hi, guys!

it's your buddy Laurel with another alcohol question.

my sister got Connie Sarros's (sp?) lower calorie gluten-free cookbook for Christmas and i was reading in it today. it was published last year, so i don't think it's a question of outdated information. she claims that we have to be careful with imported wines, because, although American wines are generally not fortified, many non-domestics have non-grape ingredients added to them (making them fortified).

we had an italian pinot grigio with dinner tonight and i read the label and all it says is contains sulfites (which i know is a problem for some here). but do i now really have to start worrying about wine? it's just confusing, because this summer my dietitian (who was fairly clueless about things gluten-free) told me to drink American wine only unless i called manufacturers of foreign wines because "they add other ingredients to the wine and don't have the regulatory processes we do here." this sounds like crazy talk to me. please help? i've been drinking domestic and imported for months now and haven't noticed anything... what is all this fortification talk?

Very interesting!! I have had some issues with some wines. I wasn't quite sure if it was just alcohol or the wine... but issues anyway. I am intersted to see what others have to say.

hahahaha! italian and french wines have - in many cases - stricter restrictions than US wines. sulfites aren't an additive, they are naturally a part of the grapes and processing, though organic wines are apparently MUCH lower in sulfites, if those bother you. in general, no, wines aren't a problem. I might avoid cheap wines, worrying about fillers, but a good quality wine, according to the vintners I've talked to (two different vineyards where I "know" (friend of a friend), a good wine does not have additives.

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Thank you. That’s all really helpful. I think it must have been something she ate as the poo colour has settled now.    Starting to see improvements in her tummy, slowly but surely!

      I take all vitamins and supplements.  My cardiologist has me taking B12 5,000 once per weeks.  He gives me complete blood work every 6 months.  He's still building my D levels which is now in 60s.  He wants them in low 80s.  I take 5,000 IU's daily.  With this dosage I've gone from 42 to 65 over a period of about 5 years.  It builds very slowly.   As far as iron, I take a double dose of gentle iron with C on an empty stomach on alternate nights.  Yes, iron is a component for many of us with RLS, but mostly "brain iron" that in some people may require iron transfusions.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, get serum antibody testing done for celiac disease. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.
