I love Spam. Thanks, I was always going to look up if it was gluten free!

I slice it, fry it in butter, sprinkle it with a little brown sugar and top with pineapple. Think we'll have spam this week.

I am embarassed to admit, but I kinda like it too, although I don't eat it due to sodium and weight issues . . . but wow, for others, what an easy thing to pack for travel or pick up while on the road. As memory serves, a lot of gas stations carry Spam in the grocery section . . . or at least they used to carry it. This will probably help a lot of folks cope.

Many years ago, there was a snow emergency here in PA, and we could not leave our homes. As it worked out, I was visiting a friend at her parent's house, and her parents were restaurant warriors, preferring never to cook if they could avoid it. After two days, we ate through the small amount of food in the house, and we were left with Spam. It was purchased sometime in the last decade, though no one could remember when. We cut it up, fried it, and that was dinner. Thank God they opened up the roads the next day. Still, Spam got us through, and I don't remember it tasting that bad, either!

My mom used to slice it and fry it in butter and we would eat it on toast. For some reason that sounds good. Now if I could find some gluten free bread to toast that tasted good. On a side note Underwood Deviled ham spread is gluten free too. Here is a link to B&G Foods, Inc. products that are gluten free including the deviled ham.

Spam is absolutely disgusting when you examine it's contents but it is still the food of the Gods. Spam and gluten free beer are proof that God exists and that he wants us to be happy.

All this Spam talk (the edible kind :D ) really brings back memories. My dad used to fry it up with eggs on the weekend once in a while.

What is funny is that the same folks that turn their nose up at SPAM, eat canned soups, chili, tuna, prepared frozen and box meals, all full of chemicals, preservatives and mystery ingredients. Not to mention Fast Food....

I say always keep a Can o' Spam in the cabinet for emergency's along with a big block of Velveeta Cheese (America's favorite processed cheese "food"). The Pair makes a helluva Party Platter for those impromptu guests during the holidays. Always keep those little toothpicks with the curly plastic cellophane to decorate it up!

FYI Spam is available in a low sodium version....

"Canned soups, chili, tuna" . . . well said!

"little toothpicks with the curly plastic cellophane" . . . of course, dahlink! What else would even come close to making the perfect snack statement?

Oh my gosh, in addition to Spam, Velveeta is gluten free, too? ALL VARIATIES? (Oh please tell me yes!) Talk about processed-food-heaven!

Hold onto my hips, here I come. Whooo-hooo!

The next time I need a guilty pleasure, I sure know where I'm going. :)

PS: May I please have some fries with that?

OR

Velveeta and canned Hormel Chili, adventurous folk can add the Ro-tel too!

We can laugh all we want.

But, if you put Velveeta Dips (keep them hot) out a party, especially a football party, It is always the first to go. Highbrow Types always ask "what is your recipe"? :D

Yes!

AND if you tell them that your "secret recipe" is made from some incredibly expensive, exclusive cheese, then they start to salivate . . . and if, after that, you just keep your mouth shut just long enough, they throw money at you for the recipe.

Catch it and run for the goal line!

As I've always said, if peanut butter cost $100 an ounce, everyone would know it is the greatest food in the world.

Don't forget about those bisquick, sausage and cheese hors d' oeuvres -----In Louisiana they are called "Coon Balls"

Someone needs to come up with a gluten-free version of those

Those are so-o-o-o good! A friend of mine in my hometown used to make them at every get-together. :D We just called them sausage balls.

Put those sausage balls out on your best silver platter, and use your finest linen napkins and wait til they ask "What ARE these?"

Pause, and say "Coon Balls". They will look at you with a blank stare, then add "You know, Racoon Balls"... You won't remember when you had such a good time. Of course, they have already eaten about 7 or 8 of them.

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?
