In my journey through Celiac land, I looked up the RJ Reynolds web site.

Might be interesting to some of you the amount of stuff in Cigs.

Web Site - RJRT.com

I too smoke, need and want to. If it doesn't you don't want to (me either).

Will contact celiac3270 when I can devote a while on the comp. and maybe he or someone can walk me through the down load for delf. Thanks for passing on my problems. Wish I could do that on to a palm pilot and carry it around in the grocery store. But on the other hand don't really know or care to learn what a palm pilot does. You know.."old dog, new tricks"

You smoke? I never knew that!

Downloading the Delphi list? You can put it on a palm! Lots of people do. You can buy them--as low as maybe $75-99 dollars and put the Delphi list on as a text file which you can read--bring it to the store, etc. You can also store contacts, to-do lists, calendar, etc. on it (in addition to notes) and if you want, download various programs free.

If you want it on a Palm, you'll want the text file version (rather than Word) unless you get a "Pocket PC" which is a little more expensive. For the computer, Microsoft Word will do.

How ironic is this posting!?!? I quit last Sunday 8/21. :D I am really struggling right now because my husband smokes. I really want to quit though. My jaw is sore from chewing gum! <_< I never thought to look at a tobacco website for pointers though! Thanks!

Yep, celiac3270, guilty as charged!!!! :(

I smoke (although I don't smoke in the house or the van). For each and every pregnancy though, I quit cold turkey, which as it turns out, for the twin pregnancy, it's a good thing I did since they were 9 weeks early and weighed 3 1/2 lbs. each. If I smoked, their birthweight would have been much lower and who knows what complications would have arisen then......

Unfortunately, as soon as those little buns were pushed out of the oven, I was downstairs quick as a flash lighting up! Going through labour does that to ya! Actually, when I brought the twins home and also had a two yr old and a seven yr old at home, smoking is probably what helped me keep my sanity!!!! :P

I am getting very close to the point that a smoker needs to be at to be successful at quitting though.......

I'll let you know when I do so you can all keep your fingers crossed for me!

Okay, let me know when you try.

Have you called the cig companies about gluten? If you're still getting sick...could there be something in there that's bothering you? I mean, they put so much cr** in them like ingredients from cleaning fluids and tar and stuff...why wouldn't they shove in a little gluten for good measure? :P

OOh, got to go, wanted to say one more thing, but out of time....]

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat.  In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue.   A wedge pillow will really help with this - or raising the top bed legs with bricks.

      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 etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      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

      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.

      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.
