So a lot of people were asking me where i've been and such the last year basically. So today was my last day of junior year in high school (what many say is the hardest year...) so I wasn't around very much...or at all....

But now school is over, I'm headed to Boston to see my Giants take on the Boston Red Sox (and hopefully beat them...) as well as chill with my aunt and uncle in Boston.

Health wise, I may be having surgery to fix my acid reflux. I am still off corn, soy and lactose as of now, but they are trying to get it so I can have at least a few bits of those allergens without getting sick....

But yes, finally done with school and very happy as well :):):)

Oh and in August I am going to the Northern California Celiac camp for 3 days in Livermore with my Teens Against Gluten group and we are planning probably a small conferece for celiac teens for the fall.

thats about it, oh and it's my 17th b-day today :)

Hi Molly!

Only 1 year left in school, I remember that boy did it fly. I remember heading out the door for the first day of my senior year and next thing I knew it was prom and then I was sitting on the stage in my cap and gown. Enjoy your senior year it is filled with fun and stress, :)

It is nice to see you around again. I hope you enjoy your trip to Boston, and heres to the Giant's winning!

i'm back :) for real this time lol.

So yeah boston was a BLAST!! the giants lost, but i met my favorite player's mom and dad and i got like 15 autographs from all the giants players on the pics of me and them, and I got my favorite player to sign the jersey that i got for my b-day (which is his #) and the catcer threw me a ball that i caught, and another player gave me his batting gloves and a bat.

Giants overall have been really fun this season, yeah they are sucking....but on saturday night i fell and re-tore my quad, and i was sitting my the giants clubhouse where i go before games, and barry zito came up and felt really bad for me, and got the trainer and brought me all this food that i had to turn down cause i can't have it, but it was really sweet, and he kept coming out to make sure that i was okay. it was really sweet of him, plus there were so many other people there, and he singled me out and tried to help me.

but yeah i'm probably having stomach surgery for my acid reflux cause it has gotten really bad, but other than that i've been doing well :]

How did you tear your quad? Playing soccer?

I tore mine playing indoor soccer in law school - worst pain I had in a long time. It hurt with every step.

To this day, I still pull that muscle when I play soccer and shoot too hard with that leg.

Hope you feel better and welcome back!

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
