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. :)

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
