B) That's our man! Too bad the jackfruit didn't have one of those "Naturally Glute-free" stickers on it and pointed at the camera! :lol:

Not a fruit that I'm familiar with but a beautful looking one there!

Thanks all

Jackfruit is an amazing versatile fruit that can feed a family of 22 easily! Guess it does in some parts of the world. Was at the jackfruit festival in INdia last June and saw many things made from it including --

the seeds dried and ground into a great tasting gluten free flour used in breads, cookies and other Indian confections.

Its also where juicy fruit gum got its flavor. Dried like a jerky is good too although half dried in Chocolate is even better!

take care

Don't know where around here is but sometimes you can find them at oriental markets, especially catering to the Philippine community where its called Lanka or Nanka. Can also find it canned form Thailand which is ok if cooked. SOMETIMES THEY CAN BE ORDERED FREsh from Miami fruit and Spice park or fairchild garden near there.

or just visit hawaii!

Yeah, but you'd have to cook it there. Try bringing one of those puppies back stateside they'd throw you in the can (if you were lucky). We got in a heap of trouble bringing in avocados from Maui :rolleyes:

Your lucky you weren't thrown in the can -- or fined $10K.

This is one of the battles I always have to fight. why they let avocados from Mexico, Chile, New Zealand and now Peru into the US but not from Hawaii is crazy. They,the feds, have a million excuses none of which can hold up to science. Its all Calif. politics.

Once people try real avocados from Hawaii they will not want the junk being forced on the rest of the world.

Calif. Avo industry owns 68% of Mexican and 40something % of chilean orchards.

I better stop while there is still room on the computer-- (^_^)

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
