Hi All,

I happened upon an Indian groceries store yesterday. I happen to live in a very multi-cultural community so this might just be a lucky thing for me. A lot of people including myself found that gluten-free food prices are crazy.

At any rate I went inside and talked to the owner who had to communicate with me through his son. I did learn that the ENTIRE STORE was dairy free and meat free as is there religious, bonus for me as I am a vegetarian with a lactose intolerance. I asked about flours and you will be shocked to know that I bought a big bag of rice flour for $1.99 CANADIAN and 2 bags of Millet or Juwar Flour for $2.99. They had all kinds of products directly from indian and all of it was of little cost and the flours that were wheat and such were not processed at those plants that made these flours that I purchased. While talking to the Son I also found out that his mother does the baked goods in the from case and surprise surprise, she only doesn't use wheat in here baking. It's just something I thought I would share with everyone seeing as the only reason I went into an Indian store was because someone on this site mentioned that Indian food is the way to go because they don't use a lot of breads. So if you have an Indian food store near you check it out.

Just a note on the flours:

Juwar = Sorghum (same as juvar or jowar)

Bajri = Millet

How much was in each bag? What are the brands?

The Juwar Flour was $2.99 and the Name of the Company is #1 Ghanti Chaap that is the english writing on the bag I don't have the symbols to put the Indian writing on here, but it was manufactured by Indian Groceries and Spices

buy lots for me, I have to travel 60 miles to locate a health food store, walmart or anything "really good", best I have is 3 small town grocery stores, a very small k-mart and a "pamida" most of my shopping is done online for gluten free stuff.... amazon .com actually has some the catchis, you have to buy a case at a time, but for stuff you use alot, its a good deal.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
