I am DYING for a dang soft pretzel.......why have I not been able to find anything like one since I've been diagnosed...and WHY is it that when you get a little tipsy off of some weekend social activities that you CRAVE gluten. My boyfriend is amazing, luckily...because I wanted pizza so horribly this weekend and luckily he didn't allow it! And I'm talking Domino's...I know there's gluten-free pizza but it isn't the same :(

We made soft pretzels a few months ago and they turned out really well. I wish I knew where I put the recipe. If I find it, I'll post it. The pretzels were very similar to Auntie Anne's. Now if only I could duplicate their sweet mustard...

I don't have an answer on the pretzel but on the craving question. One possible reason why you are craving gluten foods when you party is because you may be getting glutened or CCed by what you are drinking. Gluten has an addictive nature, like with a cig for a past smoker if you get a little bit it will set off the 'I need more' reaction in the brain. Many celiacs will also get much more intoxicated off of a gluten beverage which will then lower the inhibitions and make risky behavior much more likely. Use a lot of caution with your beverages when out.

Wow... You're the only person I've ever heard say that about getting more intoxicated off of glutenous beverages than gluten free. I always just thought I was nuts because I used to be a two beer queer and now I can drink like a fish. Hmmmm... I guess it's NOT all in my head. Odd enough, the type of drunk has also changed for me.

I've never heard anyone say that either. I don't think it's possible to get glutened off of your own bottle of Chardonney...I wasn't really partying just casually enjoying time with loved ones...I guess that makes sense but I crave pizza on the regular...just because where I work its always around...and boy does it smell delicious. thanks for the advice!!! :P

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @thejayland10, Do you still consume dairy?  Dairy can cause increased tTg IgA levels in some people with celiac disease who react to casein, the protein in dairy, just like to gluten.   You might try cutting out the processed gluten free foods.  Try a whole foods, no carbohydrate Paleo diet instead, like the AIP diet (the Autoimmune Protocol Diet by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself). Processed gluten free foods can be full of excess carbohydrates which can alter your microbiome leading to Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).  SIBO is found in some people who are not responding to a gluten free diet.  SIBO can elevate tTg IgA levels.  The AIP diet cuts out sources of carbohydrates like rice, potatoes (nightshades), quinoa, peas, lentils, legumes, which starves out the SIBO bacteria.  Better bacteria can then proliferate.   I followed the AIP diet to get rid of my SIBO.  It's a strict diet, but my digestive tract had time to rest and heal.  I started feeling better within a few days.  Feeling improvement so soon made sticking to the AIP diet much easier. References: Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth among patients with celiac disease unresponsive to a gluten free diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7759221/   Luminal antigliadin antibodies in small intestinal bacterial overgrowth https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9260801/#:~:text=Luminal total IgA concentrations (p,response to local bacterial antigens.   Potato glycoalkaloids adversely affect intestinal permeability and aggravate inflammatory bowel disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12479649/

      First, welcome to the forum, @boy-wonder! Second, a little clarification in terminology is in order. Granted, inconsistency is rampant when it comes to the terminology associated with gluten disorders, but it has more or less become settled in this fashion: "Gluten intolerance" is a general term that car refer to either celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). "Gluten Sensitivity" is the shortened version of NCGS. Third, Celiac disease is not an allergy to gluten. It is an autoimmune disorder characterized by gluten ingestion causing the immunes system to attack the lining of the small bowel, causing damage to it over time due to the constant inflammation that wears down the "villi" (mucosal finger-like projections that make up the lining). Over a significant period of time as gluten continues to be consumed, this generally results in impaired nutrient absorption. There are specific blood antibody tests available to check for celiac disease but the testing will not be valid while on a reduced gluten diet or a gluten free diet. Those already having having begun a gluten free diet must go back to consuming generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks if they wish to pursue testing for celiac disease. Fourth, 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. Fifth, you state that you are convince you don't have celiac disease by are just "gluten intolerant" (aka, gluten sensitive). How do you know that? It seems to me you are making a dangerous assumption here. I suggest you consider getting formally tested for celiac disease.

      Gluten free parakeet food

      By AllyJR · Posted

      Has anyone found a gluten free parakeet seed mix? I can't find a single one! My doctor wants me to make sure all pet food in the house is gluten free but I'm not sure if that's even possible with parakeets. We love our birds so much! I'm wondering if anyone has ever made their own bird seed mix if gluten free ones are not available.

      Hi, new member. About me, I had been suffering with weight gain, bloating and irregular and extreme bowel habits for a year or so. For example, I went on holiday in 2023, then again I  2024 at the same time of year and every shirt I wore in 2023 didn't fit anymore, couldn't even do the buttons up. Being in my mid 50s I put it down to age and middle aged spread. I'd been lucky all my life having good metabolism and being able to eat anything and as much as I like without putting on any weight, it drove my other half mad. Over a conversation with a friend health and age Related stuff came up and he mentioned someone he knew who had recently found out they were gluten intolerant,  I looked it up and had every one of 8 or so symptoms listed. Bloating,  weight gain,  headaches, brain fog,  constipation, etc etc. I took the decision to give going gluten free a try. Within 1 week I had lost 4 lb, now 7 weeks in I've lost 13 lb. I feel much better in general,  the bloating has severely subsided, it used to keep me awake at night as I felt so uncomfortable.  So pretty much a success story, as everyone here knows,  going gluten free isn't always easy, and eating out can be awkward,  but I consider myself lucky that I appear to have an intolerance rather than an allergy or being celiac.  I can deal with most of the gluten free options at the supermarket but, the big one for me is bread, I love bread, and the gluten free options I've tried are pretty poor. I was at a posh black tie event last night and chose all the food options I thought would be gluten free,  however,  there was bread on the table and I couldn't resist it, I had I small piece of bread,  god it was good, I wanted more but I resisted. Today I feel a bit dodgy, my stomach is churning, and I generally feel a bit urgh.  So here's the question, is that really down to 1 small piece of bread or is it coincidence?  I'd be interested in hearing how other people have reacted to a similar situation,  as I was considering having a day off every now and then and enjoying some lovely fresh bread.
