I was not sure where to post this, but I contacted cheesecake factory because that is the food I will probably most miss and even though sugar is out of question for the moment with me, I would like to one day eat a cheesecake again....

Here is there response:

Thank you for your email!

Our Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake is gluten free. However, the pan that is baked in is sprayed with a pan release that contains a trace amount of flour.

Enjoy!

There Godiva cheesecake is so yummy! I have had it so many times before being diagnosed. What about cutting off the bottom and sides??

Nope. If their pan were to be sprayed with something that released just a trace of dog poop would you cut off the bottom and the sides?

Insert little green icon here!

Thank them for their response but kindly and gently let them know that their pan release agent makes the product toxic to millions of people - including you - and rather than being able to enjoy it you will no longer be able to be their customer because their product makes you sick.

Ask them if it is so important to them to use that pan release agent. Perhaps if they realized there are at least 3 million customers they are driving away by using it, they would reconsider how important it really is and maybe switch to a safer one. :)

I would avoid it just because it is Godiva. Godiva is one of those brands that puts barley malt in pretty much everything, and won't give any definitive gluten statements. "Company states none of their products are gluten-free due to potential cross-contamination."

The good news is, cheesecake is pretty easy to make at home. There are some good recipes on here, or you can do a regular recipe with no crust, which is generally where the gluten is.

Also, I learned the whole "cutting off the bit that might have touched gluten" thing the hard way. Its not worth it.

Interesting. I ate there last Sunday, and had the Godiva Cheesecake. What the waiter told me was that it was gluten-free, but manufactured in a facility that also produces wheat containing products. (Like I believe the waiter over the company, but I gave him a big tip for going to check for me. :rolleyes: ) I ate it anyway - I know I shouldn't have, but I did. I got a gut ache, but fooled myself into thinking it was because of too much sugar.

Guess I won't be eating that again!

Ditto on that one. It's one of those things that seems like a good idea at the time but you soon learn it wasn't so good after all. :huh:

elonwy: thanks for the heads up on godiva--very good to know

Ohsotired: what is a mild case of celiac?

A mild case of celiac disease is what you have when your GI doc doesn't want to admit that your 'crazy ideas' of what's wrong are actually RIGHT! ;) Maybe I'll outgrow it. :rolleyes:

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes...

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      Help! My 5 year old daughter just stopped eating dairy and gluten due to her EoE and Celiac. Her favorite candy in the world is tootsie rolls. I did some research, and it sounds like these are the only options for finding something similar, but I can't find them anywhere to actually purchase. Have they been discontinued?? Does anyone have another recommendation...

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      Welcome to the forum, @suek54, I have Dermatitis Herpetiformis, too. I found taking Niacin B3 very helpful in clearing my skin from blisters as well as improving the itchies-without-rash (peripheral neuropathy). Niacin has been used since the 1950's to improve dermatitis herpetiformis. I try to balance my iodine intake (which will cause flairs...

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.

That would relate to secondary adrenal insufficiency I think , ie AI caused by steroids such as taken long term for eg asthma. I have primary autoimmune AI, my adrenals are atrophied, no chance if recovery there. But I am in touch with some secondaries, so something to bear in mind. .  Niacin B3 Very interesting too. Must have a good read about that.  Im sure lots of questions will arise as I progress with dermatitis herpetiformis. In the mean time, thanks for your help.
