I really like the Envirokids cereals, and depending on where you get them they're not too expensive. You can buy them in bigger bags at Whole Foods which makes it cheaper.

I love Rice Chex- you can eat them plain as cereal or add bananas or craisons, put them in a baggie for a snack and add craisons to that too, make them into Muddy Buddies for snacks.

I like the Amy's frozen pizza but other people have complained that it's been causing problems for people...i'm not really supposed to be eating dairy but i still do so i don't know which is making me feel sick haha

i LOVE the MiDel Arrowroot cookies...they're animal crackers and they taste so good. I definitely think the other types will be good too.

If i think of any more I'll let you know :)

I like pretty much everything I get from Kinnickinnick. My favorite is the Italian Bread but I also like thier ready made pizza shells. For a real pizza treat IMHO you can't beat Gluten Free Pantry's French Bread mix for a deep dish fresh made pizza dough.

If you live near a Trader Joes, their ginger snaps are as good, if not better than "regular" ginger snaps.

The Kinnikinnick pre-made pizza crusts are good. I also liked the Foods By George Brownies and Pizza. I recently found Crunchmaster Mulit-seed Crackers that are very good. My son and I like Arrowhead Mills Maple Buckwheat flakes.

-Cereal: Rice Chex (with bananas or raisins), Honey Kix (regular Kix are not gluten-free), Trix, Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles

-Crackers: Glutino

-Bread: DD likes the Buttermilk Sandwich bread (it's like white bread) from Robin Ryberg's cookbook The Gluten Free Kitchen. I just made the dinner rolls from the same cookbook, they taste more like a whole wheat roll and they were very good. Her recipes are VERY easy, and most of her bread recipes don't require you to wait for the dough to rise.

-Pasta: Trader Joe's (cheaper) or Tinkyada brown rice pastas-- both are great

-Baked goods: we use Pamela's pancake and baking mix to make pancakes, banana chocolate chip muffins, pumpkin muffins, chocolate chip cookies. We also use a lot of our old recipes but sub an all purpose flour blend like Better Batter flour, Domato flour.

Bread: I would recommend baking your own in a breadmaker or using a mix. The Gluten Free Pantry mix and Pamela's Mix are both good. For a premade bread, Kinnikinnick is the best. I also like Sami's Bakery Millet and Flax bread, but it is NOT made in a dedicated facility. I have only gotten sick once though.

Crackers: I like Mary's Gone Crackers and Nature Valley Rice Thins

Pasta: Tinkyada Brown Rice Pasta and Quinoa Pasta

Cereal: Rice Chex, Gorilla Munch, Peanut Butter Panda Puffs, Mesa Sunrise

Baked Goods: I would recommend baking your own. Gluten Free Pantry, Namaste, and Pamela's mixes are all excellent. For Premade: Kinnikinnick, Foods by George

Pizza Crust: For premade, Kinnikinnick is pretty good. Personally, I like to use the Chebe mix and make my own. It is very easy and DELICIOUS!

~ Rice Chex with blueberries or agave nectar.

~ Glutino's English Muffins.

~ Glutino's crackers (I wouldn't call Mary's Gone crackers crackers, I call them poker chips :P )

Pretty short list. Good thing for me I don't limit my consumption to products labeled gluten-free.

best regards, lm

I actually have a lot of favorites now, as the stores around me are caring more and more gluten free products.

I love the Envirokidz cereals, especially the Panda Puffs (I'm a peanut butter junky) and their cereal bars. I also like Quinoa Flakes as warm cereal for breakfast. The Lifestream buckwheat/berry frozen waffles are also good and depending on my mood sometimes I like the Glutino plain bagels.

I like everything by Dr. Schar the pasta, the cookies, the crackers, everything. It's the closest to the real thing for me, especially their shortbread cookies. I like some of the Pamela's cookies, but it's very dependent on the type. I like the Pecan Shortbread the most.

The Glutino crackers and pretzels are very good and I like their frozen dinners but not as much as the Gluten Free Cafe ones. I agree with the Kinnikinnick pre-made pizza crusts, they have become a staple of my diet. As have the Amy's frozen dinners (especially the kid's meal Baked Ziti).

I'll have to think a little bit more and add on later.

*cereals--The only cereal I use is Lundberg Farms Hot Rice Cereal. Very good with maple syrup and walnuts.

* crackers--I like the Glutino Crackers very much.

* bread--Gluten Free Pantry French Bread Mix. Love it--I bake a loaf every couple of weeks, slice, and freeze.

* pasta--Tinkayda, by far. For soups, I like Mrs. Leepers Alphabets.

* natural baked goods--Enjoy Life Snickerdoodles and Chocolate Chip Cookies. Also their cocoa snack bars.

      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!!

      Years of testing - no real answers

      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.
