Nini, that's fabulous! Well done!

I've downloaded my copy, and I'd like a massage too!

One suggestion - I didn't see a list of safe companies - Kraft etc. Would that be useful? Also, I found the Whole Foods and Wild Oats lists helpful when starting out.

Do you have those lists? Cos I don't... if you have them, I'd be happy to add them to the newbie kit

When I unzipped the files it asked me for a Password for the Word Doc "50 Things to Eat NOW" - so I had to skip that file. Do you have a Password for it? The properties of the file show it as being password protected.

THANKS :-)

shoot... I don't know WHY it does that... I did not put a password on it, It doesn't require a password when I try to open it... I'll have to get my more tech savvy hubby to help me figure that one out.

I just tried to open it again from hubby's computer and no problems... I really don't have any clue why it's asking for a password because on my computer and on hubby's it does not show it as being password protected... Also, I double checked the permissions, and all permissions are allowed. Guess I'm gonna have to remove that one from the kit and put it up separately...

When I unzipped it said something like " you may not be able to access this file but can try doing something or other" I went ahead anyway and it worked fine.

This is a link the the Whole Foods site:

Open Original Shared Link

You can choose your local store and it lists what gluten-free food they sell.

I can't for the life of me find the Wild Oats one on their site. Maybe it's gone. I've got the paper version in front of me so I knoqw I wasn't imagining it.

The other list I was thinking of is the one Kaiti posts. I'll look for it.

Hmmmmm... I don't know how I'd be able to incorporate the link into the list of files... unless I just had one file for links in the Newbie Kit... especially since the list varies by store...

No matter what I do it wants a password for this file. It probably has to do with which UNZIP one uses. The one embedded in XP wants a password. It doesn't even let me go past that "give me a password" window.

In fact, it won't let me do any of the files without a password.

Can you post these files UNZIPPED?

I have had this problem in the past and it has to do with Windows XP Professional which I have to use on my home computer because of my work. I also have a ton of firewalls, virus software, Spyware software, and only use the embedded XP unzipper.

I know of many computers that have this problem, most all have XP. But who knows?

Anyway, can you post at least the Word Docs without zipping them?

Thanks

:-)

Thanks, Nini! But I have the same problem with the list of 50 things, it wants a password from me, too. So, I unzipped everything else but can't get that one.

Franceen, there is one spot when it demands a password, where it says something like 'skip that one' or something like that. You click on that, and it will unzip everything else.

When I download things that the computer thinks might be an installer file it asks for my password. I'm on mac, but at this point they're really close to eachother. Did you try typing in your password for your computer?

Just a random thought.

ok, I've added a link where I've uploaded ALL of the files from the Newbie Kit... you can either download the zip file, or go to the link where you can download one file at a time.

yup i was able to unzup everything else by saying "skip this file" ....

And I tried my computer password, but that didn't do anything either.

It's the .doc files that give problems. Not .zip. At work .zip's are in fact stripped from emails because they ARE perceived as installer files. But not here and not in AOL.

I've seen this problem with Word files when they are taken from web site links. We had this problem with a major Army website. The files were asking for passwords. Someone else figured it out and cured it and they told us what the problem was but I don't remember - it didn't matter to me back then. Oh well.

Nini,

Yes thank you! These files are great. They help a lot when you are craving a snack or hungry in a pinch.

They will help not just NEWBIES, but all of us.

I suspect the problem with the fifty things file is its name. It contains double quotation marks, which are not allowed in a file name under NTFS (the XP native file system). I can extract all of the others at once, and can extract that one to a removable disk which uses FAT rather than the NT file system, and to my second hard drive which uses FAT32. The quotes do get changed to underscores during that process.

For what it's worth.

on my end, it doesn't contain the double quotation marks... from any angle I look at it... I got the file from someone else originally though, so who knows... like I said before, I'm not that tech savvy so forgive me for things not working perfectly!

YUP the double quotes IS the problem.

Tried a test with another zipped file on my FAT32 and then on my NTFS drive. NTFS doesn't allow you to even name the file with quotes or even create a new file with quotes in it. It probably got the quotes in an email system? Or from MAC or maybe just another FAT32 drive where it was created. I don't know why you don't see them - maybe you're using MAC? Or an older OS?

The person downloading the .zip can't change the file name though!

So Nini, try changing the file name by cut and pasting the document into a new .doc and then re-saving it.

Then zip it with all the others and see what happens.

The other solution is to make one big PDF of all the files.

Ask your techy husband about doing that (if you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat available).

But, thanks again for these great files.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
