Gluten-Free Shoppers Report Food Scarcity and Soaring Prices
JazzyJake commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Additional Concerns
Very disappointing here in Lower Delaware: The gluten-free sections in supermarkets have been steadily shrinking for the last couple years. I used to have plentiful options, but now have to hit multiple stores hoping for options. Especially bad is when favorite products just disappear never to be seen again. The 2 nearest supermarkets now no longer... -
Are Gastroenterologists too Slow to Spot Celiac Disease?
JazzyJake commented on Scott Adams's article in Diagnosis, Testing & Treatment
I had 3 endoscopies (because of GERD) in which the gastroenterologists did not take a biopsy for Celiac while down there. Nor did they check the blood markers, as far as I know.

How Much Gluten Does an Average Celiac Patient Accidentally Consume?
JazzyJake commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Additional Concerns
I wonder how much is contamination from “facilities that also process wheat”. I hate that warning on products that should naturally have no gluten. gluten-free trail mix is especially hard to find in my area, which is ridiculous. -
mbrookes, Try Magner's Irish Cider. It is much drier - less sweet and cloying - than the American hard ciders. I find the American ciders too sweet to drink too.

A beer snob and recently diagnosed celiac, I can report that the only tolerable Gluten-free beer has been the Green's Amber. The Dogfishhead "Tweasons" is an OK drink, but tastes nothing like beer. The rest have been awful. Rice and sorghum do not a good beer make. I'm not sure if I trust Omission, so I've steered clear for now. The good news is that...
