Laptop Lunchbox Users...a Question For You

I bought two Open Original Shared Link from Whole Foods last weekend. I was disappointed to see that only one of the four main food compartments has a snap on lid. I thought the whole idea behind laptop lunchboxes was food separation and the ability to pack leftovers. Although the main outside box has a lid, I wondered if the food seems to spill out when carried sideways in an insulated lunchbox carrier?

Are you happy with your Laptop system? What would you change? What problems have you found?

Thank you! I am excited to use these during the school year!

I love our Laptop Lunchbox. We haven't had any issues with spillage or compartments leaking into eachother and absolutely *love* it. The main outside box really does the trick, and my DD twists and turns her lunchbox every which way.

It has been a true blessing to have this lunchbox. It really takes the guesswork out of packing lunch.

We are 100% in love with our laptop lunches. We use them every day that we eat lunch away from home.

You really only need the lid on an individual container if that food is really wet. Like soup or yogurt. Otherwise, everything will stay put just fine.

If you read the FAQ on the laptop lunches website, they answer why they designed it with only one individual lid. Mostly for aesthetics -- it's fun to open that main lid and see all kinds of different foods.

Thank you so much for your input. I'll go check out the FAQ on the LL site next!

Another question: Whole Foods didn't offer the insulated case. I thought our existing lunchboxes would fit the LL, but it is a smidge too tight. Unless you purchase the LL case, where did you find a bag or case that will fit them?

Thank you!

My husband and I use the LL insulated cases, but we didn't think they were girly enough for my daughter. So we bought her one from a local toy store that is very girly.

I saw some at Wal-Mart just today that would have worked. Or head on over to Target.

There's nothing special about the LL carrying case so don't worry too much about it.

Hi, what if you are sending in something warm, like chicken nuggets. Do they stay warm?

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
