      Bread choice for a newbie

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @humerme! Two or three things. If you are looking to eliminate gluten, you will have to avoid not only wheat but also barley and rye. Those are the three gluten-containing grains. In recommending gluten-free breads, it would be helpful to know where you live since not all products are available everywhere. For instance, my go to loaf bread is Franz but it seems to be available only in the western U.S. I get twin packs at Costco. Finally, and this is vey important, you need to understand that if you intend to get tested for gluten intolerance/celiac disease you must have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks or months leading up to the day of testing. Beginning a gluten-free diet or even a reduced gluten diet will invalidate testing. Many have made this mistake in attempting to test the gluten free waters. Having said that, you can test the gluten free waters to see if symptoms improve and then go back on gluten for the purpose of testing, what we call the "gluten challenge" but many find that once they have been gluten free for awhile they have much more severe reactions when going back on it. Formal testing is necessary to distinguish between celiac disease and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). "Gluten Intolerance" is a general term that covers both celiac disease and NCGS.

      Purposefully Glutening Myself?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Wow. Well, I do believe education can do wonders to open peoples' eyes. Many will get it, but some will always stay closed, and you can't battle that forever. Your family members have an increased chance of Celiacs themselves (and need to regularly get the blood screening test), so they do need some basic info for their own health. Maybe people here can suggest sources to help educate your family. Would they be willing to read the celiac com newsletter ? Sign up for it?  How about the great document for newbies available here? Maybe print some out, leave it out for them to read, ask them to read it, don't be pushy or dramatic, just ask sincerely and pray.  With one stubborn person, my brother, I printed an article out, told him I was confused about something in it, which I really was, asked him to read it and what did he think it meant. It started a great calm conversation, the resistance gradually stopped, and he is now a strong supporter. He actually got himself tested. When I was first diagnosed, I remember someone here suggested the U of Chicago Celiac site to me. Lots of good info there. I have printed out pages here and there, especially the ones about who should get screened for celiacs, 1st degree relatives, etc.  https://www.uchicagomedicine.org/conditions-services/gastroenterology/celiac-disease

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Winnie-Ther-Pooh · Posted

      (I'm new to this forum!) I have always had problems with Bob's Red Mill's certified gluten-free oats and oat flour, but have been able to eat other certified gluten-free oats, from Only Oats for example. I'd be interested to know the results of other products you test as well, particularly beans, as I have a hard time finding gluten-free beans in Canada.

      Bread choice for a newbie

      By humerme · Posted

      With all symptoms of gluten intolerance, I have begun searching for appropriate food replacements. In particular I need advice on the choice of wheat-free bread. The choice is vast so choosing the grain alone is confusing.Naturally taste is a personal choice but any thoughts you have will be greatly appreciated.
