Pinning & Fellow Celiac Support

I am a fellow Celiac and came here hoping for support and wanting to share my very positive experience with trying to get Papa John's to carry gluten-free pizza (see the Restaurant forum). Unfortunately, I never saw my topic after I submitted it. I started worrying, so I looked into the issue and found out I was kicked to the back of the line of topics (third from last). Anyway, I have noticed that just about every topic in every forum is "pinned"...except for mine and a select few. After reading through a lot of the technical board in hopes of trying to figure out how I missed this pinning ceremony I can only assume I was shunned because my topic was in the wrong place, I said something off color, or I utilized the poll feature available to all users. I am happy to work with the moderator(s) if they will help me:

1) if my topic is in the wrong place, tell me where it should go and I will happily move it.

2) if I said something I shouldn't have, then by all means let me know what it was and I will certainly censor myself.

3) if we are not allowed to use the poll feature, then don't make it available to us & tell me how to remove my poll.

I appreciate any help you can give,

N. Flusche

I pick option 4:

Somehow your post was missed.

It's pinned now.

I'll second Jess' idea. The moderators are all volunteers. We are diligent and try to ensure new topics are reviewed and pinned in a timely manner. Sometimes one slips by us. :(

Thank you all so much! You have really made my weekend and totally explained everything. I was really worried that I had done/said something to get myself kicked. Again, I appreciate you both taking the time to respond and help with my issue. Thank you!

np. thanks for pointing out it was missed. They are hard to spot if you miss them the first time.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?
