Funny But Sad

Recently we went with a large group to a Chinese restaurant. I was very leery of eating there, but figured I could always eat later if I felt the risk was too high.

On the menu was, I kid you not, "deep fried gluten, tastes like meat". :lol: Warning!!! Red flag!!!

When I asked the proprietor what on the menu would be safe for me to eat, he smiled and said, "anything, we fix!" :o

I had steamed rice and tea, we ate elsewhere later.

That is funny! And I think I would have had only the rice as well. I don't have gluten issues but I am allergic to oysters.

One thing I've found that is usually a safe bet for a snack when we are out is a side of steamed rice from one of the many Teriyaki places around here. We're in the Seattle area and it's a toss up whether there are more coffee places or those.

But what do you think they put in the rice one time? A container of soy sauce! I was worried that it might have spilled or there was some on the outside of the container or something. Luckily it turned out okay though.

I found a tiny can of 'spicy fried gluten' in a Chinese supermarket just after I went gluten free. Yuk... but for some reason, I take a perverse pleasure in displaying it on a bookcase :)

That's really funny. I think I might have even skipped the rice. :lol:

It was probably seitan. In the flesh!

You might enjoy this Youtube video of washing flour to separate the gluten and starch. Smells like bacon! I think they use the same process when making seitan, or fried/boiled spicy gluten.

And this sweet young man made a musical version. Don't give up watching until the star of the show pops in.

And this one is just a review of one companies seitan products. Ewww, lovely stuff...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Is it gluten?

      @par18, no, Scott's use of the term "false negative" is intentional and appropriate. The "total IGA" test is not a test used to diagnose celiac disease per se. The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the...

      This may be the problem. Every time you eat gluten it is like giving a booster shot to your immune system, telling it to react and produce antibodies again.

The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the spectrum of components making it up will likely be also, including the celiac disease response spectrum. In other words, IGA deficiency may produce a tTG-IGA score that is negative that might have been positive had there not been IGA deficiency. So, the tTG-IGA negative score may be "false", i.e, inaccurate, aka, not to be trusted.
