Well, I've never liked them, so this is one thing I won't miss (the same goes for Oreo cookies, always hated them :rolleyes: ).

Well, I did like those samoas (however that's spelled), but I've never really had much of a sweet tooth. Still, I'm planning on attempting to duplicate the recipe one of these days.

What I'd really like now and then however, is a box of gluten-free Triscuits.

I was just diagnosed in January And I really miss girl scout cookies...My oldest daughter came home the other day from work and said "look what I bought for everyone." She had a half a dozen boxes of cookies in a bag. I was not a happy camper

My 10 yr. old daughter is a girl scout and has Celiac and we had to sell a hundred boxes. I just left them in my car so my husband and her did not have to see them. This was there first year of not being able to eat them. It made her a little depressed :(

Yes, no Girl Scout Cookies is a major downer :( However there is a thread in the Cooking and Baking tips Forum that has recipes or links to duplicate the Samoas and Thin Mints. Here's the link:

That's horrible. They should have offered some alternative to your daughter.

Dang! I thought you were going to tell me they had a gluten free one. I was leaving Wal-Mart today and the cutest little girl asked if I'd buy them. I wanted to say "yes, I'll buy them all". Oh well, that was a different life, I feel so much better that it's worth it. I think I'll eat my M&M's now.

:lol: THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! I swear every office I walk by at work has a box of cookies on the corner of the desk, and of course the little Troopers are in the grocery store every time I go - looking darling and plaintive. I may end up giving them a donation. But this morning after passing by their wares one more time ,I came home and made killer browinies! It's not the same thing, but it'll do...it allows me to be creatively aggressive instead of victim-ish - which is how I feel a lot of the time. And now that I think of it, I'm using my own Girl Scout skills by making my own confections instead of eating theirs!

What kind of leader requires this of a scout?

Grrrrr.....

Lol they are! I was driving around the mall in a nearby town close to mine around 7 or so and spotted them. They had this booth set up at one of the stores and they were dancing, trying to advertise for the cookies! I thought it was cute :)

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
