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 thought it was a pretty bad night again, i still love lakisha and melinda and jordan did awesome last night also. I think blake was awesome to. I still like gina. 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 think sanjaya or brandon will go home, im sure it will be a guy.

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...

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Zuma888, Hashimoto's commonly occurs with Celiac Disease.  Those HLA genes code for other autoimmune diseases along with Celiac.  Hashimoto's and Celiac overlap.  People with Hashimoto's produce anti gluten antibodies, so a gluten free diet is definitely a must.  It may be safe to assume you've got Celiac Disease as well.   People with Hashimoto's often have deficiencies in Vitamin C and Thiamine.  Vitamin deficiencies are common in Celiac Disease.  A deficiency in Thiamine can manifest as Gastrointestinal Beriberi with digestive upsets and changes in bowel habits.   Your burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days after working out may be due to a lack of Thiamine and B vitamins.  If you don't have sufficient Thiamine, lactic acid can build up in muscles causing that burning sensation.  Anybody remember Jane Fonda's workouts?  Her catch phrase was "Feel the burn" meaning work out so hard, lactic acid builds up causing the burning sensation.  Thiamine and the B vitamins are needed to clear that lactic acid and repair muscle damage. Supplementing with a B Complex and Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing, and magnesium would be beneficial to help you feel better.  Blood tests for vitamin deficiencies are inaccurate.  Take Thiamine and B vitamins, then look for health improvements.  If not needed or absorbed, excess B vitamins are easily excreted in urine.

      Thanks so much.  🙏  I see they have them on Amazon. I'm all over it.  I'll let you know how it goes.

      @Rejoicephd, So glad you checked your multivitamin! I like Life Extension brand.  Their BioActive Complete B Complex has active forms of the B vitamins.  Note that one serving is two capsules, so you can take one capsule at each of two meals, boosting opportunity for absorption.   Life Extension also makes Benfotiamine (100 mg).  Take one at each of two meals in addition to the B Complex.  Don't take thiamine and B vitamins close to bedtime, you may be too energized to sleep.   I like Life Extension's Neuro Mag, a form of magnesium that can get into the brain easily, which helps immensely with improving headaches and muscle tension in the neck.   I'm so glad you're enjoying the forum!

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      By Jessica H · Posted

      Hi trents, just an update to my post, I had my follow up with my gastroenterologist. Scheduled my endoscopy for July 17th and got my biopsy results back July 28th. I have my official diagnosis now and I do in fact have Celiac disease. I'm slowly starting to switch my diet over to completely gluten free. My goal is to be completely gluten free after Christmas this year. I know I should be stopping completely now, but I am have a really hard time with change so my doctor told me I could do this gradually if it was easier for me. Now I know though and can make myself better with simple steps, no medication and have peace of mind knowing what I have is not the end of the world. Thanks again for your support. I've learned a lot over the last couple of months.

      @knitty kitty thank you for this suggestion.  Yes definitely.  Actually, since you brought it up, I just looked to see what amount of B vitamins my multi-vitamin had in it. I just realized that not only am I taking the version of thiamine that you mentioned doesn't absorb well, but also that I inadvertently reduced the amount of thiamine that I'm taking daily over time.  I'm just now looking at the bottles for the last three multi-vitamins that I was taking (including the current one I'm taking now).  I started with thiamine mononitrate at 25mg but that turned out not to be a gluten-free multivitamin, so then I switched to a gluten-free multivitamin with 1.1mg thiamine mononitrate, and then when my GI doc advised me to switch to an independent iron pill, I got a new multi-vitamin gummy that lacked iron. Now I'm realizing that this gummy only has 0.14mg thiamine mononitrate.  So not only are these not the right kind of thiamine but they are waaaay low.  Probably going on a gummy is a bad idea anyway... I will look into a B complex and if you have any suggestions of a specific one that worked for you, I would gladly take the suggestion!  Thanks so much.  this is such an awesome forum!!!
