Good Alternative For A Wheat Bag?

Hi all,

It's been really really really cold here the last few weeks so I've been taking a microwavable heating bag to bed with me. I was also feeling a tad bit off during that time and then my hubby pointed out that my microwaveable bag is a wheat bag. LOL I stopped using it about a week ago and I feel really good now... I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but I seem to feel better (if not colder) without it so I won't use it again. And no I was not chewing on the bag in my sleep. ;) LOL

Anyway, It's still way too close to -30C for me to sleep comfortably so I want another heating bag! Any ideas for a good alternative to a wheat bag? I really don't like hot water bottles, and I don't trust electric heating pads while I sleep, so any ideas would be welcome because I'm sure we still have a few more weeks of cold snaps to expect this winter.

Thanks!

Naw...Threads fall off the main screen after a few days of no answers. Filling one with cheap rice works well if you just want it to stay in one place as they are heavy. My boys liked to put their legs on top of them in bed when they had " growing pains". I would hear the microwave" Bing" in the middle of the night.

I got an email this morning from Costco and the first thing that jumped out at me was microwavable stuffed animals and I thought of you. It says something about how they're for kids, but whatever. I think I may just get one for myself! I just have to decide between a bunny and a hippo. I guess giraffes make poor heat packs with their long necks.

I'm going to look for that! Does it say what they are filled with? Not really worried about the filling but ...curious.

If these are the same, it's corn (bottom of the page).

That's them! Aren't they stinkin adorable? When you feel like hell and need a heating pack, I don't care how old you are, having an animal instead of a boring old bag will be good for the soul. :)

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By DjinnDjab · Posted

      i am a 37 yo male and this describes me perfectly. on a scale of 1-10, i am at 8. 9. 10, 11 for 8-12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. this has been going on for about 5 years and i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships so i spend a lot of time with myself. and uhhh what really sucks is uhh, sorry to say, "enjoying myself" is a trigger for this pain. i can be fine all day until i take 5 mins to "myself" and then its all downhill from there. this has robbed me of every.single.thing in my once colorful life.

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.
