Okay, so I had to share. Some of you wrote last week I think it was, about Philly Swirl, loving their pops... I wrote them, and the owner starting writing me back, he was really sweet about supporting them, and that yes, they are having some trouble, but are trying to spread the word. His two e-mails are below. If you shop at Sam's Club they are still doing a trail on their sugar free pops there... They sell their different products at Meijer and Walmart too. It makes me sad to see an allergy/intolerance company having trouble staying a float, when all those other stupid gluten-full companies are raking it in ! :o Their site is: Open Original Shared Link

FYI for ya'll: (PS--He did send me pics of his daughter too!) How's that for the "personal touch"!

Dear Jen!!

Thank you so much!!! Believe me, I am very grateful to you. It's times like this that I am very happy that I personally respond to all of our email.

I'm curious, did you happen to purchase my product at a Sam's Club, and if so, which store location do you shop at?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Jen,

Believe me, I have approached many other grocery chains and most of them were NOT interested in selling our products.

As you may have already realized, Sam's Clubs have only given us a trial period to see how our Sugar Free (Splenda) Stix would sell. Please do me a HUGE favor and contact or email a few of your friends (particularly those who have diabetes or those on low sugar/low carb diets) to try my product at Sam's. Our original trial period had actually expired at the end of March and Sam's has decided to extend it temporarily. Word of mouth is clearly making a huge difference. We are even offering a MONEY BACK GUARANTEE!

On a personal note, my wife and I have a new addition to our family, her name is Mya. Here are some photos (please see attached). Have a great afternoon and PLEASE keep in touch with me.

They carry them at a Sam's Club near us. I'll have to go there sometime. Do they sell ones with regular sugar? I would rather have the sugar then the sugar substitutes.

Kaiti--

Yes....they have like 6 different kinds and only one of those is sugar free. I'm not a sugar free person myself... Bring on the skittles !

Oh, and all of their frozen desserts, except for the sandwiches are gluten and nut free. Their website is funny...it has all these funky characters on it... Random thought :)

I sent them an e-mail last night thanking them for being allergy/celiac friendly. I couldn't post until now, though, cause the board was acting up on me last night.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this.

      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.
