I'm doing the one in B-more too! I'm team Celiac4Life (which currently only consists of myself and my Mother haha). I was actually going to post on here to see if anyone would like to (pretty please) sponsor me.

I have a bone to pick with the quiz on your website, Lauren. One of the questions is true or false: you have to have an intestinal biopsy to confirm diagnosis of celiac disease. The answer is FALSE!! The biopsy is the gold standard, but it is not the only way to diagnose celiac, nor is it required for confirmation.

Corrine, unfortunately I just saw on the site that it has been postponed until 2007. I guess that gives me time to get in shape for it. I am glad it made your daughter happy. They don't have a big selection but they had somethings and it was good.

Sorry, but that's not really "my" site - ie I didn't write that. That's the generic webpage for people who are participating in the walk, and I just added my name and a couple personal touches. I couldn't change everything though. Sorry for the confusion.

I wondered why you would put that answer! Thanks for the link, I can't do the walk, but I do want to sponsor someone. Now I just have to get my husband to say OK! (It's his money I'll be using, so I think I should clear it with him, first! :D )

hehe, yes I know better than to put that answer! I wonder who made the quiz? I actually haven't looked at it, I hope it doesn't have any other inaccuracies!

And thank you!

      This is a really common area of confusion.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Kirkland brand (at Costco) is gluten-free and is 2,000 IU.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise...

Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
