Angel Food ministries has been around for a while. They offer boxes of food at a very low cost. It started as a way to help low income people make ends meet. Now the boxes can be purchased by anyone. It actually helps the program because it increases their buying power. They are offering a box with five pounds of breaded chicken products for $25. You can go to their website and find a site near to you and place an order online.

This is a faith-based group but they don't preach at you before they sell you the food. I think it could help lots of us stretch our gluten-free dollars!

Hope it's okay to post this! I'm only a customer!

I've been following them for some time and love their concept. I haven't quite figured out their definition of regular unit/box though. Does this mean you have order a regular box to get the allergen free box?

Per their Open Original Shared Link:

Can we receive more than one unit or special?

Yes, you can order as many regular units as you would like. To receive a special box you must first order a regular unit.

The allergen box counts as a "regular" box. You can get just one of those or you can get one of those and one or more of the "special" boxes. I ordered the allergen box and the fruit and veggie box.

Awesome! There are quite a few people in my community that benefit from their program. I have one more question. Everything on the allergen free menu is described as coated. Do you know what the coating is? I saw that on the menu and wondered.

If you contact angel food they will send you the list of the coating, also the products are coming form allergyfreefoods.com. This is a wonderful ministry, I help out at my church almost every month and the products are wonderful! :)

This is my second month ordering.

I didn't want to go through any special fuss, so I asked a friend to join. She orders the basic box and I order ameat box and the fruit and veggie box. I didn't see anything list about "allergen box". Is it new for the next month's menu?

Thanks so much for posting this. I never expected to find one within my limited travelling distance but there is one just a few miles from my home. :) Once the weather breaks and I know I can get there (no chance of snow), I will be a regular customer. I think it will help a lot and I am thrilled they have fresh produce.

I believe this is new for this program. I pick up my order on March 16 so I will let everyone know how things taste. I looked online and this price is almost half of what they charge on QVC for this stuff. Maybe more than half if you consider shipping? My kids are pretty jazzed about this and so am I!

      Positive TTG antibody and negative EMA antibody

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      You're welcome! Be sure the patient eats at least ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks prior to repeating antibody testing.   Some people unconsciously reduce the amount of gluten in their diet because the feel unwell.  Three grams of gluten per day is sufficient to produce symptoms.  Only at ten grams or more is the immune system provoked to raise the antibody production high enough so that the antibodies leave the digestive tract and enter the blood stream where they can be measured.   Read the comments below the article...

      Thanks for your response and thoughts. Total IgA is normal. HLA DQ2/DQ8 came as heterozygous and the interpretation of the lab that the risk of coeliac disease is mild to moderate. Thyroid function test is normal. I agree that the best way is to repeat tTG antibodies in 6 months time as the result was not massively high.

      Welcome to the forum, @Wamedh Taj-Aldeen, How is the patient's thyroid?   You could check for thiamine deficiency which can cause the thyroid to either become hyper or hypo.  TTg IgA can be high in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.  tTg IgA can also be high if patient is taking medications to stimulate the thyroid as in hypothyroidism.   Thanks for visiting!  Keep us posted!

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Rejoicephd, I found the Autoimmune Protocol diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne) extremely helpful in getting my health back.  The AIP diet is very strict, removing any possibly irritating foods and allowing time for the digestive tract to heal, then other foods are added back in with less risk of reaction.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Weakly positive DGP IgA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Cat M, welcome to the forum! I noticed you are low in ferritin and thiamine as well as other nutritional deficiencies already.  Deficiencies in iron and thiamine affect your body's ability to make antibodies.  Since you do have symptoms, nutritional deficiencies evidence of malabsorption, MTHFR and one celiac gene,  I'm suspecting you do have Celiac disease.   Can you consult a gastroenterologist?  Or ask your doctor to do so.   Gluten Sensitivity can be a precursor of Celiac disease in people with Celiac genes.  Since you've already got symptoms of Celiac disease and evidence malabsorption, an endoscopy with biopsies would be beneficial.   It's can be so frustrating getting a diagnosis because doctors are not familiar with Celiac disease.  Sending you encouragement! Keep us posted on your progress!
