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.

Thunder Chickens?  The FRC Team?  

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.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
