I Ate Jell-o

This is a nice little experience that happened to me lately.

Near me was a "church fete" recently and folks had donated goods to some of the stalls.

Lo and behold on the Produce stall was a packet of Jell-O (coconut variety) and a tin of baked beans with ham and maple syrup.

Perhaps some immigrant Americans had brought them for their initial period before they discover shops, etc, found them surplus and donated them.

I snapped them up like a flash.

I thought Jell-O was wonderful, it is like our 'Angel Delight' but far nicer as it is smooth.

I had half the can of beans on gluten-free-WF bread this morning...

Life has these little 'magic moments' doesn't it, which are full of meaning. Someone cares!!!

:P

Haha...that's awesome! At first I was confused, then I remembered that you don't live here, so you wouldn't have tried it b4. Nice!

:D Hey, I haven't had jello for 10 years and just learned it is gluten-free. I mentioned it to my Mom and she made it for me during visit home on sunday (orange flavoured, with coolwhip). What a blast from childhood (and easy for her to remember). I think sometimes our families are overwhelmed by all the rules. Jell-o is a pretty safe choice at shopping mall cafeterias as well.

There was a further, amusing thing about that fete.

All ladies were invited to buy a donated hat to raise funds so there was this particular lady I know, very stylish and dignified, in a most stately hat, manning the bric-a-brac stall.

She is very outgoing so she was actively trying to interest passers by in the goods.

The item I most remember her trying to palm off on everybody was ... a toilet seat!!!!!

My excuse I gave her for not buying it was: "I've been already!"

:lol:

That incident came back to me and I've noticed we enjoy our "basic" humour.

:D

Jell-o has been my favorite dessert since I was little! I was so glad to know it was gluten-free!

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
