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

:-)

no, it won't let me do that... I'd have to upload ALL the files from the kit separately...

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.

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one...

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

      I have many of those same CMP irregularities from time to time, with the exception that my potassium is always normal. What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part. It depends on the particular parameter (some are more important than others) and it depends on how far out of range it is. Docs also look for trends over time as opposed to isolated snapshots of this or that being out of spec at any given time. Our body chemistry is a dynamic entity.

Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/
