I've been naughty .... we get lots of Esther Price (www.estherprice.com) because Adam sends it out to customers .... it's a local candy (all but one piece is gluten-free) .... it's WAY better than Godiva! Only REAL butter is used for these chocolates! I've been eating them every day. :ph34r: And I have no intention of stopping until after the holidays!

What does Adam sell and how many do we have to buy in order to get the candy? :rolleyes:

Tom, you have so many chemical sensitivities, how on earth can you not react to inhaled cigarete smoke? Soy kills ya, but formaldehyde, benzene and tar are okay...

This is kind of weird, but the years that I smoked (age 16-24) were the most symptom-free of my whole life.

It could have been the Celiac "teenage honeymoon", but who knows? I know of 2 other Celiac smokers that are not bothered by the smoke.

I've never admitted this to anyone, but I've been half-tempted to try it again to see how it would affect me. At the same time, I know I shouldn't.....I probably won't, but still :unsure:

Did you take the factory tour on the website? Yum! I'm pigging out on this stuff .... but that's only five pieces .... I know what it's like to eat too much of this stuff, LOL. We've gotten it since I was a little kid because like I said, it's locally made. I know what all the pieces are, so everyone always asks me what's inside them. :)

BTW, can you experts name with piece has gluten? And I'm not talking about the pretzels ...

Speaking of candy--I bought the most delicious dairy free "milk chocolate" bar yesterday. It's Terra Nostra Organic Ricemilk Chocolate. It's gluten/wheat free and smells and tastes exactly like Cadbury milk chocolate!

I don't know how they do it, but this is the first time I've had "milk" chocolate in almost 3 years! :D

I never liked dark chocolate before, but developed a taste for it when I had to go dairy free. I actually love it now, but it was so nice to be able to have the "milk" type again.

Man, I LOVE chocolate. I don't have a problem with dairy, but the @!*!#*# diabetes takes care of it. Sugar-free chocolate is okay, but it ain't like the real stuff... :(

I am sitting here eating Chocolate Covered Gourmet Gummi Bears.....purchased from Wegmans and are they good! They don't taste anything like those nasty things you get at the Movies.

Esther Price has sugar-free ... I've never had it, but if it's anywhere near the quality of the rest of their stuff, it must be great!

Well, the snow seems to be done for the time being. We got at least a foot, but it is hard to tell because the wind moved it around and there are drifts that are much deeper than the official depth.

We shoveled the stuff out front around 5 pm, and there has been no significant accumulation since then.

We sent the staff home early today since the city was pretty much shut down.

I've changed my avatar to a picture taken at 3:45 this afternoon of our back deck, seen through the sliding patio door. Thank goodness we filled the bird feeder last night. The bird bath is electrically heated so it does not freeze.

Morning travel will be a challenge. Emily, we start from Warden Ave north of Hwy 7. Our usual route is 407 west to 404, south in the HOV lane to 401, and then west to Yonge or Avenue road. The store is at Yonge and Fairlawn, 5 blocks north of Lawrence. The alternate route, which we may take in the morning, is to stay on 407 to Bayview, then go south to York Mills and then south on Yonge.

I hope Jack's party went well.

Wow your cat looks like our Maine Coon Lucky. Who is currently curled up in a ball next to me underneath a fleece blanket.

Becky was a rescued stray, so we don't know a lot about her ancestry. A number of people with a lot of knowledge have said that she probably has one parent who is a Maine Coon. She falls short of the breed standard in several criteria. She has been with us for more than seven years. Her favorite activities are eating and sleeping. :P

I have put a different picture up as my avatar, so this post my not make sense to readers who did not see the picture of Becky sleeping on top of a cat tree in our store. Becky will be back...

Jacquie and I own and operate a store that sells pet food and pet supplies. We have two cats who live in the store, and four more who allow us to share the house with them. :lol:

Our store does not sell any live animals. The bulk of our business is cat and dog food, although we do a small trade in fish and domestic bird food. In the winter (read: now) we do a booming trade in seed for the feeding of wild birds. We feed the birds at home--my current avatar shows the bird feeder on our snowbound walk-out back deck.

I love that statement. We know, Lucky runs this house. He was a stray we adopted. We would love to get him a playmate but he seems to be a one-cat family, he is an attention needer though. We love him! This is our second Christmas with him, he tried to climb the Christmas tree the other day...he weighs 15 lbs....poor tree!

Share the house! :lol: We had cats when we lived out in the country ... but they had to live outside .... I can't have them inside or I sneeze. I miss the cats.

We have birds in the house ... and kids.

We also share the house with a hermit crab we bought on the boardwalk in May and survived this long....which is interesting since it was bought at one of those shops that keeps hermit crabs in big wire wagon cages.....

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
