We're watching the women's gymnastics right now. The Olympics are cool. Earlier they had the synchronized diving, which was really cool B)

The men's swimming relay race was AWESOME! Started with some trash talk to get everyone fired up. Beat the old world record by 4 seconds. I think even the fifth place finishers beat the old world record. WOW!

That was an amazing moment last night with the 400m relay!!!!!!!!!!!!! The last leg swimmer was an entire full body length behind and to catch up and win it, OMG, so exciting!!!!!!

Dara Torres is such an inspiration too. I hope she does well in her upcoming events.

I remember that 33 yr old gymnast from years ago. I didn't realize she was still competing until they showed that little story about her on the coverage yesterday. I don't know why we didn't hear more about it leading up to the lympics, that's quite amazing to still be competing at that level in such a physically demanding sport. I hope she does well

:o I did see the coverage on her yesterday. This just amazes me. Can you imagine how hard she has to train to keep up with the younger competitors or maybe this just comes natural to her.

I'm glad I'm not the only one watching. It seems like it's not as important as it was when I was a kid. The morning radio show I was listening to didn't even know how many medals Micheal Phelps had won and whether they were this years or last or all together. I realize that this probably means they have a busy life but, sheesh, this is the OLYMPICS. The best athletes in the world competing and representing us.

Mens gymnastics was so distressing last night, I felt so bad for all of the competitors. They didn't seem to be able to focus or luck just wasn't with them. A Japanese guy fell off the pommel horse twice and the Chinese or maybe Russian guy fell off the rings and a guy crashed the landing off the vault. It was amazing to watch.

The synchronized diving fascinates me, how do they do that? I'm lucky to jump in with any amount of grace let alone twist-turn-roll and go in with no splash. I can't wait for the individual events.

Phelps goes for 6 & 7 tonight, woohoo go Phelps. Any of you old enough to remember Mark Spitz? That thick mustache and cocky attitude was such a change from traditional olympian demeanor.

Ya know, I was a little disappointed with the USA gymnastic team. (mens) Did you see how cocky they were. This was a little embarrasing seeing as though they represent the USA. I dont know, they are young and maybe they dont realize how they came across.

They are all really young and this was their first Olympics. I think the fact that none of them made the individual competition took some wind out of their sails though.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
