FOr those of you who use Direct TV (especially if you live in Florida ) do you get good reception or does it go out whenever it rains, etc. Am thinking about switching from cable to Direct TV

I'm in Florida, but we have FiOS. Very happy with it though :)

I'm in Missouri, not Florida, and I do have DirecTv. For the most part, it stays on in the rain, unless it's a pretty heavy thunderstorm, then we lose the signal. Unfortunately, that's when you really want it the most...so you can get the severe weather updates. I have heard of people putting a styrofoam cup over the receiver part of the dish (with the end cut off) to protect it from the rain. They say they don't lose the signal with that fix in place. I can't say, haven't tried it yet. Otherwise, I really like DirecTv...just be ready for that bill to JUMP when your 1st 12 months are over.

      When using daily med to look up prescriptions, is there a way to filter ingredients such as gluten or wheat?  I usually take only a couple of drugs but since I’m having surgery, I have 5 new ones to take for a short time post-op. Thanks!   For non prescription drugs, Walgreens has a line called Free&Pure that has gluten free written on the packaging if anyone is interested.

      Dr. Jean Duane published a book on Celiac.com, and although all chapters are worth reading, there are some that cover this perfectly. Here is the link to the 1st chapter: This chapter and others cover this topic well:

      I called Colace to see what they would say. They cannot guarantee the products are gluten free.  No gluten ingredients but mentioned ingredients from pigs.  I did explain the pig part wasn’t the issue, just gluten.  I had asked about Colace clear as I had read that one was gluten free.

      As I recall Canada created some special rules just for gluten-free oats--not other gluten-free products--right around the time that General Mills launched their gluten-free Cheerios. The move seemed more politically motivated given that other products could be 20 ppm or below, but not oats. Here is an article we wrote at the time:

      @Winnie-Ther-Pooh, we are talking about two different standards here. In the U.S, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set the standard for using "Gluten-Free" in product advertising at less than 20 ppm of gluten. There is another standard, an internationally-recognized one, known as "Certified Gluten-Free" which is stricter, requiring less than 10 ppm of gluten. Certified Gluten-Free products will bear the GFCO logo. But in either case, it is important to understand that there still may be some gluten in the product which, for the super-sensitive subset of the celiac community, may still cause reactions.
