I like to watch swimming and gymnastics too. I love the water anyway but i also like to watch gymnasts because it just amazes me all the flips and tricks they can do.

Gymnastics is what I try to catch of the Olympics. I'm more of an X Games kind of girl, love the extreme sports!!! ?

They hype it up so much on TV that I almost get tired of watching even before it's begun. But having a couple friends over for a pot luck to watch the opening ceremonies. Wonder if they can top China? :rolleyes:

I love the stadium jumping and Dressage stuff.

One of the swimmers, Dana Vollmer is Gluten Intolerant! They did a little news blurb about it after she won her gold medal.

This is the video link to the CNN story. I thought it was really cool. Gives me hope I might be able to run again some day.

I am suffering from Olympic fatigue......I am glued to the set and need this to end so I can get some sleep! :lol:

I love it all but I have to admit China did a better job with the opening ceremonies. I love London and the UK but it was more like a Hollywood production and soon got boring. You just cannot beat what China did with the movement all of those people lined up and synchronized! It was so different than anything else done so far.

      Thank you 😊 I will certainly have those tests done to be thorough although bright red color indicates lower down.  This information is very interesting,  Thank you so much 🙏🏻

      As Plumbago mentioned, bleeding in the upper end of the GI track tends not to show up as bright red in color because it gets acted upon by the digestion process and more thoroughly mixed in with food residues that are passing through the intestines.

      @Bronwyn W Working with your medical provider, you could do a complete blood count test. If you were bleeding say from an ulcer in the stomach (and let's hope not), your red blood cells could be low and your hemoglobin low as well. Your stools may show up as the proverbial "dark and tarry," indicative of a bleeding site further away from the anus. Basically, you may be anemic. Your heart may be beating extra fast as a way to compensate for the decreased number of blood cells, your oxygen saturation may be lower than normal on a pulse oximeter, and so on. But talk to your doctor.

      Thank you for this insight. I have had rectal bleeding after glutening and subsequent constipation (+ IBS-C) and always attributed it to internal hemorrhoids (diagnosed). What I wasn't aware of is the possibility of bleeding further up the digestive tract. Please can you elaborate on the causes and symptoms to watch for?

      Still unsure.....

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).
