I know the feeling. :o

I keep thinking, "It's all fun to torture me now, just wait until you get diagnosed". <_<;)

I especially love when someone asks me to go pick up a pizza. :rolleyes:

It's fall. People are baking... trying to perfect their recipes before the holidays. If possible, hide a stash of something yummy and gluten free that you can eat when you just can't stand it anymore.

I recently found Glutino Vanilla Wafers - Chocolate covered. They taste wonderful! The box has 16 cookies, and each cookie has just 40 calories (serving size is 4 cookies, 160 calories per serving). I took a whole box and put each cookie in its own baggie. I've got them in my desk at work. I figure I can politely decline anything offered, and if I decide I must have something, go back to my own desk and get a cookie. I wrapped them individually so I'm not tempted to eat the whole box. Someone with more will-power than I have could probably just bring the box to work and eat one at a time as needed.

btw - the cookies I mentioned have soy and dairy. If you are soy or dairy free, I apologize for possibly making the temptation even worse. But no matter what your food restrictions are, find something that you truly love and would consider a treat, not something you eat every day. It really does help.

      The body reacts to all grain proteins in all grains from my observation. Call it Gluten, Gliadin, which is what they test for commonly, however, I am Celiac and react with dermatitis herpetiformis to corn and the glutenous protein in it is called Zein. They only test for Gliadin. Testing needs to be updated in my opinion. It only take a small parts per million to continuously create systemic inflammation. This is not productive to healing and all grains contain some for gluten like substance. It's called Molecular Mimicry.

      Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's true that many grains contain proteins that are technically classified as "glutens" (like zein in corn and orzenin in rice), but it's important to clarify that these proteins are not the same as the gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye, which contains gliadin and glutenin. These specific proteins are the ones that trigger an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease. For individuals with celiac disease, the primary concern is avoiding gluten from wheat, barley, and rye, as these are the grains scientifically proven to cause damage to the small intestine. While some people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity may also react to other grains, this is not universal and varies from person to person. For most people with celiac disease, grains like corn and rice are considered safe and are widely recommended as part of a gluten-free diet. That said, you raise an important point about systemic inflammation and individual tolerance. Some people may indeed have sensitivities to other grains or find that eliminating additional grains helps them feel better. However, it’s crucial to differentiate between celiac disease, which requires strict avoidance of wheat, barley, and rye, and other conditions or sensitivities that may involve broader dietary restrictions.

      I disagree, Lori. Gluten is a particular protein, not a category of proteins. It is found in wheat, barley and rye. Other cereal grains have proteins that resemble gluten to one degree or another but are not gluten. Gluten is gluten. Avenin is avenin. But yes, it is true, that informally speaking, some have used the term "gluten" to refer to the proteins found in these other cereal grains. It's like the term "kleenex" has come to refer to all facial tissues.
    • Lori Lavell
      In fact ALL grains contain different forms of gluten that go by different names. Corn contains Zein and Rice contains Orzenin. We all need to realize that a very small amount of any of these grains can cause continued systemic inflammation which is not optimal for allowing the body to heal itself.

      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.
