I'm thinking about getting a PDA to manage my gluten-free info, especially while travelling. I don't need anything fancy (read: I don't want to spend $500). If you have one, which one do you have and how much was it? Thanks.

I have a palm-based Treo 650, and I do keep my Clan Thompson's SmartList on it. I'm also working on a .pdf restaurant list for when I travel. I don't know the cost; it's my work phone.

I have a palm T l X. It's great, I love it and I have the Clan Thompson list on it. I also had DH put the Delphi list into acrobat and put that on there. It's a lifesaver. I think I got it for $260

I suggest you FIRST decide what you want to run, and SECOND decide which PDA. FOr example if you want to use the Clan Thomson smart list, you have to have a plam. I already have a PDA that my wokr provided, a Dell Axim, and while its a great gizmo, I can not use Clan Thomsons software on it.

I have a Palm Tungsten that I bought new off eBay. I had bought it for the purpose of downloading the Clan Thompson Smart List, but I found that after a couple weeks I really didn't need it anymore. But it did help in my initial few weeks of getting acclimated.

I'm not really interested in the clan thomson stuff, I used that at first but I have found more helpful things. What I want is something that I can use to look at .doc and .pdf files. It would be really helpful, for example, when I'm visiting my dad and he has something of brand X in the fridge that I want to eat or if we go to his grocery store and I can't find a brand that I am familiar with. I also want to have my restaurant info with me for when I have to travel and eat out at places that I am not familiar with. That is all I want it for.

Then Vincent's advice is still good. Either a Windows-based or a Palm-based pda will meet your needs. The preference will be somewhat personal. I think Palm is the way to go. Others will swear by their Pocket PC or Windows CE systems. I love my Palm-based Treo. Do you have cell service? Then you might want to consider a "smart phone" something like a Treo 650 (but there are lots of others) because then you only have to carry one gadget.

What have you found that you like?

Try to get down to a computer stor in your area and use a few dif ones and see which one you like best. One of the things I like about my Dell Axim is the "big" (for a PDA) full color screen. I dont use it nearly as much as I thought I would when I got it, but I would love to have something like the Smart list on it, esply when traveling since cant go to my "safe" stores and get my "safe" foods.

Other then specific programs like the smart list, I realy do not think there is much difference between FUNCTIONALITY of WindwsCE vs Palm, its personal taste. And Cost. Mine was free to me, so that made it the best choice. :D

I have a Palm T|X as well and like it very much. I've downloaded the Clan Thompson lists, but also have some excel and word files on there...seems to work fine.

I bought the Palm Z22 specifically for the Clan Thompson lists and for keeping appointments. It's a very basic model who's gimmic is that it's easy to use - and it is! Not only that, but it only costs $99. It does have a color screen as well. I have been very happy with it!

      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.

      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.
