Ok, why would you need to close your eyes to like David Cook? I think he's freakin adorable. And Paula was right when she said women like smart men. I wouldn't want Tennis Boy to father my children, sorry. I'd pick the guy who understands me when I use big words. And he's so cute!

:lol::lol: Different taste... I don't care for the greasy, just woke up out of bed look that he has. I said I liked him better when I only had to listen to him. Who is Tennis Boy? :lol::lol:

I never did finish watching last week's performances.

I'm so out of the loop, lol. I haven't been watching at all since they stopped airing at 8:00...I guess I need to set my recorder so I can at least see the performances, lol.

I do tend to find that my tastes differ from a lot of women's. I actually don't think Michael Johns is attractive at all, he sneers when he sings. Totally puts me off. 'Tennis Boy' was referring to a promo spot they ran about a guy who's 'surpising thing about himself' is that he plays tennis. Gee, that's fascinating. I don't remember which one of them that was though, it's kinda funny if it's Michael Johns.

Yeah Michael is an athlete, he has played a lot of different sports but went to college on a tennis scholarship. He also has been a tennis intructor the last few years.

I like Michael Johns too. :)

I thought everyone did pretty well last night. It wasn't my favorite from David Cook, but even his average is pretty darn good.

My favorite performances were Michael Johns and Jason Castro.

I'm going to pull a Randy and say that everyone else "was just allright for me" :lol:

They weren't bad, but they didn't blow me away either.

I like Michael Johns too. :)

I think that makes three of us in the Micahel Johns fan club now :lol:

Jason Castro blew me away last night. I think that was by far his best performance. I love that version of Somewhere over the Rainbow and he did it beautifully.

I agree. It was amazing and Jason sang it so beautifully.

That is one of my favorite songs, the version that he sang of Iz Kamakawiwoʻole's.

Mmmmm... Me too. I get choked up every time I hear it. Last night was no exception. The original version of the song just doesn't have the same passion as Iz's.

My 6 year old niece wanted to know if Paula was embarassed because of her boobs falling out. I found that to be an odd choice of a dress (or shirt, what was it?).

Did anyone who watched Idol Gives Back think CELIAC when that poor autoimmune disease riddled family was on?

I didn't see the show, but I did see a clip of Michael Johns singing Aerosmith and that's the first time I've liked him. I still don't think he's attractive though. He just looks... tense. I gotta look up the clips of the other performances. I do like Jason Castro, he's the kinda guy I'd go see in a cabaret setting, not the kinda guy who sells out civic centres. I shouldn't say that though, because I saw John Andrasik from Five for Fighting in a multi-artist concert in a huge civic centre and he just played his piano and he had EVERYONE'S attention. So maybe JAson Castro really could 'get there'. I also think he's a STONER!

And I love Iz too, anybody heard Eva Cassidy's version?

I'll join that club. He's my favorite, out of the guys.

That was my favorite performance the other night. The rest were just all right for me too. :lol: I won't surprise you all by saying that I really did not like David Cook, even with my eyes closed. :lol:

:lol: Cheri

I also tivod it, so I'll look for that family you are talking about Angie.

I peeked in this thread to see who got kicked off, but I guess they didn't do it last night on the special? I noticed on the tv schedule there is an extra show this week on tonight for the elimination.

Geesh, these two and three nights a week shows are killing me trying to keep up!

Cheri A Contributor

:o:o:( Unbelieveable!!

Geesh, these two and three nights a week shows are killing me trying to keep up!

Yes, I agree! Currently, I work part-time some nights. When I'm home, we rarely turn the TV on until after 9:00 p.m.. Thank goodness for Tivo!!

Okay, so who went home, lol? I didn't see the show last night and didn't record it. :(

Michael Johns :o

Totally shocked the heck out of me!

DingoGirl Enthusiast

I know! :( He was my favorite....that was wrong. :( I really thought Kayesha or the Irish girl should have gone.

dlp252 Apprentice

Wow, that really is a shocker!!!! I really liked how he did his song too.

Guhlia Rising Star

I totally thought Syesha was going to go... What a shocker! I really hope Carly gets the boot soon. lol

I thought so too. I am not liking Carly as much as I used too. I still really like Brooke.

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
