    trent, I have often wondered about that myself. I have only one celiac gene. (I forget which one ot is, but it is the most common one.) Anyway, i am basically silent. Scott Adams, the head of this sight, has mentioned that he has two celiac genes. He has also written about how severe his symptoms were before diagnosis, and how baddly he reacts to accidental...

    trent, to me, the most intetesting finding of the study was the negligible difference in the small intestinal biopsy results between the cheaters and the strict adherents to the diet. The study was done with silent celiacs, who cheated because they had no gluten ingestion symptoms, and they only did this weekly, or less often. Apparently, the death rate...

    trent. I will try to send the link for a very interesting study I found about liacs who occaisionally eat gluten. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7075003/

    Thank you. That does make sense.

    Thanks, Trents. I have not really tried intentionally eating gluten since going gluten free, except for a couple of days we spent in a hurricane shelter last September. The repercussions I had then were just a few loose stools a couple of days later. The gluten effects may be worse now. (If I am going to test it, it will be on a raised, glazed doughnut...

    Thanks for that very good information! 10 mg of gluten for sure is not very much, given that an aspirin tablet contain 600 mg. I have read that one Gliadenx breaks down the amount of gluten contained in 1/8 of a slice of bread. I do take 1 or 2 of these before eating a potentially cross contaminated meal. I have sure never heard that some celiacs can...

    Sorry, this is really unrelated to this thread, but I have a question. If you need to eat that much gluten to ensure a possitive blood test, how much do you have to eat to ensure a possitive biopsy? It seems to me, if this much gluten is necessary for positive test results, why could a celiac, assuming they have no symptoms from eating gluten, not be able...

    Thanks so much for this article. I always swallow one or two Gliadinx right before I eat a gluten free meal at a restaurant. I have never had a problem.
  9. Oldturdle
    I have taken one or two Gliadinx before every meal away from home since I was diagnosed with Celiac, and swear by this stuff. It is for small amounts of cross contamination only, but still, a great relief when it allows you to enjoy gluten free restaurant meals, without concern. Incidentally, this stuff does not require a prescription. When I asked my...

    Just had lunch at the Thai Legacy Restaurant on N. Parson Blvd, in Brandon Florida. The menue had several items marked as Gluten free. I had the Traditional Pad Thai, and my husband had the egg plant stir fry. Both were excellent, and reasonably priced. Plenty left to take home for another feeding. So far, no hint of G.I. drama!

    Amy R. My only question is WHERE did you get the Glutino gluten free English muffins!? I was served one recently when having a Grand Slam breakfast at Denny's. This was absolutely the best glutin free bread product I have ever had, but they are certainly not sold at any of the big chain stores that we shop at here in Florida. Incidently, I had no reaction...

    ButWhatCanIeat, (love the name!) I understand how truly ill some people get after just a crumb or two of gluten, and when I ate gluten at the shelter for the first time in a year and a half, I certainly didn't know how I would react. Fortunately, I just had a couple of days of loose stools after I got home. To credit the Red Cross, who ran the...

    Jim, We too live in Centralish Florida, the Tampa Bay area. I have found that most liquor stores, especially the bigger ones, will order whatever beer you want, as long as you order a case. You are right, however, slim picking for off the shelf gluten free beer. Our local Publix and Winn Dixie don't carry any.

    Hutton's 16, just know that stress can activate all kinds of GI symptoms.

    Omission's gluten reduced brewery has gotten rid of their previous bottled beers, and has a whole new lineup of canned beers. (Even a couple of nonalcoholic beers. What are they even for!?) Anyway, I tried their new Ultimate Wheat Ale. What swill! For starters, it was only 95 calories, and 4% ABV, which indicates to me it is essentially water. The...

    The new Omission line includes two or three non alcoholic beers.
  17. Oldturdle
    I just found out that Omission has totally changed their product line. They will no longer be making that wonderful, full flavored, bitter, hoppy, true beer experience that was their Pale Ale. As a celiac, this was the first gluten free beer I found that didn't taste like watered down lemon juice. Omission's new line is canned, not bottled, and...

    What a story! Everyone is so different! You show some pretty strong personal evidence that it is Western gluten doing the damage! Have you had your antibodies done recently? I must say, I spoke too soon about my gluten eating experience. After being home, and gluten free for a day, I started to have intense intestinal cramping, oh so much gas...
  19. Oldturdle
    I am sorry. I don't know what a Marsch score is. My first biopsy said I had severe duodenitis, and villi blunting "consistent with Celiac Sprue." My antibody blood test was over 2,000. 3 months later, the antibodies were about 1,200. A year later, they were normal. My biopsy at this time still showed intestinal blunting, but duodenitis was not...

    Thanks Knitty Kitty. That makes a whole lot of sense. I am strictly back on my gluten free diet, and am very well aware of the consequences of untreated Ciliac disease It did taste so good, though!

    We recently had to evacuate to a pet friendly shelter during Hurricane Ian. (Thank God, we returned to a dry, intact home.) This was an incredibly stressful event, and by the time we got signed in, our dog signed in and all of settled into the shelter, we were exhausted, and starving. Three basic meals a day were provided, but of course.no effort was...

    GFMomofMany, the bread in this book looks delicious! However, I know myself to be far too lazy to go to all of the effort necessary to actually follow one of the recipes. I guess I will continue trying to find cheap and lazy gluten free shortcuts. Basically, I find most gluten free products trying to emulate yeast dough baked goods come up short. The...

    One idea, which I occaisionally use to make a regular pie crust, is to use a gluten free bisquit mix, and make a small amount of dough, using an egg and a little milk. Put this on the pizza pan, and, using your hand, press it as thin as you can get it. Put your pizza toppings on and bake. With any gluten free pizza crust, the thinner the better!

    Wow! You really know the underbelly of the beer distribution business! Very interesting...explains a lot. Glutenburg is a very good beer, but my problem with it is, at least where I live in Florida, you can only get it in big 16 ounce cans. I usually drink only one 12 oz bottle of beer when I drink beer, and even on the occaision when I would...

    Love Red Bridge! I only found it once, in a fairly large liquor store in Florida, but I agree, a real beer! It is the only gluten free beer that I have liked better than Ommision Pale Ale.
