I wish I could post a picture of this because it was hilarious (as I understand it posting pictures is not allowed.). But on a recent trip to Mendoza, Argentina, I went to the zoo and you will never guess what I came across as one of the animals on display....

GUINEA PIGS!!!! I just thought this was hilarious. Lion, tiger, camel, guinea pigs, sheep, giraffe, and elephants, all your run of the mill zoo animals. :D

HAHAHA! I think guinea pig is on the menu in Peru!

Totally off topic - how was Mendoza? I'm about 4 hours away but haven't made the trip yet.

haha! I know there's an ecuadorian dish called cuy (pronounced "Kwee") that's fried guinea pig...I wouldn't be suprised if you can find it in other South American countries!

Yeah, they do eat guinea pig in Peru, I have a Peruvian friend and he broke the news to me.

Mendoza is great. I stayed there for a week during the fiestas patrias. They have a route where you can bicycle to all of these bodegas. It is really cheap to rent a bike and certain bodegas are free. It was too big to see everything, but there are a lot of ferias in the street. The zoo is huge (3 hours to see everything). It's really pretty, kind of in a natural setting, but a bit sketchy too. There was a monkey and bird that had escaped from their cages. When we told the people that worked there they said "Es normal." :blink:

I know this is the free of gluten-free section, but I have to say, there is a huge grocery store chain there that has a TON of gluten-free products (CHEAP gluten-free products). The store that had the most selection was next to plaza Chile (Hard to miss.)

I have to ask you kschauer about how you eat in Vi

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
