Hi Ladies,

I couldn't get to the AGM today, and I heard there was going to be vendors there. Anything new I should be on the lookout for?

I'd be upset if I missed any freebies, I'd rather give Ty some free stuff to decide if he likes it than spend $$$ and end up tossing it.

Linda, I wish I could have went but I had to work today and I had a class right after work. I really wanted to go as I have not had a chance to go to any meetings yet. I wanted to see if there was anything new but you and I are in the same boat. Hope skokimom went.

Drat! I had stuff to do this morning and it took longer than I thought. Not only didn't I get to the meeting, I was fifteen minutes late for work this afternoon.

Maybe I'll check the website in a couple of days to see if they post anything about it.

Rusla Enthusiast

Good idea, I will check also in a few days.

I was so upset when they called the other day to remind me and I knew I couldn't go. That is the problem, I work every weekend.

Me too. And I'm part-time so if I don't work, I don't get paid. Actually, I booked next Saturday off. Get home from work about 12:45am on Saturday and then have to get up for a road trip to Edmonton. Just a quick overnight. Our first road trip dealing with Ty's gluten-free needs. Get up Sunday morning and have to be back at work by 3:45pm.

So, you are shafted like me.You have no benefits or recourse if you are sick a day. I lost all of mine when I had to move from driving bus to the office. I was not suppose to lose my status but the union did not do anything to help the two of us who got shafted. I am worse than part-time right now, I am what they call on-call. That is why I have other things I do to make money.

That is one quick trip you are on. I hope you have a good time, and it is gluten uneventful.

Nope. Not a member. My sister is, I pilfer info off of her. I didn't hear her mention anything either, so I doubt she went.

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.
    • Steve-n-Portland
      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)
