Hi, All!

Happy to report that our SF Chronicle has highlighted Celiac Disease in today's issue.

Great article! And I recognize the quote from this site! :)

What's coolest about this is my parents, friends, brother, etc, all read the Chron so now I can back up my story with this one. You know how some people just see things as more legit when they are printed somewhere... :rolleyes:

I was SUPPOSED to be interviewed for this article, but the woman never called, so I never got to talk about teens and celiac. Oh Well, it is still a really good article. My mom went to a meeting there witht the editors and told them that they should do something on celiac. YAY

I went out and bought a couple of copies. Even better in print. Bummer about not getting interviewed! Well, it was still pretty good. The cover picture of the woman shopping with all the gluten items flying off the shelves at her is pretty good - I'm thinking of hanging it in my cube at work. Or maybe the part that explains what Celiac and gluten-intolerance are. That will help when I'm trying to explain at work why I don't eat the pizza, donuts, cakes, whatever it is they special order for us for fun.

I also forwarded the article to my manager and the company owner (who takes a genuine interest in my dietary needs).

YEP....I plan to show the article to my family members, too...they will take 'it' more seriously, just because it got in the paper in such a 'big' way...

The print version was a lot better than the web link...it included a taste-test of gluten-free pastas (they tested the long, thin versions only)....done by top chefs in SF area - Only 2 got the 'I would buy that' from all 5 chefs...

Here are the results:

83 of 100 pts: Tinkyada Pasta Joy Brown Rice Pasta, spaghetti style.

77 of 100: Mrs. Leeper's Rice Spaghetti

---------------------------------------------

55 pts: Mrs. Leeper's Corn Spaghetti

54: Ancient Harvest (quinoa)

52: Westbrae natural (corn)

43: De Boles (rice)

33: Nutrition Kitchen (soy)

9: Lundberg (rice)

6: Pastariso (rice)

0 points: Bionaturae (Blend)

Great that a member's mom asked the SF Chronicle to do the article!!!

Good job, MOM!

I found the pasta round up to be interesting. I read that section for regular foods from time to time and find that I agree with their choices many times (like I've seen them list the best salamis, the best cheddar cheese, etc). I was surprised though that the Ancient Harvest was as low as it is, but really surprised the Lundberg one is so low. Lundberg rice is a local company and I haven't bought that pasta yet as I have plenty of Tinkyada but am sad to see the low rating. I'll probably get some anyway to try. DeBoles - not horrible but I like it for the Mac and Cheese box convenience, that's it.

Anyway, it was interesting. I would love to see a taste test of many different gluten free foods.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears. Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also, I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. ...

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
