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:

      I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      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 containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.
