Have you noticed a problem with Altoids supplies in your part of the country. I am in Alberta and I haven't seen Altoids at any store for about one month. I'm really concerned because I love them.

I know, it's dangerous territory to be entering, but I'm serious. I can't find them anywhere.

LMAO! :lol:

Nope, I don't have a problem finding them - I get them at the checkout counter at A&P...

Although Terry's been in the doghouse for quite some time now, so I haven't been buying them as often... :rolleyes:

Hugs.

I thought we needed some good hearted laughter. But, I hope the stores restock here soon.

Well, it just seems that he must have been in there for a while ... is the length of time well-deserved? If the supply is low, maybe HE should be stockpiling as I'm sure SHE is not!!

Should have known you'd show up on the Altoids thread!! I hope you're feeling better!!

Oh trust me, the anniversary faux pas is just the drop in the bucket! Yes, August 15th rolled around, and not a sound, peep, card, nada, nothing..... Finally, I went to bed at 11:00 p.m. and left the anniversary card on his pillow (for maximum guilt effect... of course.......). The next morning, I got the old "Geez, I've been so busy lately, I totally forgot......" Um, ..........................yeah....... <_<

It's been downhill since then........ :angry:

OMG! Felidae! You're right! I went to A&P tonight to pick up some stuff and EVER SINGLE AISLE the Altoids section was empty! I have no idea how long it has been that way since I haven't been buying them lately (reason stated above <_< )!

I wonder what's up?

(Oops...... maybe I should re-word that.......... :D;) )

See, I knew you would normally have observed a hole in the Altoid section! But you had good reason not to notice.

Not to worry, Karen. Have spoken with my husband and he feels that the "Goddess of Altoids" cannot go without! :lol::lol: We will mail them to you as soon as Terry is out of the dog house. In my humble opinion, however, he should stay there -- out in the cold -- for a little while longer. Again, just my opinion. :rolleyes:

And Carla -- OF COURSE I would be on an Altoids thread! It's like a moth to the flame . . . . . . . :lol::lol:

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment. The cow's body builds that Casein protein. It doesn't come from wheat.

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go! I'm certain you'll feel much better. Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free. The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients.

      My only proof

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get cal...

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go!  I'm certain you'll feel much better.   Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free.  The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities and food preferences can limit choices.  I can't consume fish and shellfish due to the sulfa hypersensitivity and iodine content, and dairy is out as well.  I react to casein, the protein in dairy, as well as the iodine in dairy.  My Dermatitis Herpetiformis is aggravated by iodine.   Blood tests for B vitamin levels are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change to show a deficiency.  I had subclinical vitamin deficiencies for years which affected my health, leading to a slow downward spiral.  Because the B vitamins are water soluble, they are easily excreted in urine if not needed.  It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.   Wheat and other gluten containing grain products have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace those nutrients lost in processing.  Manufacturers add cheap vitamins that our bodies don't absorb or utilize well.  Even normal people can suffer from vitamin deficiencies.  The rise in obesity can be caused by High Calorie Malnutrition, where people eat more carbohydrate calories but don't get sufficient thiamine and B vitamins to turn the calories into energy.  The calories are stored as fat in an effort to ration out diminishing thiamine  stores.    It's time to buy your own vitamins in forms like Benfotiamine that our bodies can use well.   Not sleeping well and fatigue are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.   I'm certain Benfotiamine with a B Complex will help you immensely.  Just don't take them at night since B vitamins provide lots of energy, you can become too energetic to sleep.  Better to take them earlier in your day.   Do keep me posted on your progress!

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!
