  1. Are you a member of the Christian Church, or an eccesial body? Most ecclesial bodies let their members take Communion as a rice cracker or other gluten-free grain product. However, the Catholic Church requires that the Host be under the form of unleavened wheat bread. That requirement creates certain challenges to Catholics who have celiac disease or...
  2. For guests who have celiac and acute gluten sensitivity, I'd recommend the Sensitive Baker, whose Culver City bakery is dedicated gluten-free and CF.
  3. But in Orange County, the Celiac Sprue Association (CSA) has a Open Original Shared Link as well as its Open Original Shared Link. In the spring, CDF hold its annual education conference and food faire; and in the fall, CSA's Orange County chapter also holds a food fair.

The service area lies between Burbank and San Dimas, and...
  7. Ah, but it's well worth noting that Clif Bars do contain barley malt. (I'm warning myself not to send another message like the one I sent on July 29, 2009.)
  8. A new, online support group serves communities along I-105, including Norwalk, California. In response to your request, "Stiffy," I'd like to invite you to visit, and to consider joining this group: Open Original Shared Link

  12. I would like to invite you, Nantucket, to visit and to consider joining Gluten Free Fresno, a Yahoo! discussion group at Open Original Shared Link Sincerely, Paul
  13. May I please ask if you perform a biopsy on yourself after every meal with McDonald's French fries? Regardless of the existence or nonexistence of other symptoms, there is no "individual physiology" that allows the body of anyone with celiac disease to tolerate gluten, such as that contain in McDonald's French fries: "French Fries: "Potatoes, vegetable...
  14. No, they're not: "French Fries: "Potatoes, vegetable oil (canola oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, natural beef flavor [wheat and milk derivatives]*), citric acid (preservative), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain color), salt. Prepared in vegetable oil ((may contain one of the following: Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean...

  16. I would like to invite anyone who's in the Fresno, California area with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, and who's serious about adhering to a gluten-free diet, to consider joining Gluten Free Fresno, a Yahoo! group at Open Original Shared Link.
  17. Hi, holdthegluten! I would like to invite you to join Gluten Free Fresno, a Yahoo! group at Open Original Shared Link . If for some reason you choose not to join, please feel free to visit any time. Paul
  18. But my point is that since 1950, long before today's gluten-free fad, it's been known that the gluten contained in wheat, barley, rye, and sometimes oats is what triggers celiac, which is not a rare disease.
  19. You're most welcome! I'd like to clarify my comment about the list of celiac symptoms in today's N. Y. Times article. Of course, if there's any chance a person has celiac, the person should be screened for the disease, defined as the gluten-induced destruction of the upper gut's villi--regardless of the presence or absence of any other symptoms. As I...
  20. Why, I'd be happy to! -> Open Original Shared Link
  21. Open Original Shared Link Unfortunately, the awkward-sounding name of the article is not its only problem: Well, it may be true that celiac is "most common in Caucasians and those of European ancestry" ; but it's important (for journalists and publicists) to drive home the point that this disease affects people of all wheat-eating countries: ...
  22. Open Original Shared Link (In print on Oct. 10, 2008 on p. B16 of the N. Y. edition.) Not sure if May or October is or will be Celiac Awareness Month. Actually, the country's most-underdiagnosed disease could stand to receive widespread during both months! Go, Hahn, go! Go, Winsberg, go! Our thanks also go to Huntington, who...
  23. Hey, Glueless! Since summer began, I've been looking for a physical place where a celiac support group could meet in Fresno, California. For now, we have only metaphysical places. These are two Yahoo! discussion groups (Open Original Shared Link): one is MultipleFoodAllergySupportGroup; and the other is glutenfreefresno. Whole Foods Market's corporate...
  24. How about Sweetie Cakes Company in Santa Barbara, California? (Tel.: 805.685.4662 ; web site Open Original Shared Link ) A note from Cat Wellington, Owner, Sweetie Cakes Co.: "We make amazingly delicious Organic, Fair Trade, Vegan baking mixes for people with food allergies. I started the company after I found out that I am allergic to eggs, dairy...
  25. Still on the bargain hunt in Fresno, California: Without having to consult Scott Adams's Unsafe Ingredients List (handy though it is), you may find at WinCo, Thai Kitchen Green Curry Paste, a 4-oz. bottle of which is about $3. Though unlabeled curry is certainly risky , Thai Kitchen labels this and a great many more of its products "gluten-free," which...
