Couldn't tell if the original question was re favorite sport to observe or do. I'm not much of a sports observer at all, but I love biking. Last year I did 2000 miles - hope to do more this year.

17-1 final score...and Baltimore won, as well-- it would ideal to have Boston or Baltimore take the division and the other take the wild card--can you imagine? Boston wins one year, Yankees don't even make the playoffs the next.

I'm not too big on TV, but I like to watch snow, skate, and bmx videos, and of course mountain bike flicks. Basketball and hockey are o.k. to watch, but I'd much rather be out doing something than watching t.v. (no offense guys!)

As far as my favorite sport, it's downhill mountain biking by far. I just spent the last three days out at Keystone resort in Colorado and I am beat today!

Fun topic!

I agree I would much rather be out there doing something. I don't watch much tv but I have to say I have to see my Nascar races every week :D

I'm a big multitasker so if I am at home and have to sit there and study or be on the computer I will turn on the tv too..so that way many things get accomplished :lol:

Wow that sounds like fun! I've always wanted to try mountain biking but there are no mountains where I live ;)

I am into water polo. It is the gratest sport ever invented. It wasn't on there so I voted for swimming because it is a great sport, too.

I was the lone football vote but I equally love hockey. Last year was horrible, hopefully we will get to see some on TV this year, since they lost their contract with ESPN! I am sure they have to start showing some games at least.

Go Colts! (and Dophins because I grew up in Miami, even though they really stink right now)

Go Av's!

I know!!! Mr " I never took steroids in my life" gets suspended. I thought something was up when he was doing nothing for a while and then started doing really good. He says it was just an accident :lol: RIIIGGHHTTT

I teach kids Soccer, in our local community, and I used to teach kayaking.

I still get out in my kayak whenever I can.

I ride a mountain bike, but not off road anymore, and I enjoy teaching people how to paddle properly and commune with seals, eagles, and sea otters (if you're lucky) when you're out paddling in the local waters.

No matter what sport it is, if you're into it, that's all that counts.

Have a Great Summer.

Enjoy everybody!!!

I know. They keep replaying that tape of him speaking to congress and going "I have never taken sterioids" on ESPN. He goes from saying "NO WAY" to the allegations to..."maybe it happened accidentally" to "I made a mistake" (is that an admission of guilt)?

Too bad this is my last week interning in Congress I would've went to his hearings. Awwwwww.

Congressman Davis is holding hearings to see if he lied in March..

He lied...and under oath too. Everyone knows it too. I bet more people in baseball use steroids. Think about it...they only do urine tests though..alot of the guys inject right into the blood stream and alot of the time just won't show in the urine tests. I bet if they did blood samples then things would be different and the whole MLB would likely be suspended.

Just look at Sammy Sosa...I think his arm size decreased by a good 6 inches this year since he got off steroids. He's not doing good at all either.

They have made a mockery of these baseball "rules"

Carolina Hurricanes Hockey!! (even if it is referred to as Redneck Hockey by the rest of the NHL) First season game is next week :D:D

I too must admit to enjoying the cheerleading competitions. I guess that's why I have this terrible habit of stopping on whatever channel is showing the movie "Bring it On" ;-)

My favorite to play growing up was softball. It's been years, but I'm working towards being able to play again. I'm hoping next summer to join the church league.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium. I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells. When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
