    Apparently, the jury is out on whether or not type 2 is an autoimmune disorder. Regardless, there is not a strong statistical link between type 2 diabetes and celiac disease. But there is for type 1 diabetes which is generally considered to be an autoimmune disorder.

    Your question would have been more appropriate here: https://www.celiac.com/forums/forum/17-related-issues-disorders/

    For those who are new to the gluten free diet, I have to say that over the years that I've been gluten free I have found the Lance Gluten Free crackers to taste more like a Ritz than any of the others.  It has that buttery taste but the rice flour that's in it gives it a little extra crunch.  I think they taste much better than the Ritz.  They're great in soups or straight out of the box.

    Articles of this type on here always puzzle me. Do you not have ingredients listed on product packaging in America? We do in Britain.

    We definitely do, and I think the questions we receive (usually via our "Contact Us" form) are from friends or family members of celiacs who will be hosting them and really have no clue about what gluten-free means.

    I hadn't thought of that, I just tell people I can't have wheat barley or rye and read to the ingredients on the packet! Thanks for your reply.

    Ten Top Brands of Gluten-Free Potato Chips
    Celiac.com 06/25/2019 - Just in time for summer, here are ten of America's top gluten-free potato chip brands. True, potatoes are naturally gluten-free, and so are potato chips, unless they've got added gluten ingredients. However, many brands do not label their chips as gluten-free, and many of these chips may be made on shared equipment. That's not necessarily a big deal, but some people like to play it safe. These brands go the extra mile to make sure their chips are labeled "Gluten-Free," which means that you can breath extra easy about serving them to people with celiac disease.
    Do you have a favorite chip that's not on this list? Let us know in the comment section.

      Perimenopause/menopause

      Hello there, it's been ages since I signed into this account. Wanted to see if there were other celiac patients that have gone through perimenopause/menopause and chose to take estrogen or wear an estrogen patch? I know all of our bodies are different but curious how it went or is going for you. Thanks so much.

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me. Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.
