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:

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      We have a category of articles on this topic if you really want to dive into it: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius-wheat-starch/

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.
