Someone Did Something Nice For Me Today.

I was in my stats class today, and one of my classmates brought in cookies for a birthday (not even hers, someone else in the class).

She knows that I have celiac disease, I sat with her at this reception that we had to go to and I couldn't eat anything they had.

Anyway, she brought in a couple dozen cookies for the whole class, and after she had given those out she came over to me, handed me an orange and said "I know that you can't have the cookies so I brought you this instead."

I thought that was SO nice! I couldn't even believe it, what a thoughtful thing to do. I almost got teary-eyed over it!

That is great! And keep an eye on that classmate. With that ability to grasp the pertinent information and actually apply it, she should do well in her career. I know, I'm always looking for someone willing to actually take the information she's given and use it.

That is super nice! I can top it though! I have a coworker who made a pasta dish for a company potluck and she went to Trader Joe's and got gluten-free pasta to make it with.. and then went out of her way to find gluten-free soy sauce..and then okay'd all of the ingredients w/ me before making it!

Wow, thats really sweet!!

Last year, my friend was bringing in some type of fudge that she makes at home. I mentioned that I had celiac disease before, and she was really nice about it. She told me all of the ingredients and made sure she was really careful about making it. I was so happy and touched that she would do that for me. :D

I almost forgot about the time that my daughter and I were invited to a friends sons birthday party... Because she really wanted us to be able to enjoy the party, she MADE Pamela's gluten-free brownie mix into animal shapes and was very careful about making it, she also had veggie trays and other gluten-free snacks! We were so touched that she made the effort! Friends like that are hard to come by!

      Please read the original post--they are looking for a gluten and milk-free treat to replace Tootsie Rolls for their child who loves Tootsie Rolls, but can no longer have them due to a dairy issue--they are not looking for M&M's.

      They both do.  The peanuts add nutrients to the treat. Tootsie Roll: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Condensed Skim Milk, Cocoa, Whey, Soy Lecithin, Artificial and Natural Flavors. M&M Peanut: milk chocolate (sugar, chocolate, skim milk, cocoa butter, lactose, milkfat, peanuts, soy lecithin, salt, natural flavor), peanuts, sugar, cornstarch; less than 1% of: palm oil, corn syrup, dextrin, colors (includes blue 2 lake, blue 1 lake, red 40, yellow 6 lake, yellow 5, yellow 6, blue 1, yelskim milk contains caseinlow 5 lake, blue 2, red 40 lake), carnauba wax, gum acacia. glycemic index of Tootsie Rolls ~83 gycemic index of M&M Peanuts ~33   The composition of non-fat solids of skim milk is: 52.15% lactose, 38.71% protein (31.18% casein, 7.53% whey protein), 1.08% fat, and 8.06% ash.   https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9781118810279.ch04  Milkfat carries the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. The solids-not-fat portion [of milk] consists of protein (primarily casein and lactalbumin), carbohydrates (primarily lactose), and minerals (including calcium and phosphorus). https://ansc.umd.edu/sites/ansc.umd.edu/files/files/documents/Extension/Milk-Definitions.pdf

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.
