Well, I'm satisfied . . . happy even!!! I wouldn't have picked Asia'h yet but I'm very happy to see the other three go. And I will tell ya', they scared me with Michael Johns. By the time they called his name, they hadn't let go of any of the guys and they were "overdue". Yikes!!! . . . I was talking to the TV loudly (not exactly yelling) . . . Not Him!!!!

I am glad Kristy Cook is still there, I loved what she did with that Journey song. John likes Jason with the dreadlocks. I think Ramiele should have went before Asia. I liked Asia. She is very pretty too. I missed the begining with Blake singing, how was he?

Agreed!! Did you notice how upset she was that Danny was off'd? Maybe they bonded over their similar hairstyles.

I missed Blake last night, too.

The night before when she sang Danny was wearing her glasses.....that was odd. Did you see Danny crying too?

I definitely don't like Ramiele. I can't put my finger on it, but I really can't stand watching her perform. I think she should have gone home last night in stead of Asia.

Blake was eh... I'm a huge Blake Lewis fan, love his album, but it was really just mediocre I thought. He looked great though and his dancing was awesome, as usual. I thought he was really off key. I love the song he did though, one of my favorites on the album.

I was surprised that Asia was sent home. I would have preferred Ramiele to go home first too. I was glad that Kristy got to stay another week too. I liked her Journey song! I was yelling at the TV too when Michael's name was called too.

I think Ramiele is a bit of a show off and thats what I don't like. I don't think Chizney is that great either.

I wasn't able to watch the other night but I dvr'd it so I just viewed it.

Blake's new song sounds pretty good. The sound system seemed kind of off though, his mic or something, or maybe it was just me? But I was thinking it might have been a stronger overall if the sound was better.

I'm happy with the final guys. I liked Danny and Luke, but I just like the other guys better. Yay Michael Johns is still in there, I was thinking his age might not get him him the votes from the younger audience members.

The girls, I'm still eh about. I am wondering if the rest of America is confused right along with us :lol: It was kind of strange the two that were voted off.

Is everyone ready for the Top 12 tonight?

I predict Randy will say, "it was just alright for me, a little pitchy, kind of slow in the beginning, but you worked it out in the end".

And I predict Paula will say: "{insert name}, you are so {insert adjective}. You should be so {insert whatever word of the day proud/happy}". And then change her thought in mid sentence. :lol:

I hope it's not Michael Johns, he's lovely to look at. Mango and I would be devastated :lol:

Jason Castro though has a lot of youg girls crushing on him, I read the AI boards :rolleyes::lol:

We would have been devastated :wub::lol:

And really? (about Jason Castro). Go him! He's such a goofy, yet nice kid. I like him though (he's the one with the long dreds right? :huh: ).

I soooooo agree!!! I've never particularly liked him, but he ROCKED OUT last night!

I also loved Carly and Amanda.

Howevah...

I know there's a lot of Kristy fans out there, and normally I'm not a hater, BUT... what she did to Eight Days a Week made me throw up in my mouth. It was like a hoedown took The Beatles hostage, and then popped some speed. Seriously, I'm traumatized.

I usually like Kristy too, but not last night....you cannot put a country spin on everything!

Amanda did rock last night!

Yeah, Kristy sucked last night and I think she'll probably go home tonight because of it. I hope Chikezie keeps rockin' out southern style like that. That was really cool. I think that may have possibly been the best Idol performance ever. I think the only other one that ever blew me away like that was Constantine Mouralis' Bohemian Rhapsody.

Who do you guys think will go? I'm betting it'll either be Kristy Lee Cook or David Hernandez. Possibly Ramiele, trust me, my fingers are CROSSED!!!

I am hoping it is Ramiele...I hope Kristy just had a bad song choice.

I only saw the first hour, but I totally agree...Chikezie totally rocked. I LOVED what he did, and he looked like he was having a great time.

I don't mind Ramielle, but her song was boring...it was really pretty but I KNEW the judges would be ho-hum. :P

Didn't see Amanda or Kristie, but HOPEFULLY I've got that recorded to watch today.

Agreed . . . Chikezie's performance was one of the bests I've ever seen. I liked him OK before but he moved up my list last night. I hope it wasn't a fluke and he keeps it up. . . although, the stylists need to help him out, I don't thing the green argyle sweater vest was the thing to wear for that song.

I would prefer Ramiele to go but I don't think she will. Her singing was pretty good . . . it was just "too safe" if you know what I mean. I just don't care for her personally.

I thought the worst performance was Kristy. I think she has the best chance of going. I hated that countrified version.

David Archuleta didn't have too good of a night, did he? I don't think he'll win. He just doesn't have enough style . . . yet. Did you guys see that he is the only "teenager" left. And now that the other 6 "teens" have been eliminated, he just stands out as even younger/more immature . . . but he will probably garner all the teeny-bopper and grandmother votes.

My top four (in no particualr order) . . . Carly, Brooke, Jason and Chikezie (based on last night . . . he better keep it up, though, or I'll drop him like a hot potato!! :lol: )

Okay, so after watching my recording of the last hour of last night's performances, I want two things for next week...

I want Amanda to sing a nice bluezy ballad and Ramiele to rock out, lol. :lol:

Don't get me wrong, I like Amanda and like her style, but I'm really wanting to see something a little different from her, and I want Ramiele to break loose and really rock out, lol.

:lol: Good plan.

I wasn't able to rewatch everyone today, but from what I saw I liked Carly, Amanda, Brooke, Chikezie, Jason, David Cook, and of course Michael.

There were some strong performances last night.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting!  The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.

      Gluten related ??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours.  I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body.   Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body, there are mast cells spreading histamine which causes inflammation.  Foods also contain histamine or act as histamine releasers.  Our bodies have difficulty clearing histamine if there's too much.  Following the low histamine AIP diet allows your body time to clear the excess histamine we're making as part of the autoimmune response, without adding in extra histamine from foods.  High histamine foods include eggs, processed foods and some citrus fruits.  The AIP diet allows meat and vegetables.  No processed meats like sausage, luncheon meats, ham, chicken nuggets, etc. No night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant).  No dairy.  No grains.  No rice.  No eggs.  No gluten-free processed foods like gluten free breads and cookies.  No nuts.  No expensive processed gluten-free foods.  Meat and vegetables.  Some fruit. Some fruit, like applesauce, contains high levels of fructose which can cause digestive upsets.  Fructose gets fermented by yeasts in the gastrointestinal tract.  This fermentation can cause gas, bloating and abdominal pain.   The AIP diet changes your microbiome.  Change what you eat and that changes which bacteria live in your gut.  By cutting out carbohydrates from grains and starchy veggies like potatoes, SIBO bacteria get starved out.  Fermenting yeasts get starved out, too.  Healthy bacteria repopulate the gut.   Thiamine Vitamin B 1 helps regulate gut bacteria.  Low thiamine can lead to SIBO and yeast infestation.  Mast cells release histamine more easily when they are low in Thiamine.  Anxiety, depression, and irritability are early symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  A form of thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Thiamine works with the seven other B vitamins.  They all need each other to function properly.   Other vitamins and minerals are needed, too.  Vitamin D helps calm and regulate the immune system. Thiamine is needed to turn Vitamin D into an active form.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Taking a B Complex and additional Benfotiamine is beneficial.  The B vitamins are water soluble, easily lost if we're not absorbing nutrients properly as with Celiac Disease.  Since blood tests for B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate, taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and magnesium Threonate, and looking for health improvements is a better way to see if you're insufficient.   I do hope you will give the low histamine AIP diet a try.  It really works.
