: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.

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 :(.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
