Although I am glad Sanjaya is gone, I have to ask, what will we talk about? :P And what is with Blake being in the bottom three and Chris in the safe group? That is wrong!

You know I didn't even watch last night. I was busy making my sisters Baby basket and wrapping the presents. John watched and he told me Sanjaya was crying...and I just reassured him that I question his sexuality. He is very feminine. I hope I am allowed to say that. So if I offended anyone, I am very sorry.

You are right, what we will have to talk about?

Did you guys see Simon and the whole Chris R thing last night, where they showed the recap and Simon verified himself. I did see that part. John is convinced that Simon was rolling his eyes at Chris.

Where is the "jumping with joy" smilie? WOO HOO!!!

I was very surprised to see Blake in the bottom 3 too! I didn't think he sang nearly as bad as Chris. And, the Simon thing, you can see in the replay tape from last night that he was talking to Paula and was asking her why he would sing/say something about nasal singing. I thought it was very apparant that he wasn't listening to what was going on stage.

Amanda ~ I really think the same thing about Sanjaya. He seems very feminine to me too.

I was kinda sad to see sanjaya go home, if he had gone home weeks ago i wouldnt have been sad, but he was growing on me lol. I cant beleive lakeisha and blake were int eh bottom 3, that just was wrong on so many accounts. I guess I will have to start voting to keep the ones i like safe lol.

I wish we could vote for the ones that we want out, that would be so much easier lol

I hope next week will be much more fun. This week has just been very busy for me, and my mind has been elsewhere, so I haven't focused on any of my TV shows I love. I didn't watch dancing with the stars either.

I have it rough at home, John liked Sanjaya....so we had some Idol battles. Silly.

Ha, I didn't watch last night either...well I did up until after they showed the tape of Simon talking to Paula from the night before, but from the sounds of it, YAY, lol. Sanjaya is gone. :P

In all previous years except for last the winner has appeared in the bottom 3 once. It's usually around when 5-6 people are left. I'm hoping this isn't just a fluke because I would LOVE for Blake to win. I definitely think he's awesome. Has Melinda been in the bottom 3 yet? I don't think she has been.

I was really glad that Sanjaya finally got cut. I was starting to get really worried that he would somehow win. That would have been such a joke because there are three other contestants that actually deserve that recording contract.

Did anyone else notice how Chris and Melinda were hanging all over each other for the entire show?

I have to admit I was glad to hear Simon tell Melinda to stop the surprised act.

I was worried Sanjaya was going to make it too. John was predicting it...I was praying it would not happen. I still cannot believe he was crying.

I think that was the my high point of the show, when he told her that. But I think she is going from the little miss innocent to the biggest attitude on the show lol

I think Blake or Jordan should win, Blake because he is unique, knows his stuff, can perform, and is likable. Jordan because she has the whole package, she is pretty, can sing, perform, and is a little sassy without being obnoxious. Although Melinda and Lakisha can sing they are missing something. Lakisha either projects no personality or a negative vibe. Melinda could have some appeal, but it would be limited to maybe adult contemporary music. She and Lakisha also have an older feel about them.

Just my opinion, chances are one of them will win.

Is it just me or does it look like lakeisha and melinda are losing some weight. they dont look at big as they did when this started, or is just that they are wearing more flattering clothes that make them look smaller.

Something does look different on them, and it is hard to put your finger on it.

I think Blake or Jordin as well, but present themselves well and have talent.

Lakisha stands very stiff and sometimes looks very annoyed. As for Melinda one of my coworkers summed it up, they just cannot stand to look at her, in my honest opinion I cannot see her as the next Idol because she does not have the look. Can you imagine the celiac disease cover? I look at those things. Maybe I am just shallow.

I was trying to figure out what you meant by "celiac disease cover"...took me a minute to translate it to C D...darned forum filter! LOL!

Of all the singers I see Melinda and Jordin being the most likely to win. I can see Melinda being on a C D cover. There are a few successful artists out ther who don't have the typical "look." It all depends on the photography and graphic design to bring the cover together. Jordin does have the "full package" though...and she is so young, she's really got potential for capturing the younger audience and has opportunity to really grow/mature.

I was glad to see Sanjaya go too. I hope Chris and Phil go the next two weeks.

Something I wanted to point out about Sanjaya. He's only a 17 year old kid who hasn't finished going through puberty yet. (Sure, Jordin is the same age, but girls mature faster than boys and she was already working as a plus-size model and had been on tour with a contemporary Christian singer before Idol.)

Anyway, he came across as very shy and humble in his audition. I think he's genuinely shy and really doesn't have the skills to deal with all the glitter of Hollywood. How would we have all reacted at age 17? I don't think he's overly feminine. He's just a kid doing what the stylists and vocal coaches are telling him to do. One thing is for sure - he wasn't ready for something like American Idol.

It makes you wonder if his sister isn't better than he is, although she may not have made it as far, without the support of vote for the worst and 13 year old girls.

I liked his sister, can't remember her name. She is very pretty too. I think it would be neat to see them team up together and sing because I bet they sound very nice together. I forget did they sing together in the audition at first and then they made them do it seperate too.

I can't remember if they sang together first or not. Her name is Shyamali. She's getting as many searches as Sanjaya these days.

The thing I remember about the auditions is that Shyamali went first and made it. Then Sanjaya went in. They asked him who was the better singer and he said, "my sister is". After he sang, the judges (I think Simon first) told him that he was actually better. When he came out, Ryan asked if the judges had compared their voices or told him who was better and he said, "I don't want to say" or something like that. It was obvious that he didn't want to hurt his sister's feelings.

They look so cute together. She was older if I remember correctly. They seem to get along very well together.

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."
