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.

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.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
