Hi All:

It has been awhile since I have posted. My father turns 84 today and he is doing better. Thanks to you all for your help and suggestions. It was a struggle but we came through!

My father loves his snacks and we tried every cookie there is and he does not like any of them.

My sisters roommate has been making him brownies and for Thxgv made him his own apple pie.

That is too much to ask a person to do and unfortumately I don't bake, I was just wondering if anyone knew of a cake or pie or some type of snack that I night be able to buy.

Thanks again and Take Care!

Hi Micky,

I remember you! I'm so happy to hear that your dad is doing better--and may I wish him a very Happy Birthday! :)

I don't remember--do you have a Whole Foods nearby? They have their own line of ready-made desserts and breads. They are very good--cookies, quick breads, pies, muffins and biscuits. They also freeze well.

Could you manage to put together a mix? The Gluten Free Pantry makes an excellent brownie mix that is fast to mix up and bake.

Also, did you check The Gluten Free Mall that is on this site? They have many brands to choose from--lots of ready-made desserts and things.

Hope you find something he likes :)

Hi Patty:

Thx for repliyng. Yes we have a Whole Foods right down the street from my work.

I will run in on my lunch and check out their goodies. I have been in it before, but just for quick things, I didn't really take the time to check out all their products.

I will pass on your birthday wish to my dad

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Open Original Shared Link donuts are really good and I've heard their muffins and cinnamon buns are excellent as well.

Unless you know your sister's roommate to be extraordinarily busy, reconsider asking her. I know, as someone who loves to cook, I would be honored to be asked to help out in such a situation.

Thank is so nice that someone would do gluten-free baking for your Dad...A true friend indeed.... By mailorder there are many places you can get sweets from: Deby's , Denver: Grandma Ferdon's , Hayward,Ia. :Celiac Specialities, Michigan.And many more....Kathy's Creations , Ohio. These are a few of my favorites.....

Ask where they keep their own baker's gluten-free stuff. One whole foods I went to kept it in a freezer in the freezer section. One kept moving it .. I think it was in a different place each time I went :lol: .... the one I go to now has them (thawed) on a rack in the bakery section, but they happily get me a frozen whatever from the back when I ask. They all come to the store frozen. At times they have: Banana bread, mini-apple and pecan pies; ginger, chocolate chip, and peanut butter cookies, brownies, scones, biscuits, bread and more.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.  
    • catnapt
      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding.   I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th   I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it.

      What Thiamine Hydrochloride brand do you take? Is it like the other vitamins I have added? What brand Tryptophan and amount do you take. Thanks
