Delight gluten-free Magazine Alert!

I just wanted to alert everyone of a mistake in the Texas Bean Soup Recipe In A Jar. Do NOT put barley pearls in the jar! Barley of course is NOT gluten-free

The owner of the magazine has been notified & action is being taken & the person who added this recipe has been fired.

Please spread the word to all about this mistake. I'm sure seasoned celiac people would know not to add barley but for newbies this could prove to be a diaster....

thanks

This magazine has great potential but we all must understand it is in its first year & has some growing pains to iron out.......

Yikes, good catch. I just got mine and haven't had a chance to read it yet. I actually wrote to Delight after their last issue, because from cover to cover, including the front cover, there were grammatical errors on every page. It was distracting to me, and I implored them to pay more attention to the grammar, because what they're saying is good. It's the same thing I tell my students: good grammar ensures that good ideas come through, but bad grammar makes it look like you don't care. I'm eager to see if the copy editor stepped it up this time, because I like this magazine and want to see it do well.

There are some grammatical errors in this issue, but I wouldn't say they are on every page. I always notice those too.

It's pretty scary about the barley inclusion. It's good to see they are stepping up and addressing the issue. It's a beautiful magazine. I really hope they can make a go if it.

The last issue was really bad. They were on every page that didn't have an advertisement. Even the small things, like "alright" (incorrect) instead of "all right" (correct) still count as errors. That's what having been an editor once and a professor now will do to you, I suppose. But I'm a fan of the magazine, it's probably my favorite one, and I'm not going to unsubscribe over something like that. Their content is good, and I'm hoping they just needed to be gently nudged in the direction of Garner's "Modern American Usage" to tighten up the editing a little. (No, I didn't actually suggest a book. I'm not THAT cranky!)

I have never heard of this magazine but was struck by the fact that the person responsible was supposedly fired? :huh: I could see if they made more than a couple of errors at their job but if this was a one time incident, I don't think it warrants being fired from your job. The worst that will happen is a Celiac is going to get sick for a couple of days and that is truly regrettable but most Celiacs are going to get sick from time to time, unless they live in a glass bubble and never leave their homes. I wouldn't call it a disaster. The very few times I have been accidentally glutened, I got sick but it doesn't last and life goes on.

I also think that most intelligent newbies would pick up on that. After all, it's in big letters everywhere in regards to celiac that it's wheat, barley and rye that you cannot have.

When this came up on Delphi yesterday (the post has since been deleted, but I happened to make a copy of it), someone that works for the magazine stated that:

it happened because a designer added in her own recipe after the article content had gone through proofing. She has been terminated from the Delight Staff.

I don't know much about magazine publication, but that sounds like a failure in the process. If I were the one publishing the magazine, I don't think I would have kept her around either. I think they did the right thing. Having been a newbie once upon a time, I think I might have been confused about what I could and could not eat if I saw barley as an ingredient in a recipe printed in a gluten-free magazine.

I think the magazine is great, and I will continue to support them.

If the employee had actually done that, added a recipe in after everything had gone through proofing, that's a different matter entirely. That's a no-no, for sure.

I would agree with the firing then......it was warranted. That would be comparable to changing info on a drug script, after a doctor had signed off on it. :o

As for being a newbie and the resulting confusion, my rule of thumb is to not doubt myself. If I saw barley listed as an ingredient, I would definitely question the publication with the right people before ever cooking or eating anything like that. It shouldn't matter what the recipe calls for, if there is a questionable ingredient

in there, do the research before eating. Wheat, barley and rye are pretty straight forward. I would think the more obscure ingredients that may contain a gluten component would be the ones to trip people up. Those can be downright annoying.

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions...

      Why Bananas No Longer Cure Celiac Disease

      I missed this article when it was first put up. It is interesting to read, as my old neighbour who sadly passed away a few years ago was a trainee midwife during WWII. Bananas disappeared from the shops in Britain during the war, but she told me that those that did get to the UK were kept back for infants with coeliac disease. I didn't realise that...

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease, and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with...

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important...

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important) the reference ranges for each test used to establish high/low/negative/positive. Different labs use different rating scales so this is why I ask for this. There aren't industry standards. Has your husband seen any improvement from eliminating gluten from his diet? If your husband had any positive results from his celiac blood antibody testing, this is likely what triggered the consult with a  GI doc for an endoscopy. During the endoscopy, the GI doc will likely biopsy the lining of the small bowel lining to check for the damage caused by celiac disease. This would be for confirmation of the results of the blood tests and is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. But here is some difficult information I have for you. If your husband has been gluten free already for months leading up to the endoscopy/biopsy, it will likely invalidate the biopsy and result in a false negative. Starting the gluten free diet now will allow the lining of the small bowel to begin healing and if enough healing takes place before the biopsy happens, there will be no damage to see. How far out is the endoscopy scheduled for? There still may be time for your husband to go back on gluten, what we call a "gluten challenge" to ensure valid test results.

      Are they close to a drug that will help celiacs with cross contamination

      By kate g · Posted

      Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?
