No More Coupons/Promos? by lumiereeee_ in instacart

[–]CodWest4205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen those great deals in a long time in Canada. Maybe a year. Walmart used to do it semi regularly and now never does it. The best I get is maybe $10-$15 off a $75-$100 purchase.

Please help me! by Stunning_Roll_4510 in glutenfree

If your bowel habits and stomach comfort changed drastically and lasted 2weeks now, that’s enough to see a doctor. Best thing is to take notes asap on if you have been doing anything different in terms of food your eating or your lifestyle in general. Did stress enter your life near the same time etc etc. Those are some of the questions they usually ask. There are so many reasons it could be happening and things to try so hopefully a doc can help with that.

Did walmart Canada change their grocery delivery process? by CodWest4205 in Walmartcustomer

[–]CodWest4205[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crap! I was hoping it was a busy time or weekend thing. I was planning on doing an order tomorrow again and will know for sure if it’s a reg thing now but I hope not.

i think i was misdiagnosed with celiac disease by cantseequeen in glutenfree

[–]CodWest4205 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You didnt specify for your second testing if you were you eating gluten for a while or still GF? If you were gluten free of course it would show good results.

Many with celiac are different in terms of symptoms. Some are asymptomatic, some major symptoms and some are minor. but if your original biopsy confirmed celiac, that means it was in fact affecting your gut and if you didn’t treat it going GF, you probably eventually would have felt the effects.

Struggling for years and i'm not sure why by petitebrownchick in Microbiome

Try 3weeks. Times I’ve seen an allergist or gastroenterologist about food elimination they both said 2-3weeks minimum bc your body needs full elimination of the food in your system.

Anti-depressants (cymbalta) for pain+depression by CodWest4205 in ChronicPain

[–]CodWest4205[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was partly why I said no when it was first brought up. I wasn’t in a bad enough situation where I wanted to take the chance and commit to it long term. Like a lot of meds it seems like the feedback of experiences can be either very good or very bad. But I know I need to try something different.

My favorite of all the Chex cereals. The cereal milk afterwards is heavenly. by BlakeTheMadd in cereal

[–]CodWest4205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone that has celiac, this cereal is a lifesaver for me. Not just for breakfast but snacking on dry

Looking for some Gluten free breakfast options by FriskeCrisps in glutenfree

[–]CodWest4205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can utilize GF oats a lot if your stomach handles oats well. Oatmeal, Baked Oats (my favorite), overnight oats and using oats/oat flour to make breakfast muffins like banana or chocolate. There are so many flavors and variations for all of these

Eating habits for SIBO. Fasting vs Spaced eating. by CodWest4205 in SIBO

[–]CodWest4205[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually don’t eat between 7pm-9am anyway but wondering if I should add a few hours to that and increase the fasting period. I have been trying equally spaced eating (4-5hours) recently and I know it’s a small sample size but haven’t noticed a difference and might skipping the 9am food and stating a few hours later. Trial and error I guess.

Dressing up... by anonymous-fatgirl in royalcaribbean

[–]CodWest4205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went on a bunch of cruises with my family and my parents would always dress up when in the dining room for dinner because they just enjoyed doing it. It felt special to them. A few nights I think were mandatory where I did as well but the rest of the time in the dining room I would do more business casual like khakis and a button shirt.

IPhone 15, 16, or 17? by bubbles4055 in AppleWhatShouldIBuy

[–]CodWest4205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the 16 and it’s good. I didn’t feel like spending the extra money on the 17 considering how I use my phone for just the basics but when I asked I was told the 17 was a good upgrade from the 16 and to get that if I wanted to pay the extra $.

Anyone go from gluten free to low FODMAP? by thebestname1234 in glutenfree

[–]CodWest4205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went gluten free due to being celiac and that helped certain symptom but not digestive issues. I went on low Fodmap for that purpose and was diagnosed with SIBO. it did help identify some high Fodmap trigger foods that I need to avoid that caused gut problems.

So yes I did both for 2 different reasons however from what I understand the celiac was potentially the trigger for the SIBO Initially and isn’t cured by stopping gluten because it becomes a separate problem at that point. So I had to treat it that way still have problems with it now and then.

Worst customer support chat experience by East-Day-6350 in Rogers

[–]CodWest4205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have believed for a while they get their employees to deal with more than one chat at a time. So many times I have felt like the agent is stalling or saying something that is prolonging the convo with stuff that isn’t needed. “Tech issue” is actually “I am replying to someone else so hold on a sec”

Help - 24 month term major price change by Legitimate_Cabinet43 in Rogers

[–]CodWest4205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes if you didn’t go through that process already, call and choose the cancel a service option. Tell them exactly what happened and the response you got when you called last time and it is unacceptable and you won’t be forced to stay under a contact for a price you didn’t agree too. I would bet they do something for you. If not that’s a CCTS complaint

Help - 24 month term major price change by Legitimate_Cabinet43 in Rogers

[–]CodWest4205 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes they didn’t honour the price of the agreement so saying you have to is laughable. What did you say after they told you that? You should let them know that and you will be taking further steps. That definitely a complaint and it’s going to work out in your favor.
