Aghhhhhh! Gas Prices

When I started driving gas was 89 cents a gallon....that was only 10 yrs ago.

Amanda, I remember that, too! :lol: I started driving about 13 years ago, and it was about 88, 89 cents. So that's an increase of what, 250% or something? Insane.

It now costs me 65-70 bucks a week just to get my kids to school and back home, and do my shopping (which I always do very efficiently.)

NC has the highest state gas tax in our region- 2-3 times what the surrounding states are.

What gets me is that, of course it's not just increased spending at the gas pump, but groceries also go up because of increased shipping costs, etc. And of course, there's people trying to heat their old houses with gas...

Gas and groceries go up in leaps and bounds, but our paychecks can't keep up with it. Something ends of getting cut somewhere...

Right now in Lahaina (on Maui) it's about $3.98 (plus taxes). I'm headed home now (outside of Salem, Oregon) where it's about $3.30.

I WISH we could take public transit!! Since we live in a small town, there isn't anything. And DH works 14 miles away!! He does carpool home from work though. That helps.

      Does anybody know of a guide that ranks reevaluates universities and colleges in terms of their accommodation of celiac disease or food allergies?   Thanks in advance for any leads! Valerie

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet

      Around 9% of celiacs cannot tolerate any oats, even gluten-free oats. It might be worth eliminating them for a few months, then get re-tested.

      I only eat certifed gluten-free products but a lot of which are processed. Could there be trace gluten in those or is that very unlikely? 
    • Scott Adams
      For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes (you may want to avoid oats):
