HI

First time to try to send a link.

Thought this was great.

I have been writing them for a 'celiac' dish in the food cart for us after we shop.

They said they would have some soups for us and microwave for us to heat it up.

Not like the 'rest of the world---I'll take one of those please...' but it's a start....

I'll take it.

Now if the link works.

Celiac Meal of the Week:

Enjoy our Spicy Red Lentil Soup with a side of sliced mango. Now that it's individually packaged (prepared foods case), this and three other fresh soups, carry the gluten free wellness key. Caution -- the hot kettle soups with the same names are NOT gluten or wheat free.

Open Original Shared Link

Ok I got the email adress but not the address for the mailer I got. Guess you have to sign up for the newsletter flyer but it's a start... :blink: If anyone else gets the flyer maybe you can post it for us as a direst link..

Thanks for the link, Judy. Our Wegmans here in Moorestown was supposed to open sometime in January, now we hear it will be March :angry:

We too are getting a Wegmans soon and I can't wait. I grew up having one in Scranton and missed it when I moved away. So for the time being I just drive to that one to get stuff. They label their products well too and provide the list of their Gluten Free products. I appreciate what they do to help us.

Another thing I noticed at Wegmans this weekend. I was checking their brand of cereals just to see the difference in ingreidents. Well their corn pops, or corn puffs as they called them listed NO WHEAT. I was excited and then I saw big signs posted all over their shelves, their manufacturing facility has switched ingreidents and now are using wheat. I guess some of the boxes didn't list that. Well the note said for our Celiac Customers or indivuduals with wheat allergies, please note our Corn Puffs cereal is now containing wheat, even though it may not be listed on the packages yet it is going into effect. Although I was disappointed to see they are using wheat I am glad they are advising their customers. I checked the gluten free product list on the net they provide for their products and sure enough they already deleted that and their cocoa pebbles, not sure what they call them.

Even though we can no longer eat the cereal I am happy they look out for us. Some food places don't even try. This store really does alot for it's celiac shoppers and in November they were honored by a Celiac organization for their work. Go Wegmans!!!

Thank you so much for your post.

Would you mind if I sent your post to TJ?

This is what my Dr Lilian and I thought they should be doing at TJ's since (on another post from Berneses)

they are,unlike Wegmans, not changing their web site or hand outs taking off the wheat changed brands and aren't even putting up a sign. We think they should at LEAST put the sign up.

Would you care if i did this. I'm calling tomorrow as I didn't get the job done today as planned.

Took a nap instead :lol:

THANKS SO MUCH for your post.

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.
