Hi From Australia And Where Can I


ALFO

Recommended Posts

ALFO Newbie

Hello all :)

I have just moved to Sydney from London and am starting a Tea House with an edge!

This is not going to be all lace and quaint but a modern move to Tea drinking.

The reason for this post is that we are focusing on baked goods and meals that are Celiac friendly (I have an intolerance but nothing too serious myself!)

Baking at home is great, you have the time to make great pastry but in a Tea House - different story.

Can anyone recommend a company that makes 'Tart Shells'? I have suppliers for lots of wheat stuff but not one that does Gluten Free. I only really want the shells as we will be filling them ourselves!

Cheer

Hi! I'm moving from San Diego to Sydney in July and I can't wait to check out your Tea House!

Hey Alfo, it's a while since your post so I may be way too late to answer your query.

Nevertheless, here goes. Basco products are great for coeliacs - check with the Open Original Shared Link for wholesale outlets etc and for other products that might suit. You could also list yourself with them as a gluten-free eating spot.

I hope your Tea House has green tea, macaroons, amarettos, almond-meal friands....where are you? I'd love to visit!

Try a gourmet a market, I saw shells in my local one the other day.

I applaud you, most places seem to think that the only two gluten free cakes on the planet are orange and almond and the Jaffa one!

      If your tTg-IgA was 28 and positive is at 3, you are nearly 10x over the positive marker, so the most likely explanation by far would be celiac disease. I also do not understand why your doctor would not want to run the blood test, which is the normal first step in the diagnosis process.

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352
