Ok, not sure if I can post this so here it goes!

I buy chex all the time, it is breakfast everymorning. I always pay $2.98 - $3.25 per box at Walmart. Well since today is pay day and I needed to buy a few things I found my cereal that was priced at.......... $1.66 per box! ok that is a good price, not sure why. I confirmed with 2 people that this was correct. I live in CA so not sure if it is statewide or nationwide but wanted to post. $1.66 per box! Crazy =) hehehe I bought 3 =P

I just happened to be at Walmart last night, and just happened to need some Rice Chex, and did at least a triple take when I saw the price. I thought it must be wrong. I'm in Minnesota, and it was $1.66 here, too. Brought home 6 boxes. Wanted to get more, but felt a bit greedy.

Also, look up online, printable coupons for the Rice Chex, they're available for 1.00 off 2 boxes. You can print and use as many as you want per 2 boxes.

later-sorry, I looked it up and the coupon was on last week. They have new items this week. There is a coupon for $.55 off enjoylife products though. couponsdotcom

Sorry so slow; it's usually somewhere between $3.15 and $3.65. $1.66 is rockin' - can't believe I actually went to another Walmart for science fair supplies for the kids and forgot to grab a few more boxes!

i just went to stock up on Rice Chex and the shelf was empty...surprise surprise! the price said $1.66 so i went to the customer service desk to inquire how long the sale is going on for. (i also asked for a raincheck but was told they don't offer them.)

silly me to think they'd be able to help me...this is Walmart we're talking about. <_< no one could tell me for sure if this is a sale price or if they just "rolled back" the price permanently. nor would they have someone go check the back to see if there was any more left. i did have the option to wait around for an hour until the night stockers came in or come back tomorrow.

the clerks seemed to think this is NOT a sale price and it'll be around for a while...we'll see when i go back in a few days!

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment. The cow's body builds that Casein protein. It doesn't come from wheat. Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people. This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response). It is not lactose intolerance...

      Wheatwacked, what exactly did you intend when you stated that wheat is incorporated into the milk of cows fed wheat? Obviously, the gluten would be broken down by digestion and is too large a molecule anyway to cross the intestinal membrane and get into the bloodstream of the cow. What is it from the wheat that you are saying becomes incorporated into the...

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      My only proof

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go! I'm certain you'll feel much better. Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free. The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities...

      My only proof

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get cal...

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go!  I'm certain you'll feel much better.   Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free.  The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities and food preferences can limit choices.  I can't consume fish and shellfish due to the sulfa hypersensitivity and iodine content, and dairy is out as well.  I react to casein, the protein in dairy, as well as the iodine in dairy.  My Dermatitis Herpetiformis is aggravated by iodine.   Blood tests for B vitamin levels are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change to show a deficiency.  I had subclinical vitamin deficiencies for years which affected my health, leading to a slow downward spiral.  Because the B vitamins are water soluble, they are easily excreted in urine if not needed.  It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.   Wheat and other gluten containing grain products have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace those nutrients lost in processing.  Manufacturers add cheap vitamins that our bodies don't absorb or utilize well.  Even normal people can suffer from vitamin deficiencies.  The rise in obesity can be caused by High Calorie Malnutrition, where people eat more carbohydrate calories but don't get sufficient thiamine and B vitamins to turn the calories into energy.  The calories are stored as fat in an effort to ration out diminishing thiamine  stores.    It's time to buy your own vitamins in forms like Benfotiamine that our bodies can use well.   Not sleeping well and fatigue are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.   I'm certain Benfotiamine with a B Complex will help you immensely.  Just don't take them at night since B vitamins provide lots of energy, you can become too energetic to sleep.  Better to take them earlier in your day.   Do keep me posted on your progress!

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!
