Anybody know anything about these? According to the label, they are gluten-free/DF and they are on Gordon Food Service's gluten free list, but their gluten free list doesn't really take into account CC.

I would make sure to buy the whole bag.  It looks like 4 pounds, if a size like that is available, that wouldn't be too bad.  Now a 25 pound bag... well... you better get ready to stuff your face with chocolate!

Yeah, my GFS has the 4 lb bag. They are a lot cheaper than Enjoy Life chocolate chips.

Enjoy Life has gluten-free and dairy -free chocolate chips too, if those don't work out for you.

So true! My son has a tree nut allergy so it's a good one for us.

Do you have to buy only stuff made in nut free facilities?

I found Enjoy Life chocolate chips in a bulk bag online (5 lb) but ironically the bulk bag doesn't save any money at all. They cost me $4.99 per 10 oz bag at the store and this bag is $39.99 for 5 pounds, which equals around the same unit price.

We try really hard to do that. He is df,gluten-free, and nu-free... my hardest child to feed.

 

Up here, the Enjoy Life choc chips are $5.99-$6.99.  For some reason, food in Canada cost 10-50% more than in the States.  Actually, EVERYTHING coasts 10-50% more than in the States. I think our average house price in my city is about $430,000.... I'm bitter.  ;)

That does sound hard, dairy free, gluten free, and nut free. I'll bet that meats, fruits, veggies, and rice are some of your best allies. :)

 

The stuff in Canada does sound expensive! And the Canadian dollar and US dollar are pretty similar in value these days right?

 

In our area, you can get a house in good condition with a few acres of land for $80,000 or so. We live in Michigan.

Oh yeah. Luckily he would live on raw fruits and veggies if I let him.... and I mostly do.  LOL

 

Our dollars are similar but we're a little below right now. The problem is that even when our dollar is worth more than the American, stuff still costs more.  My son's book is sitting in front of me and in the US the price is $9.95 but up her it would cost $13.95; that would be true of books published here too. There can be some huge differences.

 

$80,000 for a house and a few acres?  NO FAIR! The only thing you can get for under a $100K here would be a mobile home; you can't even get a very very scary apartment. We sold our last house, 900sq feet on a 48 foot (frontage)lot, near the city centre, for about $480,000 - they bulldozed it and built a new bigger house so their lot cost them about $500, 000 when all was said and done.  We live in an expensive city, but still.  If you want to be truly frightened, look at the realestate listings for Bearspaw and Springbank which is just west of Calgary; tonnes of multimillion dollar homes on 4 or so acres.  Huge houses! www.Open Original Shared Link

Oh, so you're in Alberta? :)

 

I'm actually a dual citizen of U.S. and Canada. I was born in British Columbia--to American parents. :)

Love BC, but hubby is in the oil industry so we'll be staying in Alberta.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
