Hello all --

I'm on Day 3 of a gluten free life!! So far, so good. Spent some $$ at the store the other day for a whole new pantry of food --- and thanks to suggestions here & from my sister (celiac for 2+ years) I had an excellent dinner & breakfast!

Had Tinkyada pasta - delish! - mixed it with tomato sauce & sauteed onions, squash & zuccini, YUM, tastes like normal pasta.

Then for breakfast I had the Kinnik sesame bagel - another YUM.

Thanks all... I'm off to a good start!

I love Kinickkinick Pancake and waffle mix I even have my husband eating them, beats mixing up

two dif. bowls and fry pans. I also like their english muffins I split mine in threes. I also split the

hamburger rolls in three's. Kinickkinick bread and bun mix is really good just have to mix it with

milk and water. The first day I tried the bun mix I made 5 rolls I ate the first one with butter then

another, and another, my husband asked me if I was going to eat all and I said I might they were

so good and so easy to make< I also like the kinickkinick sandwich bread for sandwiches and their

raisen bread is great toasted. I order on line and when I get my order I put it right in the freezer. We

do not have a store near us with Gluten Free Food, the closest one takes us over an hour to get to and

then they are out of the bread I want. I also order my cereal Enviro-Kids Peanut Butter Cereal and

The Enviro-Kids Bars. on line I can get Zone Bars at Wal-Mart The Strawberry and the Chocolate Graham are the only ones gluten free. My problem is I stay hungry all the time. Does anyone else have this problem?

We LOVE Tinky pasta in our home!! But, not for spaghetti - we use the Barilla Corn Spaghetti - and it's Yum-O!!

The Kinn... Maple Donuts are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO yummy. And, I'm not even a donut lover. As far as their muffins go... who in the world would even KNOW they were gluten-free?? =) =) They are THAT good! I've had the chocolate chip and the carrot.... MmMmmmmMMM!!!

My local A&P supermarket stocks them for me. They have a whole section of gluten-free stuff in the frozen section.

I have discovered a magic trick regarding the engligh muffins. You keep them frozen, and when you want want, take it out, put it in the microwave for 50 seconds. Take it out, turn it over, and let it sit for 1 - 2 minutes. Then slice it in half, toast it, put whatever you want on it (I do ham and cheese), then microwave it again for 10 seconds.

Presto! It's magic! The best english muffin you have ever tasted, even beats the gluten crap!

I'm lucky enough to have a grocery store (Omni Foods Market) about 5 minutes from me which carries the Kinnick brand... and, regarding the muffins -- YUM, delish. Put one in the microwave for 30 seconds & ate warm... mmm, now I'm hungry.

I'm thinking about ordering the Kinnick Bagels (and probably the donuts - they sound great!) online - and just keeping in the freezer. Anyone else do that? Is there a significant cost difference?

A new find (you all probably knew about this) -- LaraBars! Especially Apple Pie! Just ordered a case - high in protein & totally natural, an excellent treat.

Happy Friday!

(will be on the lookout for Barilla corn spaghetti too - thanks!)

I found the Barilla Corn Spaghetti at a Hy-Vee Grocery Store. They are in the Midwest, but I'm not sure where else.

I buy most of my Kinnikinnick stuff at Wild Oats, but they don't stock the Maple Donuts, so I special order those once in a while. =)

I just bought the chocolate iced doughnuts (yum!) and the english muffins (haven't tried yet). Now I can't wait to get home and have an english muffin!

When you order from Kinnikinnick, doyou order straight from them or some other site? I know they have to be frozen, so I guess that is an issue with shipping?

      Toddler recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and need help understanding coeliac screening test results

      By trents · Posted

      Here is an article that gives an overview of all tests that can be used to detect celiac disease:    As you can see, the different tests vary in their degree of specificity and sensitivity. So, it is to be expected that if someone has celiac disease, not all the tests will be positive. Also notice that the tests break down into two large groups, IGA-based tests and IGG-based tests. There is also the EMA (Endomysial Antibodies) which is an older test and has largely been supplanted by he tTG-IGA which is less expensive to administer. So, when you report that the TTG score from your daughter's bloodwork is 22ku/l, we assume you are referring to the tTG-IGA test, which is the most popular test ordered by physicians when checking for celiac disease and considered to be the centerpiece test. However, you do not mention if there was a "total IGA" test run. Whenever the tTG-IGA is ordered, a total IGA should also be ordered to check for IGA deficiency. IGA deficiency will result in other IGA test scores, such as the tTG-IGA being artificially low, even falsely negative. This is especially true for young children. This is discussed in the article I linked. If your physician did not order total IGA test, this should have been done. Do you have a recourse for requesting such? I should also mention that you must not withdraw gluten from your toddler's diet until all testing for celiac disease is completed. Doing so would invalidate the testing.

      Toddler recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and need help understanding coeliac screening test results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m so sorry to hear about your toddler’s recent Type 1 diabetes diagnosis, and I understand how overwhelming it must feel to now be navigating possible celiac disease as well. The slightly elevated TTG antibodies (22 ku/L) with normal endomysial antibodies could indicate a few things—sometimes, mild elevations can occur due to factors other than celiac disease, such as recent infections or even Type 1 diabetes itself. However, the symptoms you’ve noticed (changes in stools, itching, and hair thinning) could potentially align with celiac disease, so it’s understandable why you’re concerned. Since the consultant wants to retest in 3–6 months, it may be because they’re assessing whether the antibody levels persist or increase, which would strengthen the case for further investigation (like a biopsy). In the meantime, if your daughter’s symptoms worsen or you feel uneasy waiting, it’s completely reasonable to ask for an earlier review or a referral to a pediatric gastroenterologist for further advice. Keeping a symptom diary until the next test might also help track any patterns. You’re doing a great job advocating for your little one—trust your instincts and don’t hesitate to push for more clarity if needed. Sending you lots of support.

      Toddler recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and need help understanding coeliac screening test results

      By mytype1diabetes · Posted

      Hi all, Posting from the UK.  My 2 year old was recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. In the UK they routinely screen for coeliac disease. The test showed slightly elevated levels of TTG antibodies. The consultant wants to repeat these antibodies in 3-6 months time to determine clinical significance. In our letter it said "marginally elevated TTG antibodies (22ku/l), normal endomysial antibodies". I'm not exactly sure what this means, especially given one of the tests were within the normal range, and if we should be worried about the numbers. It is difficult to know if she has any "symptoms" but at the time she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes I noticed that her stools had changed. They are now probably a Type 6 on the Bristol stool chart. She seems to be quite itchy which is a recent thing and over the past week I have noticed some hair loss/thinning. I feel very worried and I'm not sure I can wait for her to be retested in 3-6 months time.  I'd appreciate any wisdom, advice or information you have. Thanks 🙏🏼

      Glutened from hair conditioner- check your body products and makeup !

      By slkrav · Posted

      I was feeling really sick last week, for several days I kept thinking I was getting cross contamination. Typical symptoms like not sleeping well at night and waking up with widespread inflammation in all of my joints, foggy head and of course bowel issues. I had read the article recently that was talking about body products. I was starting to get depressed. I was showering and decided to read the ingredients in the products I've been using. It turns out that two of the ingredients in my conditioning hair mask contain GLUTEN. I felt really stupid for not checking before and I threw that away and also checked the ingredients of everything else I've been using. I've heard of skin issues from gluten containing body products, but this opens up a whole new way if being proactive.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I haven't taken blood test for deficiencies yet since self diagnosed but I started a Multi vitamin from reading consumerlabs Nature Made Multivitamin For Her 50+ with No Iron, Womens Multivitamin for Daily Nutritional Support, Multivitamin is actually good for men compared to the mens version since im 47 I figured this should be ok. I also just started taking Kirkland Signature Super B-Complex with Electrolytes which consumerlabs which is an independent lab that tests what is actually in it states this is a good balanced B complex vitamin where its not too much of any vitamin for you to take.  I was thinking of taking the Gluten test after the summer  ut I think if I reintroduce gluten for this test I will be so sick and make things worse. I heard there is a blood test coming in a year that they add gluten to the blood to test which would be nice but prob in a year or 2.
