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...

:huh::rolleyes:<_<

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.....

What "so much"??

Compared to what I've seen around here?

Wore the 1st things that fit. Knew I'd eat nothing. Brought clothespins and spares! :lol: What's to tell?

:lol:

I'd LOVE to tell ya about the date part . .. . .. . .in person, over coffee. :P

I was pretty worried about the smells, knowing there was a chance I'd be hit w/ chemical wave as the door opened.

The moment arrives .. . . .. ... .(to be continued)

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      By Pablohoyasaxa · Posted

      Great  post. The skin issue can be intolerable. I have been taking niacinamide for the past month and have improved with respect to the blistering lesions.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I've found taking Niacin Vitamin B 3 in the form that causes flushing (nicotinic acid) helps immensely to clear my skin.  The flushing is harmless and goes away the longer Niacin is taken.  The flushing (vasodilation in the skin) helps the body get rid of the tTg 3 IgA antibodies that cause the blisters.  TTg 2 IgA antibodies are found in the blood and are measured in diagnostic testing for Celiac.  People with Dermatitis Herpetiformis make tTg 3 as well as tTg 2 antibodies.  Niacin Vitamin B3 in the non flushing form niacinamide also works without the flushing, but takes a bit longer.   I also avoid foods containing high levels of iodine because iodine activates the tTg 3 IgA antibodies to become more active and make more blisters.  I avoid kelp (nori, seaweed) and crustaceans,  eggs, dairy products, and iodized table salt.   Niacinamide and Nicotinic acid are water soluble and harmless.  I'd much rather take Niacin than Dapsone with scary side effects.

      We have a gluten-free household. It's the least stressful option. No one else in my family has Celiac, but they are all extremely supportive. We don't even have Play-doh for this kids.

      @Ronnie d, there is a small percentage of celiacs who have dermatitis herpetiformis but have no small bowel mucosal involvement. Also, we have had some reports on this forum from dermatitis herpetiformis suffers who said Dapsone did not work for them. But for the vast majority it does.

      yes, the above is true. however; if the doctor does the tests and finds your are a candidate then dapsone is the drug that will stop the blisters immediately. dapsone started as a drug for malaria and leprosy....I do not know how it became known for dermatitis herpetiformis. I can tell you that my doctor told me she had several patients that have taken it over 20 years. our dosage was one a day until clear,then we went to every other day for a while, working down to zero a day. I still have an active prescription for dapsone but have not had to take one in several years. in closing, if anyone reads this and has truly been diagnosed for dermatitis herpetiform is, then ask your doctor for dapsone..... for those of you reading this that have never had the blisters and infections from the scratching and oozing fluid...than you can't identify. you can have celiac without dermatitis herpetiform is....but all people with dermatitis herpetaformis have celiac...  a double whammy, so to say.
