Hey Everyone

I am from Nova Scotia Canada and my husband is heading down to maine for a week and i want to send a list of food for him to pick up and i am looking for ideas of gluten free food that is sold down there and where he can go to buy it.

I have a 2 1/2 year old who was recently diagnosed and i am interested in different cereals, cookies, meal ideas and anything really.

If anyone could help me out with some idea and info i would really appreciate it.

THANKS

NICOLE

I am from Portland and there is a Whole Foods store with a TON of gluten free stuff. My 3.5 year old loves the Glutino cereal, Envirokids gorilla munch cereal, and especially the Enviorkids Peanut Butter cereal bars. He eats one every day, sometimes two ! We love the Pamela's Wheat free bread mix - he eats that for toast and peanut butter, and the Gluten Free pantry brownie mix make great brownies. I just picked up Pamela's chocolate chip cookies (small cookies) but they are very good. Glutino also has wafer cookies that are good. Kinnikinik has choc. chip that are also good. Also a good easy snack my son loves is the stretch island fruit (I think that is what they are called) - they come as pressed fruit in just a short strip, or long fruit rolls.

There is also Lois' Natural Foods in Scarborough, right next to Portland which has a lot of gluten free foods too, and isn't quite as overwhelming. The staff there are very helpful and they also have a kitchen and bake gluten free foods there daily, so if your husband wants something freshly cooked that is an option. My sister in law lives in Bangor and she has mentioned there is a place there that serves gluten free pizza. I can find out the name of the restaurant if you like. Also - Flatbread pizza on the waterfront in Portland has a gluten free pizza dough. These are just things off the top of my head, but if you have more specific questions - let me know and I can do my best to answer. Hope he has a good trip!

      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
