I recently purchased the paesano pizza oven. I have not tried to make gluten-free Pizza in there yet but was hoping others may have tried. Thanks

Bloodwork Finally Normal After 5 years but Villi slightly Blunted
-
I did eat out about a week before my testing (all dedicated kitchen). I just find it discouraging since it took me 5 years to drop my numbers way down to normal range to find out that I have "Partially developed sprue". I guess bloodwork is not a guarantee that you are safe.

After 5 years on a Gluten Free Diet my bloodwork is finally normal. I am a 65 year old male and maybe my age had something to do with the long recovery. However, I had a colposcopy and endoscopy last week and they took biopsies of my villi. The results show "Partially developed sprue". I am puzzled. Does this mean that I am not really healed and...

Good Morning, I decided to start enjoying some drinks that I have been staying from - like red wine. I have been gluten-free for 5 years now and feel great and my blood work is finally normal. This last week I started having a glass of red wine. I love it. No reaction. I was wondering if anyone has any opinion on drinking wine. I saw some old post but...

My wife and I will be traveling to the Grand Canyon this September from Michigan. Yes, I know that gas prices are going to be costly. I searched this forum for suggestions on where to stay and eat but lot of the information is outdated. I hope I can get some current tips on where to eat and stay during these crazy times. My wife and I want to stay visit...

Yes, I did increased my fiber intake and maybe that was the issue. Now I am avoiding any fiber and I feel better but I guess I better watch it so I don't get the reverse effect of lack of fiber...if you know what I mean. We really need to have a balance diet and not overload on fiber. I eat nuts every morning with lots of fruit. I am slowing bringing back...

When is it time to contact Doctor about Stomach Issue
-
Thanks Scott. I should of been more clear on the hamburger and fries. The buns I baked myself and the fries I baked potatoes in the oven. The beef was grass fed beef from Aldi's (great deal). I never eat out. It has been two days and I feel much better on a bland diet. Now I do not know if it was something I ate or something like a stomach flu. We shall see...

I have stopped taking my statin but that did not help. I am now doing an elimination diet and I think I might know but not sure. I make my own granola (all nuts from nuts.com gluten-free except pecans from Fisher) with almonds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, pecans (Fisher Pecan - this is new) and coconut flakes with maple syrup for sweetener. I have been eating...

It has been 12 days now and I have been experiencing abdominal cramps with D. This has never happened to me. I have been gluten-free for almost 2.5 years and was an asymptomatic Celiac. I do not know what to do. I have eliminated many foods and last night I thought I was getting a little better so I had a burger and fries. This morning out of the blue...

Intermittent Abdominal Cramps for Five Days!

I just realized that I have been sprinkling chia seeds on my granola and toast every morning. Could this be the issue? -
Causes of Constipation and Flaxseeds
vvicin02 replied to vvicin02's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I have been sprinkling a little chia seeds (from costco) on my toast and granola the last week or so. I have noticed that it does improve constipation but I am experiencing stomach discomfort throughout the day. Is this possibly due to the chia seeds? Should I soak them or maybe I just cannot tolerate the fiber? I am only consuming no more than a 1/4 tsp... -
I have been gluten-free for almost 2.5 years and have hardly ever experienced any abdominal pain from cross contamination or intestinal flu. However, for 5 days now, I have experience intermittent abdominal pain with occasional trips to the bathroom. I have tried to eliminate certain foods which did not help. I am at my wits end. I feel perfectly fine with...

I am experiencing a very similar situation with my bloodwork. Two years ago my Tissue Transglutaminase IgA was 193. After two years it went down to 55. I was very disappointed since I never go out to eat and I prepare my own food. My wife is not gluten-free so there is a chance of some cross contamination. I feel your frustration. I agree with cyclinglady...

We are thinking about making Boneless Turkey Breast for Thanksgiving this year. Any suggestions of safe gluten-free turkey breast. I know I have seen some of the popular brands (Butterball) state gluten-free but I thought I would hear from folks who have personally tried some brands.
-
Scott - I never eat out. I make my own food. That is what concerns me. However, I think cyclinglady is onto something. I have been on GFD for two years and I feel good. My numbers are improving but not perfect - I think I can live with that. My Doctor said you cannot chase these numbers because you will go nuts. I think I am going to cool it with the blood...
