I love the pic with you ? and the kitty! ;)

My kitty is a 2 yr old Maine Coon cat we adopted, his name is Lucky, he is a kitty who needs constant attention and love. He is laying next to me now on his back. He is purring!

My new avatar was taken on opening day of the Harrisburg Wegmans in September, it is me and Danny Wegman the CEO of the store. I was glad I took my camera that day. :)

We don't think Wegmans is expensive at all. Their own products are reasonable, and as far as the more specialty items, they don't require an extra stop or two.

Their products are reasonable in my eyes. Pasta sauce under their name was 51 cents yesterday. I dont usually have any complaints about their prices. The expensive things are the premade meals and fancy baked goods....but from my memory those baked goods were great!

I'm a new member, with a newly diagnosed 15 year old daughter. I'm wishing we had a Wegman's here in Indiana! but what caught my attention was your comment about sour cream...I thought that was always gluten-free? These hidden glutens are causing me all kinds of gray hairs!!

Hi, I know when I was first starting out that killed me too, everywhere they hide gluten. Soon things will be so much easier. You will find brands that you trust. Kraft products are very good with not hiding any gluten.

Walmart is also good, they label all their Great Value brand products gluten free.

Welcome to the board!

Thanks...so I take it that not all sour cream is gluten-free, huh? I will have to be more careful! That's great to know about Walmart. Thanks so much!!

I actually am not sure about the sour cream, I only buy it for Tacos and I buy it at Wegmans where it is labeled gluten free.

Loved the pictures!

My avatar is my opening day picture.

I did go to the store to get photographed to be in the weekly circular today.

Are you still getting the coupon books in the mail? I was so surprised when we got another one 2 weeks ago.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      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.
