I like Ener-g brand.

They make potato starch flour, tapioca flour, and rice flour.

The bean flour, I can't help you with--I don't use it (legume intolerant)

Lister, I make my own bread out of the same things. You can buy all of them in bulk at lifesource, I know were around the samish area, do you guys have one down there? If not I would check some of your health food stores for a bulk area, its cheaper to buy that way.

I prefer the flours at www.kinnikinnick.com. They're relatively inexpensive and the shipping is set at $10 flat rate. Plus, I don't think there's any chance for cc with them.

i use Ener-g, Bob's and Nu-World Amaranth.

i do NOT recommend bulk flours. the same scoops/carelessness + flour in the air will definitely result in cross-contamination. i have seen employees using the same cloth to wipe each one.

it's not worth the risk to save a few bucks.

I agree with the cc risk of buying in bulk just anywhere. This particular store I recommended lister to is a very allergy friendly store, as far as I have seen the bulk area is extremely clean, scoops slide into the plastic bins they aren't just hanging on the side. Still the risk is always there, yes. On another note the employees there are very knowledgeable of their gluten free products. I had an employee print me out 7 pages of gluten free items in the store, I thought that was very helpful.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
