Patti,

May I ask how much you pay for each carton and how much shipping it is. It is $9.25 (for 19.5 oz) at a store near us and if they charge a lot of shipping I could pick some up for you and ship it at exact cost. I don't know if they have both flavors or just plain. I have a scale and since I ebay I can also use paypal to print out the shipping slip and pay for the postage (at least I assume I can). Either way I have a scale so I would know the weight and what the postage would be.

Andrea--Thank you so much--how nice of you! I pay $7.93 per carton (there is a discount for ordering off the site). Off the top of my head, I think the shipping was around $7 (for 3 cartons)--ballpark. Probably is a wash because of the on-line discount. I appreciate the thought, though :)

My son (21) is an old car nut, and has two that he is restoring. He actually found one of the cars on ebay, and is a big user of them for parts, etc--buying and selling. He dosen't have a scale, though--you must do a lot of shipping! :D

Wow...I have so much catching up to do! :blink:

I'm getting lost on my own thread. :lol:

Rachel-

can you eat eggs now?

Nope...I dont eat them cuz I get a histimine reaction from them alot of the time....Sometimes I can eat them w/out a reaction but the majority of the time I react. I figure since its a major allergen I'll just steer clear till I can tolerate more things.

Rachel, is your coconut butter have any soy, caisen or corn in it. If it doesn't could you tell me the name of it. Thank you.

Hi Armetta...hope you are doing ok today. :)

The coconut doesnt have anything you listed in it. It actually says on the bottle "Absolutely no peanuts, gluten or dairy". The brand is Artisana...the only ingredient is raw organic coconut. Its really good so if you can tolerate coconut its a yummy and healthy way to get some fat into your diet.

This is a bit of what Armetta wrote...

"My cleaning lady had to call my doctor and an ambulance came and rushed me to the hospital - intensive care."

It was hard to understand if that happened today or she was telling a story of what happened before, but she's bad sick. I'm worried about her.

Please keep her in your prayers.

When I read that I took it to mean that the last time she took a steamy shower that happened, but I'm really worried about what Judy in Phili wrote after that post from Armetta:

ARMETTA NEEDS OUR HELP---- ASKS US FOR PRAYERS AGAIN

I JUST GOT ON LINE AND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND HER THREAD..I SPOKE WITH HER THIS MORNING AND SHE WASN'T GOOD...SHE ASKED ME TO POST FOR HER...SHE REALLY REALLY NEEDS OUR POWERFUL PRAYERS...

THIS IS A CUT AND PASTE SHE SENT ME...I'M SORRY I DIDN'T GET IT UP EARLIER BUT LET'S RALLY AROUND HER....

ARMETTA WROTE--

One used to own a home health care service. She said that it sounded like it has gone into pneumonia. I am going to call and see if they can squeeze me in earlier. I am getting worse by the hour. I don't wheeze at all anymore, the rock has gotten to heavy. I will email you after the doctor appt. If you could reactivate my thread for prayers, I would appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Love and Hugs,

Armetta

SO I'M STARING MINE NOW..SHE IS REALLY COUNTING ON US.

Floridian, This happened to Armetta a while ago--because of that experience, she is deathly afraid to go back into the hospital. She was supposed to see her doctor today, and I don't think anyone's heard yet what happened. It does sound bad, and I'm worried, also. If I do hear anything, I'll be sure to post. Praying here for better news. :)

Hey, did you notice Cupertino Nutrition is gone! I went there yesterday to get some dairy free chocolate chips and they were GONE! :(

What??!!

They were just there a few weeks ago. :blink:

Oh well...I had to stop going there cuz they have all the yummy stuff that I cant eat anyways. :(

Let me know when you find out about this other gluten-free store....what city is it in?

Glad to hear about your foot...thats good news! :)

I've never seen it in Whole Foods. I used to work at the Safeway in downtown Los Altos but in all the years I worked there I never went into Draegers which is on the same street. The other day I decided to check it out...I also went to Andronicos (same area). The only thing I found at Andronicos was the coconut butter....it was with all the jams and spreads. Draegers had alot of organic produce which is what I was looking for. They have a big sign outside that says "Organic and Gluten Free Foods". I did see a couple displays of gluten-free foods but you kind of had to look around for it. Andronicos is on Foothill Expressway....are you familiar with that area?

I'm on page 22 of this thread and want to read it all, there is so much I am figuring out by hearing your stories.

Hi Rinne! :)

I'm amazed that you're reading from page one! I hope you're a "speed reader" cuz this thread is moving faster than I can keep up. :P

I think its great that you've joined in and that you've learned some helpful things here.

Just a random thought... I read everyone's posts on here and in my head I imagine they sound like me, I wonder how many of us have different accents... :D

I dont have an accent at all...I dont even think I could fake it. :lol:

Learned something new today! As you all know, I'm a little skinny twig... my doctor wanted me to drink Carnation instant breakfast with every meal because I don't do well with straight vitamins... BUT, I was having a terrible time with that also...... I finally called Carnation today...the reason I was having a problem was that the liquid forms of the instant breakfast have barley... but the powder forms don't, except for the Malt flavor, that has gluten. SO....I am going BACK on Carnation Instant Breakfast Powder, Classic French Vanilla ONLY (which is TOTALLY gluten free)!!!! YAY... I will be getting my vitamins in a gentle way and hopefully I will start gaining weight!!!

Wow Floridian,

I'm glad you found out about this! I bet you're gonna feel so much better now. :)

I remember when I was losing tons of weight and I was crying in the doctors office...he told me to go home and eat bread. I told him bread makes me sick so he told me to get carnation instant breakfast and drink lots of it. OMG...that stuff killed me. I think it was probably mainly the dairy but I was sooo swollen and miserable the next day. I wanted to go back and punch that doctor right in the face! I kept telling him I was reacting to all this stuff but he wasnt listening. :(

YAY!

I'm all caught up on the reading now. :)

I got my meds in the mail today. I still havent decided when I'll start them though. I extended my vacation so that I dont have to go back to work until the 5th. I figured I'd take the holiday off too. Maybe about halfway through I'll start taking them and hopefully drowsiness wont be too bad cuz I dont want to be tired on the 4th.

The info. that came with the meds lists all the side effects...its the same list that miamia posted a few pages back. Drowsiness is the only symptom listed as being common though. The others are either less common or rare so that makes me feel better. I generally dont get side effects from drugs but I will react to stuff like starches, dyes, etc. Hopefully since this is compounded I'll do fine.

I'm feeling pretty good, doing great with my food. If somethings not right I'm really noticing it right away so I'm able to stop eating it and having less and less reactions. Its so weird how fast my body is reacting now.

The thing I'm having most trouble with is lettuce and greens...I dont think I've found any that dont cause a reaction. I'm having much better luck with fruit and some other veggies but it would be nice to be able to eat a salad. I think if I just keep trying different farms I'll eventually find one that doesnt cause a reaction. I havent been buying any lettuce or greens that doesnt have a label so that I can tell which stuff I need to avoid or which stuff I can tolerate. I'm also doing alot better by eating only organic...I'm noticing the difference now.

I've lost alot of puffiness but I've also lost 3 lbs. with it. Oh well...I dont want 3 lbs. of puffiness anyway. ;)

Oh..I started my cycle yesterday and I notice that I'm not feeling the ovary pain the last couple days....what could this mean? Is the cyst gone? :unsure:

I think I know where Draegers is and I can probably find Andronicos...I ocassionally travel down Foothill Expressway. It sounds like it will be worth the attempt, cuz that coconut butter sounds wonderful!

Yah, it was a shock...I went to the door to open it and it wouldn't open, lol. Then I actually looked at the window and everything was gone....then I walked back out to the parking lot to look at all the stores to make sure I was actually at the right place...thought maybe the quilting store went away, but nope...everything was there except CN...I tried going to their website today to and couldn't get connected. The new store is in San Jose near Oakridge Mall. My mother lives near there and I'll be over there on Saturday, so I'll check it out.

My hubby had his consult today with another doctor. He has a fissure which he is going to try and clear up himself. He need to make sure he gets 30 g of fiber a day and has to do sitz baths twice a day. Oh what fun. He gets up early enough.

Got my cookbooks today! :P Now I just need lots of time to peruse them. Went shopping and spent two fortunes. Wild Oats had a sale on frozen veggies and fruit so that was part of it.

Hubby is making pancakes for dinner since we got home late. He's the pancake man, I stay out of the kitchen when we have pancakes. He takes such good care of me. :D

I don't sell a lot, just always misguessed how much stuff weighed. We just mainly sell things we don't want anymore like outgrown clothes that are still in good shape. Don't make any money to speak of. I was really interested in trying to make some money but oh well.

I'm on page 22 of this thread and want to read it all, there is so much I am figuring out by hearing your stories. I realized MSG was bad for me about 15 years ago (I was 36) and thought I was avoiding it as I don't eat highly processed food and never if I can see what I recognize as MSG on it but it seems they are very clever at getting us to consume this poison. I never had the severity of the symptoms that you have, I felt like something was scratching my skin from the inside out, headaches and extreme irritability. I did some research then and learned that, as was mentioned earlier it actually changes your brain so that you want to eat it.

I am confused about MSG and gelatin, why would MSG be in gelatin?

rinne

I am also wondering about gelatine ( do you mean it contains MSG)?. Also you mentioned the blood diet, can you tell me about that? I believe I saw a reference to that earlier or somewhere here that it is connected to blood type, Right? am also interested in your type of arthritis ( spondylitic ) being connected to celiac disease?

If that is so my Dr. missed a chance 15 yrs ago to diagnose me as celiac when she told me I would be hunched over by year 2000/ spondylitic arthrits. I still have good posture but have pain part of the time at spine between shoulder blades. Is that where yours is located? pain also in wrists & 1 ankle. Thx for your anwers. Will finish reading these interesting posts!! Hope you have a good day. evie

I think the Metabolic Typing Diet is much more credible than the Blood Type Diet. Granted, I haven't read the blood type diet book...but anyone who's interested might want to look into the Metabolic Typing Diet as well...

Ah.. I don't know mine either and I really want to find out but keep forgetting to ask my doctor. Supposedly it can be really helpful. I figure if nothing else it tells you hat should and shoulden't be good for you and it would be interesting to see how that correlates with how I react to things.

Miamia

Oh I do have a bunch of info on what is good for each blood type I should list it, but I had a long day- don't know what happened but had really bad brain fog. I'm so angry this is one thing that had subsided but today It got so back I coulden't even talk I wanted to call some one to come get me but when you can't talk thats hard to do. I ended up standing in the middle of the street for like 15 minutes I'm sure I looked like a heroine addit- Thank god I live in New york.

I honestly dont know how constant its been because I used to be so messed up. My whole body was a wreck and I couldnt get out of bed or work or anything. I literally had pain everywhere so I cant pinpoint the ovary pain as being a constant thing. I know it was there though cuz I had written about in my journals.

I did the blood type diet, Eat Right for Your Blood Type, I think is what one of the books is called.

It's based on the theory that certain foods are good/bad for the different blood types. I am an A+ and if I remember correctly A's are supposed to do really well with a vegetarian diet, while O's can be naturally carnivores. It didn't do a thing for me because all of the allowed foods for A's are the foods that seemed to make me sick.

...But it might work for others.

Rachel, this is just my opinion, but I don't think you should be experiencing this much ovary pain for this length of time. I'm really concerned. :unsure:

A fissure is an infection, no?

I just ordered Gluten-Free Baking Classics by Annalise Roberts, I'm excited to get it and make some of what I hear are fabulous recipes :)

Join the club :unsure: I spoke too soon too.... I drank the carnation instant breakfast AND it's bothering me AGAIN..... I have NO problem with milk.... whatever :angry: what could be in this stuff that hurts!!!

Floridian I read the ingredients on the Carnation Instant Breakfast. I don't know what flavor you drank, they all seem to vary a little bit from flavor to flavor, but for the most part they have maltodextrin and several other processed/chemically ingredients that would definitely make me sick if I drank it.

I think it is like a tear that doesn't heal and keeps on building up. Should be treatable without surgery, but we'll know in about 4 weeks.

I just got Gluten-Free Baking Classics as well as Gluten Free Family Cookbook and 125 Best Gluten Free Recipes by Donna Washburn and Heather Butt. Still need to look through them all.

We are self-cleaning the oven, it stinks in here!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.
