cost of GF foods/intro

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

I have celiacs (undiagnosed,) but I have symptoms of Lupus and Sjogren's. I

have gotten a lot better since going GF. Then I eat the wrong food because

some dodo customer service rep swears to me that an item is GF. My doc says

I am going to be diagnoses with Lupus and Sjogren's, but I have gotten a lot

better since he said that. My niece and two nephews are all diagnosed with

celiacs.

 

Wouldn't you know it, but I have also had weight loss surgery. So I need a

high-protein diet. Finding out which foods are gluten free is not as easy as

it appears when customer service representatives cannot read their computer

screens.

 

My protein powder IS gf (Designer Whey,) but the bars I was eating were not.

The customer service rep told me they were. My niece said to double check

it, and I found out that customer service rep was wrong. Trader Joes, huh?

I went there and they told me that their pound chocolate WAS gf, so I bought

it. I checked it at home once I got into their site for the first time and

found out that it is NOT gf. The Outback, huh? You think they are gf as

well? I went there and ordered the Caeser salad. I said GF and saw them write

it down. They brought me a salad with croutons. I complained. The owner

made it again for me.

 

I know this is all really expensive, but I don't know if there is any way

to get the costs down. The rest of my family is NOT gf, so that helps with

the expense somewhat. But I also have to stick to a high protein diet so that

is also more money.

 

I am really frustrated right now. I hope this all is not beyond me. I just

hope I can do it. But how can I do it when dodos tell me over the phone

that their products are GF and then OOPS, they are wrong. They misread the

computer screen.
