well everyone its that time of the year again, time to say goodbye to the summer and get ready for Autumn. I have to admit around here in PA the leaves are turning and falling but the temps do not exactly say October (tomorrow is the 1st). It was mid-70's here today again. I know the nights are getting cooler but the forecast did say 80 by the end of the week again.

Anyway Welcome Fall!!!!!

Yeah, we've had crazy warm weather for this time of year. Last week we had one day when it was 36 degrees Celsius (96.8 degrees Fahrenheit), how crazy is that!

But the leaves are turning here, too, and are beautiful farther north of us.

My family lives in the mountains in rural Northeastern PA, the leaves are so pretty up there right now. Where I am 2 hrs south of them the leaves are starting to turn now, just in the last week or so. The foliage is very pretty. I love summer the best for the warmth but my favorite fun season is fall, its so pretty and there is so much to do with fall festivals and corn mazes and halloween things.

I've been singing the praises of Fall the past two weeks. Love the change in the air and sun. Pulled our fall recipies to try and made apple crisp and pumpkin pancakes.

The leaves are beautiful in PA. I lived there a few years and really missed them all the years we lived in CA.

Happy Fall to you.

I'm in NY State (southeast of Albany) and our leaves are changing quickly now. The eves have been much cooler. I cooked my first pot of chili and made some gluten-free gingerbread last week....so it must be fall, lol! (As soon as I buy a bag of gluten-free candy corn, I'll be 100% into the spirit of it!)

My parents are about 45 mintues from the NY border, we have I-81 sometimes we come to Vestial to shop. My mom always liked Target and Kohls, and up until recently she did not have those stores in Scranton.

lol... our week+ of rain started two days ago, and the snow level dipped to 4000ft. I went for a hike in the snow (falling on us and large drifts on the ground) yesterday! Open Original Shared Link

Tiffany--I always love looking at your pictures. It looks so beautiful out there--I've never been west of Memphis :D

Wow Ursa--96 degrees! :o Hope you're cooling off now....

We also had the beautiful weekend in Jersey. It was georgeous--warm and sunny in the afternnons and nice and cool at night for sleeping. I did see that it's supposed to warm up again, though.

I showed John the picture of the snow in the mountains and he is so jealous! He loves snow. He is already talking about blizzards and snow drifts...things we don't see in PA (well our area of PA) that much anymore. John just is a winter lover!

I'd like to point out that Tiffany had to CLIMB A MOUNTAIN to get to snow. For those of us in the lowlands, it's puddles up to our shins from all the rain.

I tried to explain that to John but he wanted no part of it...He was in tranced by the snow scene. Well in jan when it is down near zero and there is mountains of snow out there he can enjoy cleaning off the cars. :)

It's fall? Really? I hadn't noticed... We moved from Maryland to Texas last summer and I really miss the leaves changing colors :(

Here... well, we're only getting into the low/mid 90's during the day, and the nights are downright cool... 73 last night!

And, we only had to mow the lawn once last week!

      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.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      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?
