In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Do your visits with your long distance girlfriend feel fun and interesting, or like an obligation?  If you are not looking forward to future visits with your girlfriend, this is a major sign that the relationship may not be working. If making plans to see each other feels like a chore, then a long distance relationship may not be the best. Sometimes relationships do not work out because your values and goals are not compatible with the other person's values and goals. It's okay to have some differences, but major differences like different religious beliefs, life goals, or other important things may interfere with a harmonious relationship. If you find that you are often fighting because you value different things, then this might be a sign that the relationship will not work out.  For example, if you value time with family and friends more than money and professional success, then this could be a problem if your girlfriend is really focused on her career right now. Or, if one of you wants kids and the other one does not, then this could cause serious problems down the road. Try making a list of values, beliefs, and goals that you have in common with your girlfriend, and a separate list of values, beliefs, and goals that you do not have in common. If the list of things you do not have in common is longer than the list of things you do have in common, then this may be a reason to break it off. If you're finding yourself interested in someone else, then consider if this long distance relationship is working.  Long distance relationships can require a bit more commitment, so be aware of whether this type of relationship is right for you.  You may feel torn if she was your high school sweetheart, and now you're finding new love interests in college.  Avoid cheating on your girlfriend as an "out" from the relationship.  If you find yourself thinking more about someone else than your girlfriend, talk with your girlfriend first. Avoid hurting your girlfriend's feelings further by lying or covering up about what's bothering you. Sometimes your life gets in the way of love.  If you've been dating your girlfriend for a few months, and now are back to your different lives in different cities, the passion and desire to continue this relationship may have changed.  You may find after dating long distance for a few months that you and your girlfriend are actually headed in very different directions.  Maybe the support she needs is different from what you can offer. For example, let's say you were dating for the summer, and now that school has started again you're in different cities, at different schools, and have different commitments to work or activities.  You may feel less connected to your girlfriend now that you have some distance and are back to focusing on your studies and spending time with friends. Do you feel like you're communicating less and less with your girlfriend? Do you feel like scheduling calls and frequent weekend trips is just too much?  It may be time to talk with your girlfriend about this.  A long distance relationship, after only knowing your girlfriend for a few months, is likely to be very difficult. Be mindful that if you've been dating your girlfriend for a year or more, then you need to assess if it is the long distance part that is the difficulty, the relationship itself, or both.
Summary: Assess if you look forward to seeing your girlfriend next. Compare your values with her values. Figure out if the relationship is holding you back. Evaluate if your lives are heading in very different directions. Identify if the long-distance routine is getting too difficult.

Most adults who follow a healthy, balanced diet that contains milk, dairy products, and fish should be able to meet their iodine requirements. But supplements containing iodine can help you meet your iodine needs if you do not or cannot consume iodine-rich foods. It’s important to speak to your doctor before you take iodine supplements to ensure you are taking the correct amount and you are taking the iodine supplement that is right for your body. You should always talk to your doctor before taking supplements, especially if you have thyroid disease, are taking other medications, or if you have experienced iodine deficiency over a long period of time. Keep in mind that these supplements are dangerous for people with kidney disease, so talk to your doctor first. The capsules should not exceed the daily adult requirement of 150 mcg/day. Do not take seaweed or kelp supplements as sources of iodine. The amount of iodine in these supplements can vary and in some cases, provide excessive quantities of iodine. It can be difficult to meet the higher recommended iodine intake when you are pregnant or breastfeeding through just diet alone. But many multivitamin and mineral supplements contain iodine. Check the labels of these supplements to make sure they provide 140 - 150 mcg of iodine. The remainder of the required iodine intake can be met by your diet. If you consume high quantities of iodine-rich foods while pregnant, you may not need to take an iodine supplement. Check with your doctor about your iodine levels before you take any supplements.

Problem: Article: The big four gluten culprits are wheat, rye, barley, and triticale. Avoid these in all cases, whether you are only gluten-intolerant or have celiac.  Wheat to avoid includes kamut and spelt. Because wheat often goes by another name, here are varieties of wheat to also definitely avoid:  Bulgur Durum flour Farina Graham flour Kamut Semolina   Rye contains a protein called secalin, which is a form of gluten.  Triticale, a cross between rye and wheat, is actually a hybrid designed in laboratories in the late 19th century.  Barley is the last big gluten cereal to avoid. It is commonly made into meals and used in alcohol production, among others. White oats themselves do not contain gluten, they are often cross-contaminated with wheat because both are commonly processed in the same facilities. Avoid eating oats and oatmeal unless the packaging specifically designates the product as gluten-free. In theory, the distillation process removes all gluten proteins if done properly, even if the alcohol was manufactured using a glutinous grain (such as wheat, barley, or rye).  You can safely drink alcohols such as vodka manufactured from wheat, but be wary of beer. Look for beer that is specifically designated gluten-free. In theory, the distillation process removes all glutinous proteins. But in reality, cross-contamination may occur. Not only this, but some distillers may add mash to alcohols after distillation as a filler. This may cast doubt on alcohol's ability to deliver truly safe results. If you really want to be careful, stick with potato-based vodkas, tequilas and mescals, or rums. These all contain non-gluten grain sources, so they should be fine to drink. Checking labels is important. While many of the following kinds of foods have been and are being made gluten-free, many of them aren't. It's better to be safe than sorry. Avoid:  Breads, croutons, cereals, and crackers Cookies, cakes, and candies Imitation meat, imitation seafood, processed lunch meats, and "self-basting" poultry Salad dressings, gravies, sauces (such as soy sauce), and vegetables in sauces Pastas and "seasoned" rice mixes Soups, matzo, and processed snacks like chips (potato chips and tortilla chips)
Summary:
Always avoid the big four. Watch out for oats and oatmeal. Enjoy distilled alcohols but avoid beers unless they are specifically gluten-free. Avoid the following foods unless labels specify they are gluten-free.
