Hi. My name is Doug. Many of you know my wife, Monica, who owns Deby's Gluten Free Bakery and Cafe in Denver, Colorado. I believe her login name is Deby.

Anyway, today, in the Rocky Mountain News, we got a write up of the restaurant, including a recipe for gluten free Bacon Cheddar Stuffing.

Thanks, all, and happy eating!

If we did, I would at leastt be able to watch my Jets more. I've been a Jets fan since 1981.

Oh, wait, they are 2-9. Nah! :D

I have been getting Deby's items for the past few months at my local gluten-free store. I love her products!!! I have a three year old who has celiac and sometimes it id difficult to find items he will like and not have to pay an arm and leg for. Deby's products are priced reasonably so it okay to try them out. So far he has liked...chicken nuggets, chicken soup, dinner roll, pig in a blanket, and white bread.

We tried the pecan pie, cookie dough, biscuits, and stuffing mix. My son did not like them, but my husband and I who are not gluten-free enjoyed all of them.

My only suggestion is we need a more inexpensive waffle cone!

Hey! I live in Denver and have been to Debys once and their gluten-free Pizza is fantastic as well as their gluten-free Breads and other items, had a gluten-free Chicken cordon blue which was superb with rissoto. Only problem is I live off of colfax andDebys is clear down south, wayyyy down south. :( Otherwise I would have gone back more often, especially since they have a restaurant thats 100% gluten-free!

Well it keeps getting better!!

As of January, we will be in ALL 18 Vitamin Cottage stores in Colorado, 7 Whole Foods stores, AND they are putting in a proposal to get us into King Soopers (One of the big 3 chain stores all over the state. We live right by store #69, to give you an idea). Also, we are very close to getting into all 12 Sunflower Market Stores (we are already in one).

I've heard great things about your pizzas from Mrs. Ford. She works at the prison here inSterling. I only wish it wasn't so expensive to get your products shipped here. Sterling Health Foods is considering carrying your products, but that doesn't sound too promising. My son 18, was diagnosed with celiac disease after 7 years and we are feeling the pains of trying to buy good tasting, gluten free foods. Whole Foods carries some things, but again they are located between 100 and 150 miles from us. If you ever have any tips on baking a simple banana bread gluten free, [please let me know. I have no ideas how to begin to bake gluten free. Thanks,Keep up the good work:> B)

Hi and I am very excited about your products, but for a different reason. My daughter attends CU in Boulder and we have had a very difficult first semester, trying to get safe food for her to eat on campus. But thanks to the diligence and devotion of some very wonderful parents and community members, your store is providing gluten-free meals for the handful of celiacs on campus. That's right!! What a blessing to know that my daughter can go in and eat and not worry about ingredients, contamination, etc. Thank you so much for providing this service!

I've made a pretty good banana bread from scratch. Honestly, when I bake, i just modify gluten recipes. So, in my better homes and garden book, I take their recipe, and replace the flours, and a tsp of zanthan gum to make it all gluten like. LOL

My usual flour combo is with rice flour/tapioca flour/potato starch.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
