WOW!

I went to our local health food store today. The guy was really great, and really helpful. He gave me a FREE loaf of Kinickkinnick (am I spelling that right?) Whole Grain Bread. it was REALLY dark brown and looked yummy. It was!!! Wow. It's $7 at the store, so it was a great free gift! WOW.

Anyway....I bought xanthum gum too but it was REALLY expensive there....so i won't be getting it there again, BUT it balanced out b/c of the free bread.

Did I mention that the bread was really good? I had a real live grilled cheese sandwich today and it TASTED like a grilled cheese sandwich.

Glad you got a free loaf. Seven dollars is $2 more than I pay at our local Wild Oats, so it seems that their bread is expensive, too!

BTW, I also like Kinnikinnick's donuts!

I'm going to check if our Whole Foods carries it. I mean, I hate to take the business elsewhere, BUT $2 bucks IS $2 bucks! LOL :D

I found a new bread for me. It's called energy, but it may be spelled differently. Light Tapioca. It is really soft and tastes wonderful. It's not in the freezer section, it's just on a shelf. The bad part, it has a short shelf life once opened; only a week, but it was only 3.80.

I disagree and i think that ener-g bread is disgusting. ew. Kinnikinnick bread is the best stuff out there by far. I have recently tried their donuts and they taste like real donuts! And i now order their mixes in bulk from the kinnikinnick website.

I wish I could find the Kinnickinnick (sp?) bread near me. I agree with Adam, I really don't like the Ener-G bread - it smells like alcohol or something in the bag, and then there is an even worse smell when toasting - BUT, my sister loves it, so to each their own.

I really enjoy the Food For Life gluten-free Rice Bread, but like many gluten-free breads - only toasted (The only kind of bread that I like without toasting is homemade!).

I like this Food For Life Bread when they don't sell it frozen. At my local Whole Foods they sell it frozen, but down the street at Trader Joe's they sell it on the shelf - it's cheaper, and for some reason, when not frozen, has a better texture. So at TJ's this bread is only about $3.80.

I've had the Kinnick bagles & donuts & they're both excellent.

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      By trents · Posted

      When you say a GI doc did an IGA five years ago and it was negative, which IGA measure do you speak of. There are several possibilities. Do you refer to the tTG-IGA? Have you had a total IGA test done? It isn't a test for celiac per se but can establish whether or not you are IGA deficient. If you are IGA deficient, it will drive individual IGA test scores down and can result in false positives. The tTG-IGA should always be accompanied by a total IGA test. When people are IGA deficient and actually do have celiac disease we often see it detected by the IGG tests. The same can be said if they have been skimping on gluten previous to the blood draw and, IMO, negatives in the IGA test spectrum with positives in the IGG spectrum can also point to NCGS or NCGS transitioning to celiac.

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. I agree that if your biopsy ends up negative, that you still may need to be gluten-free, as you could be in the non-celiac gluten sensitivity area. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. Be sure to eat lots of gluten daily until your endoscopy, otherwise you could get false negative results.

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      By hmkr · Posted

      I had several celiac blood tests done at a rheumatologist last month. I've had many possible symptoms over the last 23 years, including GERD/LPR, constipation, and recently joint stiffness and pain in my hands. It all started during my first pregnancy. 1/160 ANA back then as well as now with no autoimmune diagnosis. I've had undiagnosed high fevers, swollen lymphs nodes, ear pain, miscarriages, to name just a few more symptoms. I can't help but be upset at the many doctors I've been to that have missed this. A GI doctor only did the IgA 5 years ago, which was negative then too, and didn't do a biopsy as a result during an endoscopy shortly after. Deaminated Gliadin IgG Antibody test was 90, >15 being abnormal.   Deaminated Gliadin IgA Antibody, negative Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody, negative Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody, negative I'm scheduled for a biopsy at the end of January. The new GI doctor thinks if not celiac, I will still need to be gluten free the rest of my life due to the antibodies my body is producing. I feel like it's got to be celiac. I've been consuming gluten every day to prepare for this test. It can't come soon enough.  Thoughts on that IgG being positive and the others negative? I haven't gotten a clear explanation for that yet. Thanks in advance for any input!!

      That’s good to know. Might be time to head back to my gastrointestinal doctor then.

      Yeah, you may not have been consuming enough gluten to result in valid testing.
