Wow~! What a night! Whichever side won there was going to be a very big and very important first.

The year I was born interracial marriages were actually illegal in this country. My own relationship with my beautiful man would have been illegal. It is like a miracle to think that in my lifetime things have changed so much.

I heard a very wonderful introduction to Obama yesterday on the radio. It was from a student in Philadelphia, I believe. It went something like this:

Rosa Parks sat so MLK would walk

MLK walked so Obama could run

Obama ran so that we all could fly.

Immortal words. No matter what side you were on, this was a fantastic election between two very worthy men.

I wonder what is next? We might be in for a bit of a bumpy take off.

D'you know what's really been bothering me? MLK said his dream was of a day when his children would be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. And yet ALLLLL the freakin media coverage I see of Obama is about the color of his skin. I'd like to hear more about the content of his character, I don't care what color his skin is. I just feel like this presidency should be about more than race relations.

It was an Historic race from the beginning to the end. It makes me proud to know that my daughter can run for president if she wants to. There is no longer a glass ceiling. :)

Somehow, I think he was elected because of the content of his character. As far as I know, african-americans are still a minority race in this country. That means people of all kinds of races voted for him. I did and I'm white.

It is historic because he has opened up the political world to all of us, not just white men. We are all Americans.

I hope the media cools it too.

woops........had to do a edit......it was Lisa 16 who gave such a great quote from a Philly student. Thanks loved it

Bunnie

Gosh, Isn't it amazing how we can all see things in such a different perscpecitve.

I didn't think Obama or the media were playing the race card. IMO there were so many times he tried to down play it with positive statements about what he wanted to be remembered for. Sure he is proud of his mixed heritiage but I didn't see him using it his advantage.

Obama even quoted MLK with the 'content of his character and not the color of his skin' as you said.

Isn't it great we live in this country where we can share how we can see and listen to the 'same interviews' and come away with totally different opinions of what we hear.

Viva la difference. :)

Thanks for sharing. You know I was just thinking.......Maybe we see things differently becasue of the news stations or cable stations we listen to. :lol:

Would really be interesting to see if we listened to the same ones. ;)

I would love to see this thread continue in a fun and informative manner as I know we aren't to really be able to talk politics here.......

Maybe we can call it..............media interpretations instead. :lol:

Exactly. It doesn't matter to me if we have a black president, or a woman. I honestly feel this country is ready for either one. The problem with this election is, it was based on the color of his skin, and not his character. From all I have learned about the content of his character, we are in big trouble. Many people were afraid to vote against him, they were afraid of the uprising that may have occured had he not been elected, and well they should be. By the way, he isn't our first black president, he is bi-racial, remember his mother is white. We seem to be an angry nation, we need to get back to taking care of our country, no matter what color skin we have.

When our country is having troubling times, we should pull together to fix our ailing country, we shouldn't have to worry about who is going to attack who. I am worried about what will happen to this country now, I hope my worry will be unwarranted.

This is not directed any anyone. There are a few subjects on this forum that tend to bring out a lot of emotion. Politics is one of them. A good healthy discussion is great, but please keep in mind that words can offend. Choose wisely. ;):D ....carry on.

I think both of the candidates have good characters. I voted on the issues. Especially health care. It's shameful that a country like ours lets people go without proper medical care. We can spend billions killing innocent children and people in Iraq, but we won't take care of our own citizens medical needs. That needs to change. Unfortunately, I think health care is already dead in the water due to the bailout of the economy.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
