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:

Coffee, I'll be in touch. ;)

Good to see you, the star that we always knew you were. An advocate on our side is a wonderful thing Ken! Thank you.

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-- (^_^)

      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...

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

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!!!
