I love my plants dealry but can't figure out what they need or want. There are very green and look great, however some of there leaves have yellow tips or are turning yellow. What does this mean? Is it from being over waterd, lack of water or do they need fertlizer? I would love any suggestions. My poor plants need it. ;) Thanks!

my plant at home that is having the problem is a lily plant. Its not in direct sun, but has access to light. I water them once a week, not excessivley though. The liliy actually has bloomed, its just the tips of the leaves turn yellow. I have an office plant that is doing the same. It doesn't flower, but it doesn't like the direct light either. Its called a Ficus Bonsai. Not sure what to do.

I would encourage you to take pictures or the plant to a local nursery for expert visual-based advice. Discoloring in the tips suggests salt to me (it first manifests in the leaf tips) but it's usually more of a 'burn' than yellowing.

Depending on how yellow the tips are, it can be within the norm for a lilly. If it is a true lilly, such as a casablanca, stargazer or asiatic, they tend to do that, for whatever reason. If it is a "tiger" lilly (the really small ones) then there is a problem.

The person on this board that knows THE MOST about plants is Shirley! She can tell you about almost any plant there is. Jen and I depended upon her advice for the entire growing season two years ago!!

I'll try to remember her board name -- will contact a few people to find out, and you can PM her. She is AMAZING!!

Hi,

Depending on the type of Lily, it will most likely go into dormancy for the winter. If it's a Stargazer bulb, for instance, it will most likely begin to yellow and then will look like it's dying. Don't cut it ! Let the leaves die off. This is important for photosynthesis and a nice plant next year. This is a good time for fertilizer. Then, let the stem(s) die off without assistance by you. In October or so, provided that it totally dies off, you may be able to tug the stem out. It kind of depends on your climate how you choose to deal with the bulb or not come winter. Regardless, it should pop up again in the Spring.

Ours are only beginning to open the flowers now (specifically Stargazers)

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
