I'm going to try this again. I think the original might have gotten bumped-someone thinking I was running a biz or something-NOT TRUE. I often, informally and for free, conduct gluten-free baking classes in my home, which has a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. I will be doing so again for the holidays. I will be demonstrating maple-pecan pumpkin pie, spicy pumpkin bread, sage stuffing and garlic croutons for Thanksgiving and date-nut bread, cheesecake and rolled sugar cookies.

If you live in the area and are interested (or if you want to fly in-I had 1 person do that once;coordinated a visit with a demonstration) let me know what dates you would be available and I will be happy to include you. Weekdays/nights are best but Saturday is ok. We always end up with new people as the number of people being diagnosed grows each day.

God's blessings to you and all those you hold dear!

So you are offering a free service? You are letting folks come into your home, bake for free provide all ingredients for free? There is absolutely no catch? You don't sell anything at all?

Congrats to you if this is the case :) It sounds like a fun idea.

I don't think if its free or not has any bearing on this the rule states explicitly

Do not promote your own business, Web site or products.

And when I asked specifically this includes FREE, non commercial and charities as well. Apparently the important word is your.... not business ????

I guess the question is whether this is a product????

Yes, it is free and yes, I provide the ingredients unless someone wants to make their own to take home with them. And no, I do not have a business, and this is not a product as it is only information. I'm not promoting anything or selling anything at all. My extended family are extremely picky eaters and I know what it is like to try and deal with your meal being different than everyone else's and watching them get to eat all the "good stuff" (pies, rolls, cakes etc). Last Thanksgiving, my entire family was at my house for dinner and my kitchen is exclusively gluten-free-if they want to eat here, they eat my way. My mom asked me to make the dinner rolls one more time for her, (the ones that I made for the dinner) and my dad said he really liked the pies. That is all that I am trying to share-that feeling that life is once again ok. That you can eat a meal with everyone else and everyone can enjoy it. No gimmicks, no strings, no catches. I have a large kitchen and I enjoy baking (cheaper than a therapist)-that's it.

Would you mind posting your recipe for the dinner rolls? My kids really miss the gluten rolls. They snubbed my gluten-free ones last year. I thought they were good!

      Quaker corn grits are not certified gluten-free! These may, in fact, be contaminated by cross-contact in the manufacturing process. I have been following a strict gluten-free diet for about 3 years, with varying results depending on cross-contact issues. My celiac testing was inconclusive - and I wasn't willing to go back on gluten long enough for a full celiac diagnosis. I get pretty severe symptoms just a few hours after ANY gluten ingestion, no matter how small, so gastrointestinal doc recommends continuing to follow a gluten-free diet. So whether I have celiac disease (I do have one celiac gene) or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, treatment is the same. I have enjoyed corn grits on occasion, but started seeing a pattern of gluten intake symptoms after large family breakfasts. This last time, I researched everything I might have ingested. My family is pretty good about cross-contact, too. When I got to the Quaker corn grits, I found they are not certified gluten-free, and the labeling does not say gluten free anywhere - although the only ingredients are corn grits, salt and some vitamins and minerals. The research I did confirms that while Quaker grits do not "contain" gluten ingredients, they may indeed be contaminated by cross-contact with glutens. I threw out all the grits (and corn meal) I had in the pantry, and bought some certified as gluten-free. Hopefully, next family breakfast will be better! 😋

      Had my endoscopy yesterday I was told it would be about 6 weeks for the results..  Also found a small H Hernia  only small they won’t be doing anything about that about that.

      This is going to be a long post...   Thank you for your time/expertise reviewing this. TTG (Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase) IgA Quantitative Normal range: below <4.0 U/mL Value   <4.0 A negative result indicates that celiac disease is unlikely. If suspicion for celiac disease is strong then supplemental testing may be warranted. Concentration Interpretation: <4.0 U/mL: Negative 4.0-10.0 U/mL: Weak Positive >10.0 U/mL: Positive Endomysial IgA Titer Normal value: <1:10 Value  <1:10 INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION: Endomysial Antibody, IgA Titer The endomysial antigen has been identified as the protein cross-linking enzyme known as tissue transglutaminase. Performed By: ARUP Laboratories 500 Chipeta Way Salt Lake City, UT 84108 Laboratory Director: Jonathan R. Genzen, MD, PhD CLIA Number: 46D0523979 Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody Normal range: 0.00 - 4.99 FLU Value  <0.82 INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab, IgG In individuals with low or deficient IgA, testing for tissue transglutaminase (tTG) and deamidated Gliadin (DGP) antibodies of the IgG isotype is performed. Positive tTG and/or DGP IgG antibody results indicate celiac disease; however, small intestinal biopsy is required to establish a diagnosis due to the lower accuracy of these markers, especially in patients without IgA deficiency.

      Thanks for the additional info, @TerryinCO. Can you give the reference ranges for the celiac antibody tests. The scores you posted are not of much value without reference range numbers since there are not industry standards for these tests as far as the the scales they use. What they are testing for is the same but how they concoct the tests is a little different from lab to lab. You will need to repost the original numbers as well as the reference ranges in a new post as you will not be able to edit the original post. Also, unfortunately, it doesn't seem your doctor ordered a "total IGA" test to determine of you are IGA deficient. If there is IGA deficiency, test scores for individual IGA celiac antibody tests will be artificially low. You mention that there are genetic tendencies on your mother's side for thyroid problems. Perhaps there is also an inherited tendency for celiac disease on that side as well. It's only in the last couple of decades has the medical community begun to understand that celiac disease has long fingers that extend far beyond gut symptoms.

      Thanks for the replies, Trents and Knitty Kitty.   The endoscopy was a check on the Barret's esphagus status (every2-3 years).  So she wasn't really looking for Celiac conditions.  I was not on gluten free diet for the blood tests so no masking of results. The blood tests ordered afterward were (and results);  TTG (Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase) IgA Quantitative -  <4.0 (this is a 'weak positive' I beleive) ;  ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODIES IGA  <1.10 ;  TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE IGG AB <.82 ; and a CMP. I have been taking a B12 sublingual vitamin. I've been treated for hypothyroidism and GERDs for 20+ years.  Thyroid problems are genetic on my mother's side. With both your experience, I'd appreciate your input.  Thank you. Terry
