Hi everyone.

I went to Tesco's last night and from their "free from" range I made an amazing discovery.

"Genius" Gluten Free Bread.

I cooked it tonight for the first time and I was left SPEECHLESS!!!

It was amazing, beautiful and in my opinion, better than any normal bread I have ever eaten.

It cut perfectly to form slices and toasted a dream!!! Topped with some strawberry jam, I was in heaven!! Amazing how something like this has made me write this.

The website is Open Original Shared Link and there is a competition on there to win a years supply!! It has a 4 day "use by" period, but in my opinion, its worth it. It was

I saw this bread on-line recently and am glad you mentioned them. I am traveling to the UK this Fall for a 2 week vacation and hope they have this in the Whole Foods in London! Sounds excellent!

You don't even need t go to whole foods-they have it in the regular grocery stores (sansburys too). London is the absolute best for gluten-free :)

..in fact Genius is now available in all the major supermarkets..

Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda's and now Morrison's.

Another one to look out for is Marks & Spencers new gluten-free range including their own bread.

Thumbs up in our house! :D

I live in Boston, Massachusetts and we have incredible gluten-free options here. Lots of restaurants do gluten-free menu's and most of the large chain grocery stores have gluten-free sections now.

This will be my 8th trip to London and that's one of the major reasons I come back.....aside from the fact I love that city! I have never had any problems finding good food to eat and no one has looked at me cross-eyed when I say gluten free. You gotta love that!

I have heard that UK Starbucks are going to be carrying Genius bread for their gluten-free sandwiches.

You mean I could get a sandwich in the UK at Starbuck's and all I can get here in the US are some Kind bars or cookies that are just OK? :blink: I am so mad that Starbuck's got rid of the orange almond cake....that was really good. I also think that Americans tendency to complain and sue may be at the root cause of the problem here. In the UK, if you sue someone and lose, you have to pay the legal costs of the person you are suing. That dramatically cuts down on frivolous lawsuits. We know there are too many of those in the States and I really think that is what is keeping many items out of stores.

I will have to hit Bucky's in London and see what they have to offer.

      I would ask for a total IGA test (aka, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. That test should always be ordered along with the TTG IGA. If someone is IGA deficient, their individual celiac IGA test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Make sure you are eating generous amounts of gluten leading up to any testing or diagnostic procedure for celiac disease to ensure validity of the results. 10g of gluten daily for a period of at least 2 weeks is what current guidelines are recommending. That's the amount of gluten found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      There was not a total IGA test done, those were the only two ordered. I would say I was consuming a normal amount of gluten, I am not a huge bread or baked goods eater

      Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten in the weeks leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing? And was there a Total IGA test done to test for IGA deficiency?

      Thank you for the reply. It was the TTG IGA that was within normal limits

      Welcome to the forum, @jlp1999! Which IGA test do you refer to as being normal? TTG-IGA? Total IGA? DGP-IGA? Yes, any positive on an IGA or an IGG test can be due to something other than celiac disease and this is especially true of weak positives. Villous atrophy can also be cause by other things besides celiac disease such as some medications, parasitic infections and even some foods (especially dairy from an intolerance to the dairy protein casein). But the likelihood of that being the case is much less than it being caused by celiac disease.
