Ring Dings

For anyone who loved ring dings before going gluten free I found a very good substitute at our local health food store. They are called Ring Tings and are made by Shabtai Gourmet (Cinderella Sweets). They are a chocolate covered cake filled with a white cream filling. My son was in heaven last night. He hasn't had anything cream filled since before going gluten free.

These come out every Passover, along with lots of other gluten free cakes and cookies.

Dear Nic,

I am so glad you posted this! My brother would love those! He misses his pastries! Chad would marry Little Debbie if he could! :lol: Now that he is gluten-free, he has missed those treats. If I cannot find them locally, maybe I can order some for Christmas!

Sincerely,

I am looking into finding these as well. ALthough it was rare to buy Ring Dings before, some days I have cravings for them or other similar snack items, I rarely ever ate. Odd, huh?

Dear Amanda,

That is how I am, too! I used to not want some things hardly at all, but since going gluten-free, have craved them. I do not know why that is. My best guess is that it is due to knowing I cannot have them ever now! Your mind really has a major impact on what you want. The psychological ramifications of forbidden foods tend to do this. It is like when you are on a diet and are not allowed dessert, you want it more.

Dear jkmunchkin,

I will keep those in mind! They all sound great! Cookies are my main sweet besides chocolate. Those are the two I love! Thank you for mentioning more treats!

of course I do splurge on candy a lot more now too. My coworkers look on in amazement and ask me how I can stay so thin and I am just thinking well I don't eat cake and cookies like you guys do. I work with some women who can eat cake and cookies by the lb and have no shame :)

Dear Amanda,

That is like me, too. I bake cookies some, but I have to watch the fat due to my gallbladder removal I had several years ago. High fat anything makes me sick. Cakes are something I almost never eat, except gluten-free. In the past year, I have had two. I am not as thin as I would like to be, but eat more candy than I should. The yeast makes me crave it, and my blood sugar gets low. Talk about an unfair situation!

Sincerely,

Dear wyldlife,

I need to contact Andrew, speaking of! My local healthfood store probably would like to carry some of their items. I am a cookie person, but my brother loves doughnuts. He really misses them! I bake, but he does not. This would be a great Christmas gift for him!

Dear forgetgluten,

Thank you so much for the info! :) I am going to browse. My brother will likely want a number of the items. He really loves doughnuts and pastries. Cookies are my primary love, but I can bake. Chad is more of the typical bachelor who does not use the oven.

Dear loco_ladi,

Unfortunately, he and Little Debbie could no longer see each other since going gluten-free. :(:lol: It has been heart-wrenching for him. Who knows, though? Maybe I can figure out how to make things that taste like Little Debbie snack cakes. Meanwhile, Cinderella Sweets is a great way to enjoy treats again without fear. :D

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
