Stanley Vacuum Insulated Food Jar – For Eating on the Go

817n-V+v5qL._SL1500_

As much as I want to eat out every single meal always and forever like I used to do pre-celiac [About Me], I just can’t.  I eat at home for many of my meals and, sometimes, bring food with me while I’m out and about.

I picked up Stanley’s Classic Vacuum Seal Insulated Food Jar to use while on the go.  I settled on the Stanley after considering Klean Kanteen’s Canister and Hydroflask’s Canister.  I like the size, features and stats.

I got the 17 oz size (a 24 oz is also available).  It features vacuum insulation to keep food hot or cold for up to 12 hours.  Vacuum insulation means there are two layers with a vacuum in between.  That vacuum makes heat transfer very inefficient and insulates contents.

It’s made of 18/8 stainless steel and is naturally BPA free.  The lid doubles as a 12 ounce bowl.  It is also leak proof and packable and comes with a lifetime warranty.  Whammo.

Get This Book: Jennifer’s Way

51-E76wPPjL._SX331_BO1,204,203,200_

I typically try to read a book while on vacation.  We just got back from a trip to Seattle.  My choice for this trip was “Jennifer’s Way: My Journey with Celiac Disease–What Doctors Don’t Tell You and How You Can Learn to Live Again

All I can say is… wow.  Jennifer Esposito tells her compelling and sometimes heartbreaking storing of dealing with celiac disease for nearly her whole life.

If you have celiac disease or think you may have celiac disease, I think you should read this book.  Also… if you are in the healthcare industry or know someone who is a doctor or nurse… buy them this book.  Jennifer’s story shatters the myth that this is fad or minor disease.  This would also be a good title to share with family and friends to let them know just how serious this condition can be.

I don’t share the severity and length of Jennifer’s story or the severity of her symptoms, but I do see shadows of what she has gone through in my own experience.  I was essentially told I was crazy when I suggested to my general practitioner that I may have celiac disease.  Crazy.  Even after my GP received blood work results were a clear indication of celiac, I was told that “I might want to try a gluten free diet”.  No referral to Gastroenterologist or additional information.  Just… give it a shot and see what happens.  Had I not diagnosed myself through internet research and trial and error, I may have gone years and years without a diagnosis.  If it was up to my GP…. I would be trying to relax try and relieve the stress in my life that was causing my health problems.

My own situation has frustrated and confused me but I am utterly flabbergasted at Jennifer Esposito’s story.  I think you should get this book and share it with the people in your life.

Manufacturer Correspondence: GSK Sensodyne and Pronamel – Gluten Content

sensodyne-range

I use Sensodyne Repair & Protect Sensitive Toothpaste.  I had read on several websites that Sensodyne does not contain gluten.  I decided to write GSK myself to see what they had to say.  Note that this is their response to me personally.  Ingredients and procedures can change over time, check with manufacturers to get up to date information.

Response received 6/24/16…

Thank you for your enquiry regarding presence of gluten and related products in Sensodyne and Pronamel range of oral products. Sensodyne and Pronamel range of oral products do not contain gluten as an ingredient either in the raw materials or in the list of ingredients used in Sensodyne formulations.

GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare (GSK CH) only uses the highest quality raw material specifications for use in its products. GSK CH does not screen/test final product for gluten, instead GSK CH relies on detailed responses from suppliers of the raw materials which are used in the supply chain for these products. These raw material suppliers have respectively confirmed the absence of gluten in their specifications. As GSK CH does not test for gluten we are unable to provide a specific detection method or threshold for gluten and its derivatives.

We always recommend using any GSK product as described in the product label. Toothpastes do not contain prescribing information.

For consumers, who are intolerant or highly allergic to certain ingredients, it is recommended if there are further concerns to consult your doctor before using this product.

Recommended: Practical Paleo: A Customized Approach to Health and a Whole-Foods Lifestyle

6128fev7vTL._SX388_BO1,204,203,200_

Practical Paleo: A Customized Approach to Health and a Whole-Foods Lifestyle by Diane Sanfilippo

I actually picked up this book just prior to being diagnosed with Celiac Disease.  I knew that something was wrong [About Me] and had to change.  I did read the book, but I didn’t get around to actually trying the Paleo diet until after being diagnosed.  When I do it, I actually do a stricter version of Paleo called the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD).  That is basically Paleo minus diary (which is arguably excluded from Paleo anyway), corn and potatoes.

Back to the book…. this is a very well done into to the Paleo diet and includes the ideas behind Paleo along with a great selection of recipes.  If you’re looking to learn more about Paleo, I can recommend this book to you.
