Qrunch Toastables

I've just "discovered" Qrunch Toastables at Meijer here in Kalamazoo, Michigan. They have carried them for about 2 weeks. I have tried the 1-Rich Maple and 2-Cinnamon-Vanilla. Both are great tasting, filling, and under four dollars. It seems that most gluten-free items that I buy are five dollars or more; expensive--I know. But I was complaining about HIGH gluten-free product prices one day in the store and this older guy said "Do you get sick?", and I said "No". Then he said "stop complaining" or something to that effect. So I look at high prices for gluten-free products in a different light nowdays. Anyway, I highly recommend this product. Again, because it is a bit lower priced, it is filling compared to other gluten-free products that take at least 2 servings to just take the edge off hungerness.

Try them out.

 

One nit-pick is the little bit of a gritty texture... sort of like eating a bit of sand. But it's not enough to deter from not buying it. I am ecstatic that this product has come out.

I am not sure if this texture is common in Quinoa products or not....?

 

I am happy to have joined this group of people. Hopefully I can learn from you all on how to be less-sick by keeping a strict gluten-free, dairy-free diet. I have many restrictions that eliminate more than 95% of foods.

With the price thing, it is something you just get used to after a while.  Instead of "ouch I have to buy the 6 dollar flour" it is "I am going to buy flour".  You just accept it as reality and maybe give a little more to the grocery budget.  I will steer towards things that are more economical if there is a big cost difference per serving among two safe choices.  Usually the gritty texture is from rice flour, but I am sure some of the other gluten-free flours can do that.

Strike that last price statement. I checked my receipt and they are $4.99 each.

 

I have to add that prices are even higher if one goes to a Health Food Store. If you can get a product into a local grocery store like Meijers or Wally World then they get them in bulk and that drops the price down a couple of dollars per.

Actually that was a car that I had: A 1974 Ford Thunderbird. I would get up to about 80+ miles per hour and put her in neutral miles outside of town and coast into the town of Galesburg, Michigan. It would coast a long ways...One day somebody said: Thunder Chicken Coast to Coast; meaning it could coast forever....from coast to coast.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
