I keep forgetting if ricotta cheese is safe or not. The only brands I can find in our Stop & Shop is Dragone and Stop & Shop brand. Could someone refresh my memory please?!!!

Thanks

I don't know if the stop & shop brand is safe, but ricotta cheese in general should be fine. Obviously, you need to check each brand because sometimes funny things get added where they shouldn't be.

Does s&s have a gluten free list? I go to Publix and they sent me a list of all their store brands that are gluten-free. It saves a lot of money when I can buy those things.

The only thing I wonder about in ricotta is the vinegar they use to curdle it, because it usually doesn't say distilled vinegar. After pondering numerous threads about vinegar on this website I decided to chance the major brands that list vinegar as an ingredient, and so far so good. I think I used Sorrento and maybe Shop Rite brands. You can look up the website for the makers and see if they will tell you, but I haven't had much luck with that. I did find some ricotta at Whole Foods that said gluten-free on the label, but it was about $6/pound (good old Whole Foods) so I don't think I'm going to be using that for lasagna and gnocchi at my house.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

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

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
