    Last night we made burgers on the grill. I just like mine on shredded lettuce and chopped tomato. We are very careful to keep the gluten eaters’ buns separate and drop burgers on them. This process must be done with a slow and steady hand or the dog may get the burger. ? We has some great corn on the cob and some little multi- colored potatoes I...

    I mostly just kept an eye on my cookie sheets/ oven stuff & put away as soon as possible. I may have used nail polish on the edge of a cookie sheet at the beginning. There are paints you can get at the hobby store that you bake on coffee cups or glass. Might work for a cookie sheet?

    Unfortunately, Posterboy is convinced that “ Pellegra” is a disease that causes Celiac & more diseases. And that is enough of this nonsense for me. He has this on 2 different threads going at once and has successfully made this forum about his “ theories”. People coming here for help or info on Celiac and how to eat will be chased away if all ...

    Perfect! It doesn’t say that a niacin deficiency/ Pellegra causes the malabsorption disorders or the HIV, etc.

    I know some alcoholics who are gluten free! What strange logic.

    Ok. I will indulge you - Pellagra causes Celiac , Chrohns, etc.. Now - what causes Pellagra? Is it a bacteria? A virus? An injection from an alien? I eat plenty of Niacin & am not niacin deficient - so it’s not my diet. I don’t take PPI’s like one of your “ theories”. What caused me to get this “Pellagra” that you say caused my Celiac diseas...

    Anemia is how I got diagnosed with Celiac. The nurse practitioner I saw for my annual Pap smear, etc appointment said - “ you are extremely anemic for no reason ( diet and no periods due to birth control). Get tested for Celiac”.

    I think burgers and a coffee cake is a great dinner!

    Trying to bring this thread back! We had chicken & black bean tacos tonight! I cooked chicken breast pieces ( that was on sale) with a can of fire roasted tomatoes and canned black beans and enchilada sauce in the crockpot. Great way to cook and not heat up your house!

    Actually, Italy has just as many with Celiac as anywhere else about 1% of the population. And they are advised to eat gluten-free. https://viveresenzaglutine.com/celiac-disease-in-numbers-in-italy-and-worldwide/ “....t’s estimated that in Italy the number of people suffering from celiac disease (diagnosed or not) is about 1% of the population, .....

    So, I was typing while you were! ? some of what I wrote might not apply to you. when they did your endoscopy, did they also do a colonoscopy? Did they find any other problems? It’s possible to have more than just Celiac.

    For me, I noticed an improvement in a few weeks. Just an improvement. It can take months or years to completely heal. Lots of reasons. You might accidentally still be eating gluten for a while until you get it all figured out. Your body may still make antibodies for a few weeks until It “ catches up”. You may have significantly cha...

    There is no actual “ GMO” wheat for human consumption in the US. However, many bakers/ bakeries use a special baking flour . It contains extra gluten. Somehow they can extract just the gluten proteins from some wheat and add it to the flour. It makes better bread and cake. I had heard that that isn’t popular in Europe.

    No. Once again you have missed the whole point. There is no reason for me to read stuff you google and claim is research.

    https://www.beyondceliac.org/gluten-free-diet/cross-contact/ Can I use the same oil for frying gluten-free items that was used to make gluten-containing fried foods? The short answer: No, a separate fryer must be used for gluten-free items to avoid cross-contact. An explanation: Similar to the misconception about using the same water...

    But the heat of the fryer doesn’t change the gluten protein. It’s still gluten. If it changed it somehow - then the batter would not hold together. When you fry, the temperature is around 325 -365F. When you bake pizza crust, it’s usually 450-500 ( sometimes more). The gluten isn’t destroyed in the pizza crust so it certainly isn’t destroyed at 325 de...

    If you have DH, you have Celiac. And it is from gluten. And you can developer Celiac at any time in life. Check the University of Chicago website. They have lots of good info. DH requires a strict gluten-free diet and sometimes needs a short term treatment of dapsone. If ypur our skin was actually biopsies and found to be DH, you might want...

    You didn’t say it was a rash. There is a Celiac rash called dermatitis herepetiformis. That is diagnosed by a dermatologist who takes a biopsy from the skin next to a fresh lesion. If that is positive, you have Celiac and no other testing is necessary. But the DH will not go away on a 90% gluten-free diet.
  20. kareng
    A biopsy won’t show if you have a gluten intolerance or not. It can show Celiac damage . But the damage can be spotty ( in patches) & not really visible. they could miss the spot when they biopsy. Even if you don’t have Celiac, you can be gluten intolerant. There are a variety of reasons for that, so eliminating Celiac first is the easiest ste...

    I think you need to be eating a purposeful amount of gluten. I can’t tell if you are just guessing that some is sneaking in or if you know you eat a specific gluteny food everyday. https://www.cureceliacdisease.org/faq/what-is-a-gluten-challenge/ For a gluten challenge we recommend eating 1/2 slice of bread or a cracker each day for the d...

    I find it’s different for different people and at different times in our lives and maybe even the foods eaten with the gluten. So, sorry, there is no easy answer. when I first had Celiac, I got my reaction about 6 hours later. Now , 10 years later, it seems to be more like 12 hours.

    While I understand that small case and rat studies are very important to actual researchers - people googling and reading them need to be careful about coming to conclusions and giving “ medical advice” based on them. I do not consider googling to be medical research. I think it can be helpful but it can also be confusing and sometimes dangerous whe...
  24. kareng
    The problem with the internet is certainly clear in some “ research” people post. Small case studies aren’t meant for the general public to make conclusions based on the findings. Usually, they are meant for other actual medical/ scientific researchers to see and think “ hmmm.... is this worth pursuing further? “. Or they apply to a really small segment o...

    Because? They don’t test? Most soda companies don’t test. & the lawyers tell them not to say gluten-free? That would add to the cost for everyone . On the website , I looked at ginger ale and it specifically says it contains no gluten
