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.

      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.

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.
