I checked them out on their site and Facebook.  Below is one of the posts to them:

Carita Stubbe March 9 at 4:21pm Sorry to say - that your "Flackers" (flax seed crackers) were absolutely un-eatable!! I love Flax Seeds, Apple Cider Vinegar, Garlic, Chili Pepper and Basil…….but whatever you used to "glue" these ingredients together with…..made these crackers disgusting

Did the company send you samples?  Please let us know what you think of them if you get the samples or buy them.

Topic: Whatcha doing and eats - Thursday

I bought a new computer a year ago and if it was a car, it would qualify for the Lemon Law.  It is a Lemon Computer.  The place that we bought it from was lame.  My husband liked the owner but I didn't and it was an issue that I thought he was lame and my husband thought he was great.  We had an appointment to bring it in for him to check it yet again.  Two days later, he closed his shop.  I really hate to say I told you so but I said that to my husband a number of times.  

It will freeze up for no reason.  Very frustrating to the max.  It is very irritating to me that he closed the shop the way he did.  We bought it from him plus bought the extended warranty. My husband called him a few times with no return calls. I got fed up and called him, and left a voice mail.  I mentioned the Better Business Bureau, Yelp, and small claims.  He called my husband right back.  

He has agreed to buy our computer back which I am taking him up on.  We need to buy another computer and transfer the info on my current one to the new one.  I am going to get another Dell but want to get a Mac at some point.  Macs have less problems.  My work and personal life are contained in my computer so reliability is extremely important.

(Thanks for reading my "Whatcha doing")

My eats:

B - Coffee

L - Flaxseed wrap with turkey (really like the Flaxseed wrap!)

D - Grilled Talipia

S - Apple

Stay healthy and keeping my head in the game!

I am so glad that you have a diagnosis and finally know what is going on with you.  Even though it will take a couple of months to get better, at least you feeling better is ahead.  

Please update us as to how you're doing.

Thank you so much for your post and checking on me.  

I've had lots going on with my son and work.  Feeling overwhelmed, however, your post keeps me on track as far as checking in here with all of you.

Thanks for the check-in and getting me on track with my BOTT friends.

I hope you really feel better soon.  I have an ulcer too but it doesn't bother me at this point.  I used to take medicine for it.  I never heard about pine nut problems, but I don't usually eat them. Hope you all have a great day. Tri

also - someone mentioned pine nuts can cause a real problem - like really bad taste while eating... 

not saying that other issues are not causing that... but just in case (like me ) yu are pine nut lover:

" (...) pine nuts are very fashionable and there has been a surge in demand which has largely been met from China. The trees from which they are produced are wild not cultivated. Quality controls are not good. Growing in the same area is a related tree producing visually almost identical pine nuts but on this tree they are mildly poisonous. Not dangerous but they produce...wait for it..... a metallic taste which can last for up to three weeks.

you only need a few in a pack. So several people can eat from one pack and only one gets the "wrong" type. Just a couple of these can affect taste buds. "

"Scientists on the trail of "pine nut mouth," a nasty metallic aftertaste that some people get after eating the tender little nuts, have been stumped in their latest effort to zero in on the cause of the mysterious affliction."

when I feel like my old self, I will put my Fitbit back on and get to walking more......gotta get well first.  My eating has not been a priority for 55 days......I have been eating whatever tasted half-way decent....( I have been diagnosed with reflux and esophageal ulcers).....have tried to be careful but haven't weighed or measured anything.   This is totally not how I usually eat.  I am anal about weighing and measuring everything.   Food has started to taste some better, so maybe I can get back on track real soon.

water.........struggling to get 50 oz. a day in......even water tastes bad   :(

todays eats......breakfast......banana (fruit is starting to taste ok)

                       Lunch..........school is feeding us brisket and all the trimmings.....hope it tastes good !

                       Dinner..........I am making vegetable soup when I get home......it sounds good

                        Snacks.........plan on an orange or an apple

I hope everyone has a great and healthy day !!

Slow and steady !!!!  Have a Blessed Day !!!!!!

Yes, it has been over a week now......I am somewhat better, but doctor says it will take two months to get well.   Food still tastes bad especially sweet things....haven't even had coffee or tea because of the taste.  It still amazes me at the amount of calories I consume even though the food doesn't taste good.  I just keep on eating !    Thanks for thinking about me.....I really do need to get back on track !
