My beloved cousin in Boston canNOT stop recommending this book to me - - I don't have the heart to tell her that I can't even phinish it (though.........I can't PROMISE I won't finish it - - there is a train-wreck fascination to just how truly insipid and awful it is, adn I pick it up every few nights :ph34r::lol: )

GIAH-KNIT, what was that solipsistic book you were reading - or trying to read - was it "Eat, Pray, Love" by chance?

Because......I just borrowed it from my mom, who couldn't finish it - nor could her entire book club finish it - and I have just done something I haven't done in decades - - threw it across the room - twice in one night (to Kissey's great amusement) because.......well I have never read such poorly-written drivel in all my life...... :unsure:

Yep, that's the one. I couldn't finish it. Probably half the book club couldn't finish it. Only one person from our club had anything positive to say about it (she related to the divorce) but the rest of us thoroughly enjoyed bashing the author and her book.

I had to use forced waiting periods to get any reading done on it . . . whilst waiting for me mammogram . . . whilst waiting for me root canal . . . whilst waiting for the bamboo shoots to be driven in under me fingernails.

:huh: I don't get it.......was such a massive bestseller........I was reading it the other day, many many tedious paragraphs describing her first meal in Italy.......now, I love Italy as much or more than anyone else, and gawd knows I love me some good phood porn......but I was OUT OF MY MIND with anger and boredom, all at once. :lol: I love reading about people's journeys and their transformation from something awful.......and COULD NOT CARE LESS about this woman...........

She's one of Oprah's gurus now, too. <_< I seriously don't get the fascination......

you are NOT dissing Oprah!?!?

I haven't cared for the couple of her books that I've read either, but she has gotten thousands of people to read. That's worth a lot, in my book.

Remember House of Sand and Fog? I threw it in the trash.......have never hated a book more... :lol: (I trade many books at used book store)

Am going to attempt Pillars of the Earth - looks long but quite good.

True that. Alas, I think her audience is a demographic that is largely readers, anyway......but who knows.

If only we could get her to read the silly thread (if she isn't already :lol: ). Life-changing, for her viewers, and for Oprah herself, fo' shizzle.

I'm generally not a phan of Archer, but I loved Pillars. Think you'll like this one, Susie. :)

I think Oprah is on here..... .. just something I've been suspecting... .. one of those ''guests" or anonymous users... .. Hell, how long does Oprah think she can stay anonymous?

We all know that Oprah owns the world, or a large chunk of it...but she doesn't own Sillyville..... .. I think she's gotten wind of us, of this amazing, untouched place, and she wants in.........

Wait!!!!!....

Haven't seen Llamalady in a few pages..........

Could it be???!!!.... . . ..

I read a few on her list. I read several of the titles when she first started the book club, but I have no memory of them :lol: I do remember I could not get into Jewel. A New Earth is sitting on my dresser unfinished <_<

Anna Karinana I love, one of my favorite books, but I read it way before she put it on her list :P

      Still unsure.....

      By badastronaut · Posted

      Dear forum members, I’m still trying to find out whether or not I actually have gluten sensitivity or not. Recent blood test showed a slightly elevated Bilirubine and Lipase but an abdominal ultrasound showed no problems with the liver or pancreas. My zinc and folic acid where both too low. When I eat gluten I get a lot of mucus with my stool and most of the times it’s quite thin. As soon as I take gluten away from my diet my stool becomes normal. I also have been quite anxious and little bit down for quite some time now and it seems to correlate with my gluten intake. The problem is that my colonoscopy showed no damage to my gut and my blood test for celiac always come back negative. Can you be gluten sensitive without damage to your villi? (I believe that’s what is normally seen in celiac disease). Thanks for helping! I don’t seem to get anywhere with my doctor so I thought I’d give this forum another try.

      Can gallbladder issues cause symptoms of celiac disease?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @robingfellow and @Mr-Collateral531, I also had to have my gallbladder removed in emergency surgery.  The gallbladder uses lots of thiamine vitamin b1 to function.   The gallbladder cannot secrete bile if it doesn't have sufficient thiamine.  Thiamine provides our muscles and glands energy to move and secrete needed enzymes and hormones.  The thyroid is another gland that requires lots if thiamine to function and secrete hormones.   Our brains, just thinking at a desk job, requires as much thiamine as our muscles do if running a marathon.   Migraines are linked to thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is the first of the eight B vitamins that our body needs. Thiamine can only be stored for three weeks at most.  Our thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  We need more thiamine when we have a physical injury (like recovering from surgery or fighting the flu), if we're emotionally stressed or traumatized, and if we're physically active.  Thiamine, like the other B vitamins, is water soluble and easily excreted in urine or most in diarrhea.  B vitamins are commonly poorly absorbed in Celiac Disease.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins need to be taken together because they interact with each other to make life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine deficiency can affect individual organs.  Gallbladder dysfunction is connected to thiamine deficiency, as is hypothyroidism.    Migraines are connected to thiamine deficiency.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi (abdominal pain, vomiting, etc.) is a result of thiamine deficiency.  Tachycardia and fatigue are also symptoms of thiamine deficiency.   Thiamine and magnesium make enzymes that are essential for life.   Thiamine is needed to absorb certain minerals like iron.  Anemia and thiamine deficiency frequently occur together.  Thiamine deficiency can cause poor blood cell production (including low antibody production).   Thiamine interacts with other vitamins and minerals.  Vitamin D is not utilized by the body until turned into an active form by Thiamine. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  High doses of thiamine correct deficiencies quickly which prevent further health deterioration.  A one a day type multivitamin is not sufficient to correct vitamin and mineral deficiencies that occur in the malabsorption of Celiac Disease.   The Gluten free diet is low in vitamins as they are not required to be enriched with vitamins lost in processing.  Supplementing with thiamine and the B vitamins boosts their absorption.   Helpful Reading: Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Wernicke's Encephalopathy Triggered by One Session of Heavy Drinking https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6739701/ P. S. Try a DNA test to see if you have any known genes for Celiac Disease before doing a gluten challenge.

      Certified gluten free oats

      Thanks for the reply ! I am asking because tomorow i have egd and nobody told me not to eat gluten-free oats… and i was scared that it could ruin my biopsy results…

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I would think that for the 10% of celiacs who can't tolerate oats it would cause villous atrophy just like gluten. No, it would not produce marsh 3b villous atrophy in a couple of days. Nothing will produce measurable villous atrophy that fast. It takes at least two weeks of at least 10g of gluten consumption daily (10g is the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread) to develop measurable villous atrophy and even then probably not 3b villous atrophy. Are you asking these questions in because you are considering taking on a gluten challenge?

      Thanks for the awnsers i understand there is maybe system reaction but do they create or cause villious atrophy? And igmf you it them for example a couple of days di they instantly induce marsh 3b?
