Got A Fristrating Response From Target!

I was at Target on sunday and wanted to buy a generic form of their vitamins and calcium supplements. The ingredients could of had gluten in them so I went over to the pharmacy to ask about it. The pharmacist had no clue and had no litsings of their meds that were gluten-free. I then sent Target an email stating they should have a list of gluten-free prodcuts like their competitiors do. This is the email I got back from them:

Thanks for writing us with your suggestions about Target owned-brand,

gluten-free food and pharmacy items. I'm sorry we're not able to provide a list

of all of our gluten-free items. Your comments are important to us, and I'll be

sure to pass them on to our executives and buyers for further review.

For pharmacy questions, you can always call your nearest Target Pharmacy. To

find this nearest pharmacy, call (800) 800-8800 or use the Store Locator on

Target.com.

Of course, you can also give us a call at (800) 440-0680, or visit us on

Target.com. Either way, we’re here to help!

Becky, I've just got to hope that one day these companies will get it...

I had three cases like that last week, and one company had the nerve to send me the definition of what gluten is <_< . These companies are horrible to deal with.

Good luck

I know! And they had the nerve to say for pharmacy questions ask your nearest pharmacy! Hello! I told you they didn't know anything! I replied and stated that I will start shopping at Walmart where they label their products gluten-free and know about their own brands!

Good for you Becky.. I would rather shop at a place that knows their own products. Thanks!

Sorry that happened to you, Becky!!

I'm glad to know that info on the vitamins too.

I'm not ready to jump to Wal-Mart though... hard to find any english speaking employees at any of the ones I've been in. The stores feel "dirty and old" to me too.

I used to hate walmart! They were all nasty around me! Until I found the Walmart Super center in Maple Grove!! It is so nice! Are there any of those down your way?

They just turned the Shakopee store into a Super Center not too long ago. I do go in there occasionally if I'm at Sams Club or the Michaels in the same area but it's already yucky.

That sucks! I was so impressed by the one in Maple grove! But that is a bit far for you!

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.

      I wasn't given any blood tests. I think I should try the gluten free diet because when I cut it out a few weeks ago for just a couple of days, I know I started feeling better. The difference was actually pretty dramatic. When I learned gluten free eating may cause false negative biopsy results, I went back to gluten full force and feel like you know what × 10. Do you feel it would be okay since the gold standard for diagnosis is behind me or should I wait for biopsy results? In your opinion, of course. I know you can't offer me medical advice.
