Hi - I live in Miles City Montana - I updated my signature!!

I have access to a small health food store here in Miles. I go to Billings MT - and they have several. My sister lives in Washington and she goes to Trader Joes for me once in awhile. I also order on the internet - especially - "Manna From Anna" That is the best bread in the world!!

Hi all,

I don't order anything from mainland companies because postage costs more than the food. I live in Kaneohe, Hawaii. Aloha

Susette :D

I am in Markham, Ontario, Canada. Markham's southern border abuts the city of Toronto.

More about where I live: Open Original Shared Link

I was diagnosed, as shown in my signature, in 2000, but I know from symptoms that I had celiac disease for a long time before that. I had various gastric symptoms for more than 30 years before diagnosis. They got worse over time, and I am sure that I had full scale celiac disease in 1994. None of the doctors could figure it out. My wife learned about celiac disease from the Internet, and I asked my doctor about it...

The avatar is a recent photo of me.

That's too bad Bonnie that you can't get some of these products :( Can you get much there that is gluten free?

What about you susette? Can you get much in Hawaii?

Hi Shirley

Are you looking for sight seeing adventures? I am in Nanaimo but there are so many great places to see. Have you been to Victoria before? Buchart Gardens is beautiful....tour the waterfront lots of neat places....china town is cool......the wax museum if that is your kind of fun.....search out Victoria on the web and you will find an endless amount of information....

One of my favourites is the Craigdarroch castle it is supposed to be haunted....

Hope this helps

Enjoy your vacation and have a safe trip. :D

Hi Penny, yes, we have done all of those except the castle! Will surely have to put that on my list. Tammy used to live in Victoria, so we have been several times, however at the time Tammy was not a diagnosed Celiac. I was wondering if you have a favoutite place to eat :P I love Nanaimo as well, quite a lovely city. We are hoping to get to Cobble Hill to visit friends, but will have to see how the time goes with all the wedding activities. We will be staying at my hubby's cousins place. Thankfully, they are quite careful with my diet :)

Hi Shirley,

I can get Glutano products but its a bit of a mission and so expensive. The crackerbread and biscuits are easily available though. Oh and I found some Envirokidz flakes - divine!

I just read the forum and drool over the donuts and stuff you guys can get!

Yvonne, if you can get the Envirokids flakes, can you also get their rice bars? They come in chocolate, peanut butter and berry, and are quite good. If you don't get them now, perhaps your shop can order them as they are already ordering from the same company. :rolleyes: That would give you something else, I know it isn't donuts and blueberry muffins, but at least it's a nice portable snack that you could stick in your pocket.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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
