Just wanted to dust off the thread, hard to believe 2 episodes have already been aired and we didn't gossip about it :lol:

First, I was SHOCKED D. Paul was let go for the crown molding and that other difficult to work with gal got by for another week, and then how tragic the elimination was last night! I LOVED that little guy (drawing a blank on his name) and yet again SHE gets to stay :o

Although her room looked sort of like Italy, or an interpretation, unfortunately his room had no feeling of Spain so it probably was the right choice for the judges :(

Julie--see the previous post.....we must have been posting at the same time :lol:

I so agree with you on Sheree (I think that's her name). Even the other contestants don't care for her. I couldn't believe she wasn't sent home last week.

I was surprised about Michael--he tried and his room wasn't all that bad. I thought Vern had a soft spot for him :(

Posting at the same time again Patti :lol:

If the judges were going by each room evoking the feeling of the selected country then I can see why Michael was in the bottom, but I was hoping they were going to give him another chance.

Yeah--I know his didn't look very Spanish, but I thought it was a darn sight better than the tower of cushions :P

Yes, what was that?! That was just all wrong :lol:

Was it Christy that said it looked like a spaceship? :lol:

:lol: Yes! It didn't even look well built--I really thought he'd be the one to get the boot. I think he thought so, too.

Is anyone still watching? Julie?

I thought the kitchen re-do was pretty good, considering the time they had to complete it and also considering they had to install all that drywall. I was happy to see Sheree go, though--she doesn't "play well with others"! :lol: And she wasn't as organized as she should have been--evidently they do a kitchen project every season, so I would think she could have had a few ideas and things up her sleeve going into it.

The family seemed disappointed at the lack of a tile back splash--but they got a darn nice kitchen for free, with all new appliances. They can add a back splash for a few hundred dollars anytime.

Patti, this cracks me up, I was just thinking I needed to post in this thread. Once again, we are on the same wavelength :lol:

Let's see, I think we are two weeks behind? I was sad to see Stephanie go last week, she was my favorite.

And I am SOOOO glad Sheree is finally gone!!!!!!! I thought the exact same thing you did, she just does not play well with others at all. And what was her deal with always taking too long with the shopping? She did the same thing the week before, she knew she had to be quick and get back. I am so glad that the judges recognized that there wasn't an overall design plan and that it fell on Sheree as the team leader.

I was also a little bummed to see Mikey B (D?) go too, I liked him.

Yeah--Mark and I liked her too. I was surprised she was let go so soon. I'm trying to remember....was it because of her hosting ability? :unsure:

What did you think of the "ring drama" this week? I thought it was a bit over the top to have the fire dept. come to cut the ring off her finger. I woulda gone to the emergency room the night before, but that's not good television, I guess :lol:

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
