What do you guys think after tonight?

Blake was awesome in my eyes! I still liked Gina, and I am happy to see Haley coming around. Simon even commenting her. Lakisha is another favorite of mine.

I thought Blake was AMAZING!!! I can't believe the judges didn't get it. I would love to hear that on the radio!!!

Melinda and Blake are my favorites now. I think they both bring a real unique-ness to the competition.

I used Schar cracker crumbs. They make the PERFECT crab cake. I think they make the crab cakes more moist than bread crumbs do. I can give you my recipe if you want. This is by far my favorite crab cake recipe. You could probably also use gluten free corn chex-type cereal and have them turn out wonderful.

I really think a guy will win this year. I am still upset sundance is no longer on there. I think he would have done great last night.

I'll be really p'd if Sanjaya or Brandon don't go home after last night. Sanjaya hasn't sounded good since the auditions. Brandon has had like 3 bad weeks in a row. They're just not cutting it. I miss Sundance too. He was one of my favorites even though he had a couple of substandard performances. His voice was really amazing.

What was with Sanjaya's hair? It's not good looking..

I still like Gina!

To quote Randy "I just wasn't loving it". Last night was not as good as I would have hoped. Blake was good, Gina was fun even though she does have a habit of yelling power songs. Of corse Melinda was awesome. Even though there were other great singers, I found the performances boring. I can not believe how bad Chris S. killed the song. I hope next week is better. :)

I only watched (sort of) for the first hour...it was too painful to watch, lol. I DID like Melinda's performance though. I couldn't watch Sanjaya at all...that was excruitiating. :lol:

I walked away at 9:30, John continued to watch. He said he liked Chris Richardson but the judges hated it. I left after I saw Blake. I did get bored. How did they expect guys to do Diana Ross though?

I liked Blake, Melinda, & Gina. I liked Haley, too, we liked her since the auditions, so it was great to see her performing well again. But overall, I was fairly bored, things just need to get better from all the contestants.

I hope that Sanjaya or Brandon goes home--To quote Randy, Sanjaya was "almost unlistenable." I just wanted it to stop! I am not normally someone who would be so mean, but he really needs to be off the show. Yipes!

Unfortunately, Sanjaya is Votefortheworst.com's new pick since Sundance and Antonella are both gone. Ugh... He may be around for a while. Hopefully not.

We were discussing it in the office today and one of my coworkers also said they think Sanjaya will be around for awhile because of the vote for the worst. Sad!

The show was very amusing to me. I found the singers who forgot their words surprisingly entertaining. I believe Sanjaya is the best worst contestant they have ever had. The two pierced ears, the curly hair, the painfully shy singing... I laughed, cringed, covered my ears, listened again just to begin the process over. I was fully engaged. Vote for the worst is very funny. I don't vote, but it I were younger, I'd vote for the worst.

The best way to watch Idol these days is to record it and then fast forward through most of it LOL. All the guys (except maybe Blake) should go home.

I really liked Phil, Blake and Gina until this week - still like them, but now I have a new favorite - Jordin!

I thought she had the best performance BY FAR last night...

Great... I haven't gotten to watch it yet. We recorded it. Don's putting Tori down now and then we're going to watch. I'm assuming though by that response that Sanjaya didn't get voted off. Man... I hope it wasn't Blake or Melinda to go...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
