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.

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...

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.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
