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)

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Inconclusive results

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!
