Hi all,

Just wanted to let people know about a great gluten free flour I have been using. It is called Tom Sawyer All Purpose Gluten Free Baking Flour. It is wonderful. You substitute this flour one for one in any regular recipe. If you use one cup gold medal flour, use one cup tom sawyer flour. No more mixing flours and gums trying to the right mix. It turns out soft muffins, wonderful cookies, and great bread. It also is suppose to turn out great pizza crust but we use kinnikinnick so I haven't tried it. Anyway, you can only buy it online directly from the company. They have a gluten free factory but do testing anyway. Katharine loves it!

I'll second that! Tom Sawyer flour is the key to my great pancakes (mixed with some teff flour to increase the nutritional content.) The results of everything I'd tried before just didn't compare to the pancakes I made pre-gluten-free....now they do!!

I found Tom Sawyer's flour at the CSA conference in Tuscon last fall and this stuff is truly amazing. I've been gluten free for 4 years and am an ambitious cook. Until I found this flour I had not truly made an "excellent" pizza crust. My mom who knew very little about gluten free cooking bought a bag of this flour and made some excellent dishes while I was visiting for the holidays, and the rest of my family, who had previously thought gluten free items didn't taste all that good, had no idea that everything on the table was gluten free. Whether you're new to the gluten free diet or just want to make your life easier by not stocking 4 or 5 small bags of misc flours in the cupboard, this flour is great! It's currently not sold in any store in California, so all you Californians go to your local health food store or even mainstream grocery store and request that they start carrying this product. And if you do order two 5 pound bags off their website you receive free shipping.

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      Refractory celiac disease

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
