What Are The Best Deals From Amazon?

I shop a lot from Amazon -- I have a Prime account, which means that I get free two-day shipping if a product is sold by Amazon -- and I wondered what the best deals were? I saw that they sell twelve packs of the Blue Diamond Nut Thins for what works out to be about $2.30 a box. I got the crackers for $2 a box the other day at Whole Foods, but that was a big sale, and they're normally more than that. Anything else?

It really depends on how much of a product you can use. I buy the econo bags of gluten-free corn flakes, the multi grain Glutino crackers, pretzels when on sale. Oh the rice krispies too...Lame Advertisement seeds as well. there is a ton of stuff gluten-free ... but your right you do need to price shop...

Okay I just went back & read the word AMAZON --- I thought we were not allowed to use that name?

I buy my Tinkyada pasta and my Pamela's bread and/or pancake/baking mix from Amazon... scheduling them both at the same time to take advantage of free shipping. I live in west-by-god nowhere and Tinkyada pasta and individual packages of Pamela's are really expensive... in the TWO stores where I can find one or the other!

The local health food store offered to buy Pamela's bread mix to stock and I had to tell the guy that I could get it cheaper from Amazon, so he shouldn't bother.

I just bought cases of Kind bars. It worked out to $1.25 a bar (and I LOVE them) I saw their Food Should Taste Good chips were something like $.90 a bag, but I didn't order them as they were the olive, which I can't stand. My last purchase as pasta...ratidore in bulk, and Ancient Harvest Quinoa and Corn spagetti by the case. :P

I get (in bulk)

Tinkyada Pasta

Pamelas Pancake and Baking Mix

Pamelas Bread Mix

Pamelas mini Chocolate cookies

Glutino (cheese) crackers

Clif twisted fruit sticks (or something like that)

Chocolate Chex Cereal

I get most of those through the Subscribe and Save program. You get an extra 15% off and free shipping (even if it's less than $25) for placing a standing order. Don't worry about the standing order part. You can cancel after the first shipment if you want. You can have a 1, 2, 3, or 6 month interval. If you need to order early, you go ahead and tell them to ship early. If you need to delay, you can delay. They send an email right before they process the order so that if you need to delay or cancel it, you can. The only item above that I didn't really save good money on was the Clif twisted fruit things. I did save a little on the "regular" price but I could ocassionaly get it cheaper on sale but the problem was the store never had the flavor my daughter liked.

If I remember correctly, the Glutino pretzels were a good deal (in bulk) but we don't go through them fast enough to justify having 12 bags of them sitting around.

I LOVE the subscribe and save. And right now they have a promo from General Mills going on that makes Chex and Betty Crocker mixes incredibly cheap! You do have to be careful with making sure you'll eat what you order. We had to throw away a bunch of stuff that expired because I went a little crazy. So much for that savings!

The Kind bars and Lara bars are really good values (at least compared to our prices). As are Stretch Island Fruit Leathers, gluten-free cereals, bread mixes, Pamela's chocolate chunk cookies, Quinoa pasta, oh for us pretty much anything is cheaper than our local prices! It's just a matter of only buying stuff you can eat the bulk amount of.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
