What a great show last night. So many singers I haven't seen in a long time. They all sound great and everyone looked like they were having fun. Its great that AI is a show enjoyed by people of all ages. There aren't many shows you can watch with your kids and you both enjoy it. I wish it wouldn't end but it did along with everything else. :angry: :angry:

I'm glad Jordin won ;) Yeah Jordin. Well nice to have met all those who contributed to this thread, its been fun. Have a nice long weekend and blueeyedmanda remember the baby can't stay. hehe Give her a kiss for me.

Thanks Gail,

It was hard saying good bye to the baby, I was off to a dentist appointment and normally I would dread it but I got my braces off today! I got them when I was 22. I wanted to fix a couple crooked teeth. Boy am I happy I did. It feels great without them too. :):):)

So, what shows do all of you watch regularly (if any)? We watch House and that's about it now that Idol is over.

Well, we Canucks are lucky, because CANADIAN Idol starts next Tuesday! The winner last season, Eva Avila, is amazing. Remember her name! :)

Regularly, Grey's Anatomy and lately House. Those are about the only two...other than that I watch weird things like World Series of Poker, Deadliest Catch and Ghost Hunters. :lol:

Ooohhhh... We should start another House thread. This time we should keep it going though. It's such a great show. We just started watching a few months ago. LOVE IT!!! We're also currently watching season 1 on DVD and catching up on old ones on USA. Ha. How many seasons are there?

I'm not sure how many...I know a few months ago my friend and I went on a cruise and she brought some DVDs--not sure which season...I watched a few episodes then. She offered to send me another season to watch...but I said no. (I think I'll just change my mind and ask her to let me borrow them, lol).

It comes on a couple of times a week here at 8:00 (so I think I'm not seeing the current season), so I started watching cuz there wasn't much else on. Kind of got hooked cuz my medical journey has been a weird ride and the show reminds me of that. :P:lol:

We watch the Deadliest Catch, Little People Big World, and John loves Smallville, I cannot stand shows like that so I just do other stuff.

I tried watching the show So you think you can dance and turned it off after 5 min. I'm not a big t.v. person although I like watching it, there are few shows that hold my interest. I like House though, but don't always get the chance to watch it.

I like the sit coms because they're only a half hour and I'm always looking for a laugh.

Mandy my sister just got her braces off and she's 45. Its never to late. She's eating all the foods she missed eating for two years. She likes gummy worms and ate them for a week .. yuck.

Thanks Everyone!! I have to say it is so nice to have them off too. Semi-uncomfortable process of taking them off but well worth it. I am so pleased at how my teeth look now.

John and I love friends and Sex and the City. We actually have the DVD sets to both.

Argh... Well, House's season finale is Tuesday, so I guess we can't start a new thread about House. I don't really watch anything else. At least not this time of the year. Everything I watch is ending or over for the year. :(

Amanda, you need to post a new avatar with your big, toothy, braceless grin! :)

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
