Laptop Lunchbox Users...a Question For You

I bought two Open Original Shared Link from Whole Foods last weekend. I was disappointed to see that only one of the four main food compartments has a snap on lid. I thought the whole idea behind laptop lunchboxes was food separation and the ability to pack leftovers. Although the main outside box has a lid, I wondered if the food seems to spill out when carried sideways in an insulated lunchbox carrier?

Are you happy with your Laptop system? What would you change? What problems have you found?

Thank you! I am excited to use these during the school year!

I love our Laptop Lunchbox. We haven't had any issues with spillage or compartments leaking into eachother and absolutely *love* it. The main outside box really does the trick, and my DD twists and turns her lunchbox every which way.

It has been a true blessing to have this lunchbox. It really takes the guesswork out of packing lunch.

We are 100% in love with our laptop lunches. We use them every day that we eat lunch away from home.

You really only need the lid on an individual container if that food is really wet. Like soup or yogurt. Otherwise, everything will stay put just fine.

If you read the FAQ on the laptop lunches website, they answer why they designed it with only one individual lid. Mostly for aesthetics -- it's fun to open that main lid and see all kinds of different foods.

Thank you so much for your input. I'll go check out the FAQ on the LL site next!

Another question: Whole Foods didn't offer the insulated case. I thought our existing lunchboxes would fit the LL, but it is a smidge too tight. Unless you purchase the LL case, where did you find a bag or case that will fit them?

Thank you!

My husband and I use the LL insulated cases, but we didn't think they were girly enough for my daughter. So we bought her one from a local toy store that is very girly.

I saw some at Wal-Mart just today that would have worked. Or head on over to Target.

There's nothing special about the LL carrying case so don't worry too much about it.

Hi, what if you are sending in something warm, like chicken nuggets. Do they stay warm?

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Positive gliadin (deamidated) IgG, normal everything else?

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
