I read this on about.com (Open Original Shared Link):

Your Old Cell Phones Can Help The Gluten Intolerance Group

If you have any inactive cell phones lying around, you might consider donating them to the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America. The phones will be recycled, and the Gluten Intolerance Group will receive a payment for each phone.

If you happen to be going to their annual conference in Dallas in June, you can bring the phone(s), or you can mail them to: GIG, 31214 - 124 Ave SE, Auburn WA 98092.

The Gluten Intolerance Group directs its support and educational programs at patients, health professionals, manufacturers, the hospitality industry, and the publi

Has anyone done this?

I give my to the batterd women's shelter. They can still dial 911 in emergencies whether they are activated or not.

By the time I get new phones the one I had is so beaten up and barely working I can't see donating it to anyone, I let my moms foster kids play with it. The one used to have my old nokia phone....and I even would charge it so it could ring for her when she would push a certain button.

The phone itself was unactiviated and the sim card was out of it so she couldn't do much else....but she felt real grown-up though.

      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?

      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):
