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.

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.

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
