Hi everyone,

I am of Italian descent and was wondering if anyone else who is Italian is dealing with celiac disease? I know celiac disease affects 1 in 250 Italians and was wondering if I could get your attitude about the cause and treatment of this disease.

Thanks

Amanda

Hi Amanda. I think prevalence of celiac disease in Italy may be higher than that. I read a couple papers indicating Italy having the highest incidence of celiac disease, but that was from several years ago. More recent papers documenting screenings from many different countries are showing celiac disease prevalence to be closer to 1%. Open Original Shared Link

Sorry, I'm not italian. Good luck to you!

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
