I am not only pleased with the article, but I was surprised to see that there is another store in Fresno that apparently carries gluten-free foods. I already shop at Whole Foods and Trader Joes, but I had never heard of Tower Health & Diet Foods. I'll have to look for it. Any new resource is a good thing.

The article also included recipes for gluten-free chocolate fudge cake, Rustic flat bread (focaccia), French-Italian bread, Apple pie with crumb topping, Traditional pie crust, and 2 gluten-free flour blends, all taken from a gluten-free cookbook called "Gluten-Free Baking Classics" by Annalise G. Roberts (Surrey Books, $16.95).

Has anyone heard of this cookbook before? I haven't, and I am wondering if it is worth trying it out. If you have heard of it, please tell us your comments. I am curious.

I just read it too! It's a good article, although in one little sideline she DOES say Celiacs are "allergic" to gluten...

I have written to this food writer in the past, about a restaurant that was closing and my opinion as to why (the ridiculous prices), and in our correspondence mentioned that I was Celiac and didn't eat out much any more......she said at that time (months ago) she was considering doing an article on Celiac Disease and would consult me.....but she did not, so I am STILL not famous! :o

Thanks for posting the article gf4life. Can you tell me what you like from Trader Joes? There is one opening here soon (or it already did) and I'd like to know what they have that's really good in terms of gluten free items like various mixes and such.

Dingogirl, I have to admit that I have used the "allergic" to gluten phrase myself quite often. People understand allergy, but have no clue about intolerance other than lactose intolerance and it is NOT the same thing. When I say gluten intolerance they always respond with, "well can't you just take a pill for that"...But if I say allergy, then they seem to realise it is serious. Occasionally I will run into someone who wants more information and then I will explain the whole thing about the intestinal damage, etc.

Floridanative, sorry there aren't any mixes available at Trader Joes that I know of. I mostly buy Blue Diamond Almond Breeze (much cheaper there), frozen microwavable brown rice packets (very handy for quick meals) wheat-free gluten-free toaster waffles for my kids (not soy-free so none for me!), there are a few gluten-free cereal choices, and I love their Basil Marinara sauce. They have gluten free lists available on their website, but they are different for west coast and east coast, so you would have to go there and print one out. Or you can usually pick up a gluten free list at the store. Usually they have some available in a display case.

Hi Mariann, yes, I too use the term allergy in casual conversation.....you're right, it is much easier! BUT...I HAVE written a letter to the editor to the Bee, to point out that error, but also to commend them on the article and getting the word out. I was so excited to see it!

I love Trader JOe's.....There is wonderful sausage there - Cantella's Cilantro/Bell Pepper - not cheap but really good. I think the other Cantella's are gluten-free as well. The Colombo (or is it Columbus?) meats are gluten-free. I eat their brown rice pastas also, alas, I have never had Tinkyada which everyone seems to love so can't compare. All the cheeses (check the list in the back of the store) are gluten-free.....dairy....a fantastic Vanilla ice cream....Double Rainbow, I think? The Savory Thins crackers are a staple in my house. the black bean enchiladas and the chicken and also the black bean taquitos (frozen section) are gluten-free. Lots of frozen veggies, good in a pinch. There is a smoked salmon I love there, with cracked bell pepper. Put that with some cream cheese and red onions on a Savory Thin - quite good. Also try the Veggie Chips, and the Flax Seed corn chips....the black bean corn chips....oh and the pot roast, in the refrigerator section....you can microwave it and it's SO tender and good.

Can't think what else.....

I haven't been around for a while however, I too read the article in the Fresno Bee and took my Celiac DD to the Doc that was talked about in the aritcle. (Paul Hanchett is our Doc too Dingo Girl, small world). Anyway, Dr. Judy Davis has the Bravo ph Monitor and did the test on her. It was so cool! I think all the Fresno and Fresno area people should get together for coffee/tea sometime. ZimmiZ

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
