Sorry,

Nicole and Amy

The guy who sang free ride and the asian who wore no shoes.

I was doing some stuff and hadn't checked this in awhile.

Sundance stayed....and I didn't think he was that great.

THANK YOU!!! You can disregard my PM now. I'm just feeling a little silly, please excuse me.

No problem, I feel bad, I keeping forgetting about time zones so I probably ruined it for a lot of people. I am sorry :)

There's no way I could pull off "knowing" without being caught. The people who didn't make it were too much of a surprise. I think Nicole was the only one that anyone really guessed. My kids never would have bought it. Let's try again next week!

BTW - how did Rudy get voted off? He was one of my top 4 favorites for the guys. And there was one very forgettable guy up there - we all looked at each other and said, "who's that?" None of us remembered even seeing him on Tuesday. I think his name is Rick? And I'm sad that Amy is gone - I thought she was WAY better than Antonella and Alaina. Oh, well, I guess I should just start voting.

I had liked Antoella all the way up until she sang the Aerosmith song, I am a big Aerosmith fan. Rudy was the last one to be voted off. I have to say I loved his Free Ride performance. It made me want to get up and dance. There was one girl who sang and I didn't think it was good at all, but Paula had actually stood up and was dancing with her song. I can't remember who it was. When I watched the girls that night I was dead to world, I had just come home after working a double shift.

I am not nearly as impressed this season so far as I was last. The guys last year would have blown these guys away imo. Anyone else notice they are using Chris Daughtrys song to send them home with? last year it was had a bad day.. this year is Daughtrys Home. A bit ironic since he didnt even win last year!!!

I was really irritated that Antonella didn't get voted off after what she and her best-friend said about being able to get any guy they wanted. That really rubbed me the wrong way and I thought for sure she'd get voted off quickly because of the attitude. I didn't really remember Nicole's performance, so it mustn't have blown me away. I think Antonella definitely should have gotten booted before Amy. Poor thing.

I'm very glad that Sundance stayed on. He was one of my favorites from auditions. I'm scared though that if he has another round like the past two he'll be headed home. He was flawless in the auditions. Too bad the rest of the show he hasn't done too much. I was also glad that Sinjaya stayed on, he's such a sweet kid. I liked that he cried when his sister didn't make it. I thought that was sweet and i really hope he does better this week. He has such an amazing voice, but he certainly didn't shine this past week. I guess so long as Blake, Phil, and Chris Sligh are still on I don't really care who gets voted off for the boys. As for the girls, I'm really hoping that LaKisha can make it all the way, that poor girl deserves to know that she's great. And I like that she's doing this all for her little girl, Brionne. I think that's sweet. She's amazing and she'll keep getting my votes. :)

Tinkerbellswt... Is it actually Chris singing in the vote off song??? I didn't even notice!

Guy- I like Blake Chris, S. and Phil, although Sanjaya is a cutie and I believe he'll get votes for that, I don't think he is quit good enough as far as the "whole package" goes.

Girls are hard for me, they all seem alike. That's the problem I had with Cathrine last year, she didn't seem any different to me than any other pretty girl with a good voice. Even in her interviews now she seems boring. I think Jordin is going to be my favorite, she can sing and she seems interesting, and sweet.

LOL It sure is Chris singing it. It is the second song on his album called Home. I had my mom replay it today b/c she couldnt believe the irony there too! and my dad picked his voice right out, knew it was him right away!

Wow.. an Idol thread... I love that show!!

I really like LaKisha too. I don't have a favorite for the guys yet.

I find I'm not looking forward to Idol nites like last year. Probably because there is no rocker. I hope the guys step it up tonight, I'm not going to sit through another boring nite.

I was much more amused during the girls performance last week....besides the two or three guys, the rest sang very slow songs. The majority in my office turned it off last week because they got bored.

Well, the guys were far better tonight! Blake rocked! I also liked Chris S. The other Chris had a good performance, but I don't like him. He reminds me of KFed. I don't know if they look alike or it's the punk factor. I'm sorry to say but I think Sanjaya is going home (unless he gets the cutie vote). And I also think either Brandon or Nicholas is going home. What do you all think?

I liked Blake too. I am just not digging Sanjaya. He sings too soft. I am into the more upbeat singers. I missed Phil. Sundance made a come-back as well. I haven't been too impressed with him up to this point but he did better last night.

Phil did good, I believed he sang Tom Waite's (sp?) I Ain't Missing You. I think that's right.

I thought the guys did great last night! I'm thinking Sanjaya might be leaving, Brandon might leave too just because he picked a slow and somewhat boring song. Looking forward to the girls tonight. Missed them last week. :(

Vote for the Worst site is pushing votes for Sundance and Antonella. Unfortunately I do think those anti-AI people do make a difference at least in these earlier shows. I don't understand their whole concept anyhow. If you don't like the show, why mess it up for others? :angry: Here's the link if you are interested: Open Original Shared Link

I tend to agree! I watched a little bit last night, but had to go to bed at 9, lol, so didn't see them all, but from what I saw, they were just so-so.

Well the ladies were decent.

I think we might see Antonella go home. She sounded horrid. She took on way to big of a song, thought she was better than she is.

But I enjoyed the girls.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
