:o So I really like the KK pizza shells - easy, convenient and a loaded one is good enough for supper with some veggies. HOWEVER ! Now the 8" pizza shell has become a 7" pizza shell...not so filling. I guess it's a sign of the times but I find it makes a difference.

Has anyone else noticed any shrinkage - KK or other products ???

Namaste came out with new packaging recently....and downsized too. I used to always have some mix leftover after making two batches of pancakes, now it makes exactly two batches w/out any leftover. Not a huge deal, but I used to buy two or three packages and the leftovers of all three was enough to make another batch. I was a little miffed, b/c we pay so much extra anyway for gluten free food. This was the only pre-mixed thing I used to buy, so now I just make everything from scratch to save any money I can.

You are so right--- a sign of the times!!!! And I don't think it will get any better....

Has anyone tried the new pizza shells yet? It stated on their website that they were reformulated and when I saw them in the store they looked completely different. First off, they're square and have what looks like cornmeal on them and they seemed thinner. And I'm not sure but I though the old package had four crusts. This one only had three I think and it's still the $8 something it was before. Not to excited, might go back to making pizza crust from scratch.

This has been happening for years with all sorts of products. Companies have to choose between raising the prices - which you would definitely notice, or reducing the quantity of product in what otherwise looks like the same packaging and hope you don't notice.

It is indeed a sign of the times. :ph34r:

That it is!!! . . . and it's not just the gluten free or specialty items . . . it's everywhere.

And sometimes both happen at once. There is a line of products of which I am very aware, where the package was redesigned recently. The old package was four pounds. The "new, improved" package is three pounds, but the price went up by two dollars at the same time. :(

This is not a gluten-free specialty food, BTW.

As is often the case, "new, improved" is only half right! :rolleyes::blink:

The donuts!! (though I admit--I enjoy the tiny ones, you can at least eat the whole thing without feeling stuffed!)

The thing that's bothered me the most about them is when the Canadian dollar was above the U.S. dollar, they raised all of the prices, but now that our dollar is much weaker they've kept the costs insanely high instead of lowering them :(.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!

      A much better suggestion than that of the new doctor!
