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!

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.

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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
