This sounds great for all you cooks out there...

Pamela's Products announces their first ever Delicious Gluten-Free Recipe Contest. Competition is open to US residents 18 or over with an original gluten-free recipe that uses a Pamela's Products brand product. The contest runs from June 15th through August 15th, 2006. Three lucky and talented winners will each receive a beautiful new Stand Mixer or a gift certificate for up to $200 at a kitchen supply store. All qualified entrants will also receive a free gift from Pamela's Products.

Pamela's Products has defined three delectable categories for competition. The "Decadent Dessert" category is for anyone who loves to create new and innovative, rich, decadent desserts and treats. For those with a more traditional desire the "Traditional Sweet" category will explore our all time favorite sweet treats from childhood. Since we cannot live on sweets alone, the "Something Savory" category is perfect for those who want to explore varied savory delicacies.

"We are very excited to host this contest. There are a tremendous amount of people getting creative and innovative. I am inspired by the amount of delicious gluten-free foods that are out there, especially what we are seeing from the home cook. We wanted to acknowledge this amazing achievement by hosting a fun competition that would celebrate this creativity and excitement for gluten-free foods," commented Pamela Giusto-Sorrells, President and Founder of Pamela's Products.

Pamela's Products has been producing gluten-free foods for more than 18 years, with products including cookies, baking mixes and biscotti. "When I started this company, it was challenging for the home cook to create delicious foods that they wanted to eat, let alone anyone dining with them. Now I receive letters daily from excited consumers telling me how fun it is for them to share their gluten-free foods with their friends because it tastes so good. It doesn't matter anymore that it's gluten-free, it just tastes great. That is really exciting. I have always felt that food should be enjoyed," continued Giusto-Sorrells.

To enter your special recipe simply go to the Pamela's Products website at www.pamelasproducts.com between June 15th and Auguast 15th, 2006, for the contest entry form and rules. All recipes must be gluten-free and original to the entrant.

      so do you have celiac or not? 🤔 why are your vision issues undiagnosed? 😢 what does your ophthalmologist say?  do you have a serious vit A deficiency? what do you take for it? how long have you had celiac disease and how long did  it take to get a diagnosis?   if you are legally blind there are adaptive devices that will help you. I have vision difficulties as well but did not qualify (at least not yet)   do you have a vit A deficiency? why are you undiagnosed? what does your ophthalmologist say? I have a retinal specialist and he tells me my eye condition can not be fixed- until/unless it gets to the point of where surgery is safer since the surgery can leave me actually blind... so you want to wait til it gets really bad 🤪     I hope you find what works for you.    PS   the medication I started at the same time as the gluten challenge is obvious from the condition it's trying to treat. you can google it 😉 it is not an for any auto immune condition.

      @catnapt,  I apologize.  Obviously I've confused you with someone else.  I have vision problems due to undiagnosed Celiac complications.  Being legally blind, y'all look the same from here.   You still have not said which new medication you started taking.  Parathyroid disorders can affect antibody production.  Bone Loss Correlated with Parathyroid Hormone Levels in Adult Celiac Patients https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36619734/ Effect of vitamin B1 supplementation on bone turnover markers in adults: an exploratory single-arm pilot study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12075007/

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me

      @catnapt,  I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.   How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them.  Do you pressure cook your beans?  Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking?  Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production.  Do you have anemia?

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st   worst 12 days of my life   Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔
