My Ipod has been acting up for a few weeks. It will never connect to the computer anymore..it justs keeps saying connecting.

Now today it worked fine and then 1/2 hr later it was a black screen. We have not gotten it to work since. It was fully charged. Now we have tried to charge it again and it wont even respond to that....

Oh I miss the Ipod already.

John bought it for me for my birthday so it is not even 6 months old. He informs me today he didnt get a warranty either.

I have searched for help online but didnt get anything....

Anyone?

Keep looking online - there are places that do iPod repair. I think I remember names like Mac ResQ and iPodrepair, but google "iPod repair". You might just need your battery replaced. The place I used charged $30 to send me a custom made box with shaped foam inserts to send it in for diagnosis. They then told me what was wrong and what it would take to fix it. This particular iPod was damaged beyond repair (my daughter tried to change the battery but missed a few crucial steps in the instructions) so they bought it from me to use for parts for $30. They will tell you what's wrong and you can decide how the cost of fixing it compares to buying a new one. Note: if you do buy a new iPod, check first to see if you have the operating system it needs. I bought a 3rd generation nano and found out too late it needed OSX 10.4.8, and I only had 10.3.9 and had had them engrave the damn thing so I couldn't return it. Fortunately I made a trade with someone with the right OS. The only time I ever cursed Apple.

I forgot - if you have an Apple store nearby, you can set up an appointment and they will look at it.

It may still be under warranty, check out the ipod site it will have you type in your serial number etc. and tell you what you can do. I know there was an option that you can buy a extended warranty, you might be able to do that.

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.

      I don't have health insurance so I have never had any testing done. I always thought if I stay away from gluten Ill be fine but I suppose that isn't enough anymore. I will look into getting an allergy test. Thank you for your input!

      Celiac Brand for Indian grocery

      By trents · Posted

      I remember reading an article summarizing testing done by Gluten Free Watchdog on several brands of dried lentils. They were all heavily cross contaminated with wheat and the commentary was to the effect that dried lentils in general were the most heavily cross contaminated product category in their testing data base. So, I would definitely not use any dried lentil product that was not tested to be Gluten Free (<20ppm of gluten) or Certified Gluten Free (<10ppm of gluten).

      While spices, lentils, beans and chickpeas are naturally gluten-free, the main concern with any brand is cross-contamination during processing and packaging. Since Suraj doesn't appear to certify their products as gluten-free or use dedicated gluten-free facilities, there is some risk of trace gluten exposure, especially with their corn flour which could be milled on shared equipment with gluten-containing grains. For absolute safety, I'd recommend looking for brands that are certified gluten-free by organizations like GFCO - good options include McCormick for spices, TruRoots or Bob's Red Mill for lentils and beans, and Anthony's for corn flour. That said, if you need to use Suraj products, be sure to carefully check labels for any wheat warnings, thoroughly rinse lentils and beans before cooking, and consider contacting the manufacturer directly to ask about their gluten testing protocols. Many in our community have found that investing in certified gluten-free brands gives them greater peace of mind and helps avoid accidental gluten exposure, especially for higher-risk items like flours.

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

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Dapsone, commonly prescribed for dermatitis herpetiformis (the itchy gluten-related skin condition), comes with several potential side effects that patients should monitor. The most frequent issues include blood-related problems like hemolytic anemia (especially in those with G6PD deficiency, which is more common in certain ethnic groups) and methemoglobinemia that can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, or bluish skin. Many patients also experience headaches, nausea, dizziness, or skin sensitivity to sunlight. While these effects are often manageable, there are rare but serious risks including dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (with fever, rash and organ inflammation), liver problems, or severe anemia that require immediate medical attention. That's why doctors typically monitor blood counts and liver enzymes regularly during treatment. A crucial tip: proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole can interfere with dapsone's effectiveness, so discuss all medications with your doctor. If you develop fever, unexplained fatigue, yellowing skin/eyes, or a spreading rash while on dapsone, stop taking it and contact your healthcare provider right away. For celiac patients specifically, remember that strict gluten-free eating may eventually reduce or eliminate the need for dapsone to control dermatitis herpetiformis symptoms over time.
