Ah I can not believe my eyes..... :rolleyes:

I went to super target ... ( and my local publix ) and I found the pamelas mixes ..... kinniknick .. bobs ... gluten free pasta noodles.... The stuff seems cheaper than at whole foods.... But I am in shock ..... there were cake mixes ... and brownie mixes... all gluten free.

I just wanted to share..... I think its great. maybe by the time my toddler is 10 .... gluten free will start to become a mainstream consideration... that is a big step to have all that stuff at super target and publix..... I am just suprised..... happy but suprised.

it IS great to see them in so many places! It is so much more mainstream even from 2.5 years ago when I was dx'ed.

I work at a Star market , part of Albertsons. There are more and more people buying gluten-free products and as that number increases the choices of items are growing. I worked in a smaller store for years, and they had pasta , cookies, flour ,xanthum gum and a lot of basics, I was transfered to a larger store and can buy frozen pizza dough, english muffins and a lot more stuff. Every month or so there seems to be more new stuff. As I've traveled to different parts of the country it seems like there is always some section for the gluten-free individual.

The only mainstream grocery store in our area that has any specialty gluten-free food is one called Super 1. They carry Bob's Red Mill stuff and Tinkyada pasta. Safeway and Super Wal-Mart have nothing. :angry: Fortunately, we have a small health foods store, kind of a mini Whole Foods, that carries a lot of gluten-free food and actually has it cheaper than Super 1.

Meijer has a very large selection of gluten free products! They carry Glutino, Tinkyada, Amy's, Chebe, EnviroKids... It was so great to find all the things I buy right at my grocery store. They don't seem to be much cheaper than Wild Oats, but at least it saves a trip!

I find gluten-free products at Wegmans (fantastic selection), Shop Rite, and until recently--Acme. They have completely remodeled the store, and at the same time, stopped carrying The Gluten Free Pantry and Bob's Red Mill and the few others that they offered.

      Is this celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Marsh 3b is the Gold Standard of diagnosis for Celiac Disease.  Until recently, regardless of antibody tests, positive or negative, you had to have Marsh 3 damage to be awarded the diagnosis of Celiac. As I understand you,  you were having constant symptoms..  Your symptoms improved on GFD, with occassional flare ups. Did your doctor say you do and you are questioning the diagnosis? Regarding your increasing severity when you get glutened it is "normal".  Gluten acts on the Opiod receptors to numb your body.  Some report withdrawal symptoms on GFD.  I was an alcoholic for 30 years, about 1/2 pint of voda a day. Each time I identified a trigger and dealt with it, a new trigger would pop up.  Even a 30 day rehab stint, with a low fat diet (severe pancreatis) during which I rarely had cravings.  Stopped at a Wendys on the way home and the next day I was drinking again.  20 years later, sick as a dog, bedridden on Thanksgiving, after months of reasearch, I realized that gluten free was my Hail Mary.  Back in 1976 my son was diagnosed at weaning by biopsy with Celiac Disease and his doctor suggested my wife and I should also be gluten free because it is genetic.  At 25 years old I felt no gastro problems and promised if I ever did I would try gluten free.  Well, I forgot that promise until I was 63 and my wife 10 years dead.  Three days of gluten and alcohol free, I could no longer tolerate alcohol. Eleven years gluten and alcohol free, with no regrets. Improvement was quick, but always two steps forward and one back.  Over time I found nineteen symptoms that I had been living with for my entire life, that doctors had said, "We don't know why, but that is normal for some people". Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  It is an autoimmune disease, meaning your immune system B and T cells create antibodies against ttg(2) in the small intestine in Celiac Disease, and sometimes ttg(3) in skin in Dermatitis Herpetiformus.  'Why' is poorly understood.  In fact, it wasn't even known that wheat, barley and rye gluten was the cause.  Celiac Disease was also called Infantilism, because it was deadly, and believed to only be a childhood disease. So, as part of your recovery you must deal with those deficiencies.  Especially vitamin D because it contols your immune system.  Virtually all newly diagnosed Celiacs have vitamin D deficiency.  There are about 30 vitamin and minerals that are absorbed in the small intestine.  With Marsh 3 damage you may be eating the amount everyone else does, but you are not absorbing them into your system, so you will display symptoms of their deficiency.   As time passes and you replenish your deficiencies you may notice other symptoms improve, some you did not even know were symptoms. Our western diet has many deficiencies built into it.   That is the reason foods with gluten are fortified.  Gluten free processed food are not required to fortify.  Vitamin D, Iodine, choline.  The B vitamins, especially Thiamine (B1) run deficient quickly.  We only store enough thiamine for 2 weeks so the symptoms of Gastrointestinal BeriBeri can come and go quickly.  Magnesium, zinc, etc. each having its own symptoms affecting multiple systems.  High homocystene, an indicator of vascular inflamation can be cause by deficient Choline, folate, B6 and or B12.  Brain fog symptoms by deficient choline, iodine, thiamine B1.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      I cut out the rice because it was affecting my stomach at the time ... not necessarily dermatitis herpetiformis. It was Tilda Basmati Rice, sometimes wholegrain rice. I was willing to do whatever it took to heal. Too much fiber also disagrees with me as I have UC.

      But you didn't answer my question. When you consume gluten, is there an identifiable reaction within a short period of time, say a few hours?

      You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/

      I am only wondering why you would need to cut out rice? I've never heard of rice being any issue in those with DH.
