hi,  don't mean to waste space, i'm new here, and i just want to say how thankful i am to have found this forum. coming from a pure italian background and upbringing, this craziness is freaking my whole family out...wait, you can't eat ITALIAN BREAD??? NO BUCCATINI?? lol

anyway, its nice to read posts from people that understand and accept that this is NOT a fad diet or a choice.  its a pain in the butt.  but unless you know how it feels to suffer the consequences of gluten intolerance/celiac, you don't understand what a relief it is to be gluten free.  

thanks again.

Welcome :)

It's very nice to read your post. I've been here awhile now but I'm still very thankful to have found this place and for the support and information I've received here. 

Hopefully you can still enjoy gluten free pasta. I made myself a pasta sauce a couple of days ago and loved it, can't really tell the difference any more from how pasta used to be. The bread's a different story though... !

I am working on a cheesy Italian bread that is gluten-free, -_- honestly missing it myself, and I just last month got down a bunch of pizza alternatives. Anyway there are a few companies that make gluten-free breads, and plenty of noodle substitutes for different dishes. Lundberg Makes a bunch of noodles, and various other dishes. Ian's and Udis have various dishes including ravioli, breads, etc. >.< none are as good as my mothers dishes but that is why I am trying to make my own. Where are you from by the way? If in the US I can give you plenty of links of purchasing them and where to find them. I will see about PMing you what I got on that bread recipe so far.

Open Original Shared Link.    Take a look at this site.  It's where I buy my dry pasta.  All the brands are very good........very close to real pasta.  The owner is real Italian and imports everything from Italy.  Enjoy!

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
