I have recently been diagnosed with gluten sensitivity and I just purchased this pizza. Thank you for doing an article on this brand.  I am still learning what I can safely eat. I noticed you published something on gluten and neuropathy.  On September 1st. I had an episode where my lips and the fingers on my right hand were tingling. It lasedt about 30 minutes. I still get numbness now and then in my lips and tongue and a couple of my fingers on my right hand. Do you think this could be what I am dealing with? My doctor ordered an MRI and Cat scan. Both came back normal. I never thought to tell him about the gluten sensitivity. Thanks for all you do to monitor this site.

But you do not have celiac disease, correct?

No, my nutritionist said I have gluten sensitivity.

How were you diagnosed with gluten sensitivity? Really, the only reliable way to arrive at that diagnosis is to first rule out celiac disease through testing designed to detect celiac disease. Many of the symptoms between the two are essentially the same. Testing for celiac disease can be done in one or two ways or both. The first way involves a blood draw looking for elevated antibodies that are produced from the damage celiac disease does to the small bowel lining. The other way is to have an endoscopy done with biopsy of the small bowel lining. The biopsy is sent to a lab for microscopic examination of the "villi" that line the small bowel. Celiac disease damages the villi whereas gluten sensitivity does not. I would not trust a nutritionist to make that call.

I had an IGga test, which involved blood. It showed sensitivity to gluten, legumes, soy, yeast etc. I have always had a problem with dairy.  I also did a breath test for bacteria. I'm realizing I really have to do my detective work. Even though something says gluten free, it still can have yeast, soy and other ingredients that I am sensitive to. I had some Progresso gluten free soup and had a real problem with gas afterwards, then I read the other ingredients and knew why! I am 73 yrs. old and this has been a challenge for me. Is it common to discover these things later in life? I live in New England and we had power outages yesterday. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.

IGga test? Do you mean IGG?

Pilgrimgirl,

You really need to get screened for celiac disease with tests that are specifically for celiac disease. You need to get several IGA tests run. Sounds like you got allergy/food sensitivity testing done but not celiac disease testing. Do you understand there is a difference between gluten sensitivity and celiac disease even though both involve a reaction to gluten?Here's a primer: https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/screening-and-diagnosis/screening/

      New Study Finds 1 in 10 Celiac Patients May Have Additional Autoimmune Disorders (+Video)

      Kinda glad I read this and some related materials. My celiac symptoms seem mild and I sometimes question if the hassle of the gluten-free diet/lifestyle is worth it for mild symptoms. This is one of the answers to that. gluten-free diet can delay onset/progression of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome, but cannot reverse it.

      Interesting I read that toasted kasha groats have nutty flavor which I thought like oatmeal with banana and yogurt. Yes quinoa I have for dinner looking to switch oatmeal to buckwheat for breakfast. I have to look into amaranth

      I've never tried bananas or yogurt with kasha. It would probably work but in my mind I think of kasha as being on the savory side so I always add butter, peanut butter, or shredded cheddar cheese. Next time I make it I will try yogurt and banana to see for myself. Amaranth has a touch of sweet and I like to pair it with fruit. Quinoa is more neutral. I eat...

      The basic seems more like oatmeal. You can also add yogurt banana to it like oatmeal right. I see rinsing as first step in basic recipes like this one https://busycooks.com/how-to-cook-toasted-buckwheat-groats-kasha/ I don't understand why since kasha is toasted and not raw. What about buckwheat flake cereal or is this better to go with.

It would probably work but in my mind I think of kasha as being on the savory side so I always add butter, peanut butter, or shredded cheddar cheese. Next time I make it I will try yogurt and banana to see for myself. Amaranth has a touch of sweet and I like to pair it with fruit. Quinoa is more neutral. I eat it plain, like rice, with chicken stock or other savory things, or with coconut milk. Since coconut milk works, I would think yogurt would work (with the quinoa). I went to the link you posted. I really don't know why they rinse the kasha. I've eaten it for decades and never rinsed it. Other than that, her recipe seems fine (that is, add the buckwheat with the water, rather than wait until the water is boiling). She does say something that I forgot: you want to get roasted/toasted buckwheat or you will need to toast it yourself. I've never tried buckwheat flakes. One potential issue with flakes is that there are more processing steps and as a rule of thumb, every processing step is another opportunity for cross-contamination. I have tried something that was a finer grind of the buckwheat than the whole/coarse and I didn't like it as much. But, maybe that was simply because it wasn't "normal" to me, I don't know.

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Celiac disease can have neurological associations, but the better-described ones include gluten ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, headaches or migraine, seizures, cognitive symptoms, and, rarely, cerebral calcifications or white-matter changes. Some studies and case reports describe brain white-matter lesions in people with celiac disease, but these are not specific to celiac disease and can have many other explanations. A frontal lobe lesion could mean many different things depending on the exact wording of the report: a white-matter spot, inflammation, demyelination, a small old stroke, migraine-related change, infection, trauma, vascular change, seizure-related change, tumor-like lesion, artifact, or something that resolved on repeat imaging. The word “transient” usually means it changed or disappeared, which can happen with some inflammatory, seizure-related, migraine-related, vascular, or imaging-artifact situations.  Hopefully they will find nothing serious.
