Oklahoma Firm Recalls Center Cut Steaks Due to Misbranding and Undeclared Wheat
Chef’s Requested Foods, Inc., an Oklahoma City, Okla., establishment is recalling approximately 875 pounds of center cut steaks because the packages actually contain turkey filets. The turkey filets contain the allergens wheat and soy, and the center cut steak labels do not list wheat as an ingredient, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The product subject to recall includes: 10-oz. plastic double cup packages of “Chef’s Requested CE
Highlights of 2 months GF life
Almost 2 months of GF and here are some highlights. I’m finding it hard to tell if being GF is helping. I had a sinus infection when I began my GF diet, and now have had one for almost 3 weeks (thought it was a migraine for the first week). I believe my body is reacting to the nasty antibiotics and my mind is more focused on fighting off the discomfort than appreciating any benefits GF might be providing. Unfortunately, I can’t separate the discomfort from fibromyalgia, sinuses/migraines, an
Prolab Proactively Recalls Some Protein Products in Order to Correct Labeling for Items That May Have Undeclared Wheat and Gluten
PROLAB NUTRITION INC. (PROLAB) is recalling some of its protein items that may contain undeclared milk, wheat and gluten allergens. People with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk and/or wheat and gluten allergens may run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume products containing these allergens. For this reason, below is a list of the protein products that PROLAB is proactively recalling, although no illnesses or discomfort has been reported to date: PCeliac Remission
When I saw Marku Makki talk, he spoke about desensitization and spontaneous remission in some celiacs. He has seen it in his decades of practice. It's in one of his articles but I can't seem to turn it up. I did find some other stuff for you. I don't know whether the Gut links will work for you because I have an academic affiliation that allows me to see research articles but I copied the conclusions. Desensitization.

Sick And Tired
This is my first blog, not really sure how this works, and i know i am terrible at spelling but here it goes. I went into a "gluten free" resturaunt and asked about cross contamination and i was told "if i actually have celiac disease that i shouldnt eat there". Apparently alot of "gluten free" resturaunts today are for people on a gluten free diet trying to loose weight. It is extreamly frustrating when every time all my friends go out to eat i have to sit without food and watch every one else
Spouse Does Not Understand
I do not have Celiac but I am gluten intolerant. I am also diabetic so I need to avoid excess sugars. The problem is my husband, who is wonderful, does not understand gluten intolerance and though I have tried to explain the importance of how I eat, he keeps asking me to go out for Pizza or to Burger King and places like that. He is a junk food junkie. I feel guilty because I keep having to say no. I want to go out with him but to places that I can eat healthy. I know he does not mea
Who's Frustrated? Oh Wait...that's Me....
If I really am honest, I began this journey years ago as a kid always overweight not understanding why. Finally was able to lose the weight in college actually through eliminating gluten, just not realizing it. Fast forward to two years ago. Gained the weight back...stubborn acne and still suffering from stomach issues. Gyno tests my hormones-they're normal. Then tests for PCOS-comes back negative. I so badly want to figure out what the heck is wrong with me-I'm successful in every other ar
M & P Food Productions, Ltd. Issues Allergy Alert on Several Varieties of Vareniki/ Dumplings Because of Undeclared Wheat
M & P Food Productions, LTD. of Brooklyn, NY is recalling several varieties of Vareniki/Dumplings because it was discovered that the products contain undeclared Milk and Wheat, therefore posing a potential health hazard. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to these allergens run the risk of illness or serious or potentially fatal allergic reaction if they consume these products. The ingredients statement of the products did not declare the presence of milk or wheat. As a resultFrom: Tell Me About "gluten Defense" Pills
The enzyme in all the so-called gluten pills is DPP-IV. It is NOT one of the enzymes in clinical trials and it will not detoxify gluten. It does not cleave internal di-prolines, which are what cause problems digesting gluten in the first place. DPP-IV only works on prolines at the ends of peptides. These companies are lying, using the FDA dietary supplement loopholes. Most of the pills are enzyme mixes. Celiacs tend to have reduced pancreatic activity, so a lot of people find the "glutenTheir Normal Finally!
Celebrating the small stuff again today. My ankles look normal for the first time since coming to the Caribbean. So excited!!!! Now I just have to keep them this way. My biggest tell tell when I get into gluten is my ankles instantly swell like crazy. Which is followed by fatigue and depending how much I got into what feels like the flu. Today is day three out of the fog of my last reaction. I know it is bound to happen again...but enjoying for the moment the energy and feeling of being almost n
How it all started...AKA...In the beginning
How it all started Overwhelmed. ..anxious. ..excited…and a gamut of other emotions are what I felt that day. Did I hear this new doctor right? He left the exam room stating “wait here, I think I have something that might help you.” I was out-of-town for a week when I started with sinus problems on the second day there. I was in a familiar town, had a former doctor there, but chose to visit a walk-in clinic hoping to be in and out of there quickly. I knew that going to my former doctor mThe Beginning Of Me Taking Charge
It has been a long road to this season of my life. The journey thus far has been wrought with what seemed like bad luck, but really just a string of now explainable events. Gluten has been, behind the scenes, controlling my life. Now it is my turn to take charge, and this blog is how I am going to do it. I recently moved to the Caribbean for medical school, three week prior I solved the puzzle, and my doctor confirmed it. I have Celiac Disease. At first it was oh I can do this no bread or wOur Story
I found out I was pregnant with my 2nd child in Feb of 2005 because I was having serious pain and bleeding that I should not have been having. A trip to the ER and I was informed that I was pregnant, probably by only a couple of weeks, however, with an ultra sound they were unable to locate the baby in the uterus and the Dr. believed I had a tubal pregnancy. I was told that I should let them give me a medication that would end the pregnancy immediately and allow them to perform surgery. I refuse
According to the GIG Jenny's Bakehouse Products May Not Be Gluten-Free
This just in from Frances Kelley, Austin Chair, GIG of Central and South Texas, via the Celiac Listserv:2 Weeks In.......
Ok, so I received the phone call from my Dr. on 8/31/11 telling me that I have Celiac Disease, and I need to start a gluten-free diet immediately......so I did that. I had no idea where to begin, but luckily my hubby was supportive, and did alot of research. So,fast forward to today-2 weeks in. I have been experiencing symptoms that I would think are like detox or withdrawl symptoms.....I thought this was supposed to make me feel better. I left work early yesterday because I was so nauseous an
Celiac Awareness Day
Today is September 13th, 2011. Celiac awareness day! Why is it so important to have such a day? Because without awareness we have no voice, we will never have a cure, we will constantly suffer from mislabeled foods, accidental gluten intake, and cross contamination. I have compiled some great links for everyone to read over, that are chock full of statistics. The saddest one is that 1 in every 22 people have this disease if someone in their family has it, and 1 in 133 people without a family

I just found out that Open Original Shared Link will be coming to stores soon! AAARG! Usually I keep a cool head about things (BWAH!) But this is just unfair! Who among us hasn't laughed hysterically at that skit? It is the best! A true classic! And we don't get any. We all know about my love of Ice cream. I adore ice cream, I would marry ice cream, I devour ice cream, and lately all I can tolerate is stupid dumb vanilla soy ice cream. Pffft, that's not ice cream!

Day 1
I am not diagnosed [yet] but I have good instincts, I am reasonably intelligent and have a pretty good idea of what is going on with my body. If it is as simple as modifying my diet, I can do that. I had to do it when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes almost 7 years ago. I can do it again. I don't have a passionate love affair with food. I have some favorites, but I will happily [read: begrudgingly] give them up if I must. If I have to give up certain foods I will do it. especially if i
Winn-Dixie Issues Recall On ‘Winn-Dixie Choco Charm Chocolate Drink’ Due to Undeclared Wheat
Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc., (NASDAQ: WINN) is voluntarily recalling “Winn-Dixie Choco Charm Chocolate Drink” from its in-store dairy departments because the product may be mislabeled and may contain the undeclared allergen of wheat. Individuals sensitive to wheat protein can suffer a moderate-acute allergic reaction. Sold in the dairy department of Winn-Dixie and SaveRite stores, the “Winn-Dixie Choco Charm Chocolate Drink” features a 128 oz. (one gallon) clear plastic bottle with a yellow bottleSo Unfair
Our lives revolve around food. The selection of ingredients, the preparation, the clean up, these activities take up a large portion of our everyday lives. Our very survival depends on our food intake. For those of us with food allergies, thoughts of food become almost compulsive. We can't eat this, can't eat that, can't eat there! See this, want that, can't have it. So we obsess and plan and hoard our gluten free products with rabid looks in our eyes. Luckily, we live in a world where, for m-

Yes, I have one of the older models and have tested many products with it. For me it seems like a valuable tool and I have used it to test foods that I eat regularly, which are naturally gluten-free, for example salsa, refried beans, etc.

Has anyone tried the NIMA gluten detector? I'm seriously thinking of investing in one. I haven't eaten out at a restaurant since my late diagnosis 4 years ago (I'm 55 in March) Any information would be greatly appreciated
