Back After Many Years....

Hi everyone,

I used to be a regular on this site. I responded well to the gluten-free diet, but my doctor decided that I did not have Celiac several years ago. The stomach issues returned...as they have my whole life, EXCEPT when I was gluten-free. :rolleyes: Back on the gluten-free diet I go...

My question is this, since I'm "starting over", are there any new and wonderful products you all would share with me? I know Kinnikinnick has good items, and the company is loved by many on the site. That was my go-to company for premade items. Until I learn to cook again, I would love any input on premade "excellent" items.

Many thanks. And everyone take care.

-Julie

Hi Julie, welcome back :D

Hopefully the diet will be like riding a bike for you ;)

Some things I enjoy are--

Tinkyada Pasta

Enjoy Life Trail Mixes, Snickerdoodles, French Bread Mix, Pancake mix, Cornbread mix, Truffle Brownie Mix, Piecrust Mix

Lara Bars

Nothing new, really....I stick with what's worked for me and other than that I rely on naturally gluten-free foods.

Be sure to let us know how we can help you ease back into this. :)

Tinkyada Pasta

Gluten Free Pantry French Bread Mix (makes great pizza crusts too).

Oreo substitute: K-Toos from Kinnikinnick (sp?). I can't eat them often due to the sugar content (diabetes), but you can't tell they aren't Oreos.

I have never tried a Glutino product that I did not like.

We enjoy El Peto Italian Style Hamburger Buns. I don't know how widely available they are. The bakery is close to where we live.

I have only tried their pizza crusts, and don't like them.

Thank you all for your replies! B) I'll check out the items you all have mentioned. I'm still trying to remember what I liked better for a quick lunch...Ener-G or Kinnikinnick pizza crust. I wish I would have written it down. Sigh...live and learn, right? ;) This time, I'm writing EVERYTHING down.

I find new things every day and I have been at this for over two years now. Try some of these favorites:

Udi's bread and blueberry muffins

Grainless Baker French baguettes and hamburger buns (super)

Glutino pretzels

Pamela's chocolate chip cookies and anise/almond biscotti

Midel's ginger snaps (use to make a good cookie crumb pie crust, too)

Red Bridge beer

I could go on and on, but these are gluten-free staples with me. Most of what I eat is what I havew always cooked, just modified to be gluten-free. Most recipes are easy to fix.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @ABP2025, Here's some studies and articles that will help you learn more about thiamin and all... I will write more later. It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-testing-understanding-labs/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ and... Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/

      Being a burden to family/friends

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      Interesting you mention MCAS. I have come across mcas before but I wasn’t entirely sure if that’s what it was. When I eat certain food like dairy or soy my face gets so hot and I feel flush and my heart rate shoot’s up. And sometimes my bottom lip swells or I get hives somewhere. This started happening after I had a really bad case of Covid.  Before that I was able to eat all those things (minus gluten) I was diagnosed with celiac way before I had Covid.  Hmm, not sure really. I may look for a different allergist my current one told me to take Zyrtec and gave me an epi pen.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By Kiwifruit · Posted

      This is all really useful information, thank you so much to you both.    I have a history of B12 and vit D deficiency which has always just been treated and then ignored until it’s now again.

      9 Year Old test results - help interpret

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8! There are two main genes that have been identified as creating potential for developing celiac disease, HLDQ2 and HLDQ8. Your daughter has one of them. So, she possesses genetic the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population carries one or both of these genes but only about 1% of the general population develops celiac disease. It takes both the genetic potential and some kind of triggering stress factor (e.g., a viral infection or another prolonged health problem or an environmental factor) to "turn on" the gene or genes. Unfortunately, your daughter's doctor ordered a very minimal celiac antibody panel, the tTG-IGA and total IGA. Total IGA is not even a test per celiac disease per se but is a check for IGA deficiency. If the person being checked for celiac disease is IGA deficient, then the scores for individual IGA tests (such as the tTG-IGA) will be abnormally low and false negatives can often be the result. However, your daughter's total IGA score shows she is not IGA deficient. You should consider asking our physician for a more complete celiac panel including DGP-IGA, TTG_IGG and DGP-IGG. If she had been avoiding gluten that can also create false negative test results as valid antibody testing requires having been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks leading up to the blood draw. Do you know if the GI doc who did the upper GI took biopsies of the duodenum and the duodenum bulb to check for the damage to the small bowel lining caused by celiac disease? Having said all that, her standard blood work shows evidence of possible celiac disease because of an elevated liver enzyme (Alkaline Phosphatase) and low values for hemoglobin.

      9 Year Old test results - help interpret

      By Gill.brittany8 · Posted

      Hi everyone  After years of stomach issues being ignored by doctors, my 9 y/o daughter finally had an upper endoscopy which showed a ton of stomach inflammation. The GI doctor ordered some bloodwork and I’m attaching the results here. Part will be from the CBC and the other is celiac specific. I’m not sure what’s relevant so I’m just including extra information just in case.   The results are confusing because they say “No serological evidence of celiac disease. tTG IgA may normalize in individuals with celiac disease who maintain a gluten-free diet. Consider HLA DQ2 and DQ8 testing to rule out celiac disease.” But just a few lines down, it says DQ2 positive. Can someone help make sense of this? Thanks so much.  result images here: https://ibb.co/WFkF0fm https://ibb.co/kHvX7pC https://ibb.co/crhYp2h https://ibb.co/fGYFygQ
