    I just threw in the gluten-free flour blend that I had handy.

    The biospy is done on sites that look suspicious via the scope. While there are false negatives the "random pokes" seems to mischaracterize what is going on.

    ARCHIVED Changes

    Definitely getting eye strain with the new colors. On the bright side, this will keep me off this site at work.

    Last year i made the gluten-free pantry brand of cornbread. At that point you could use any of the scratch recipes that use cornbread - checking the other ingredients of course.

    I was going to try to convert a quick bread recipe. It has chunks of apple and nuts. Would additional xanthan gum (versus a "normal" gluten-free flour blend), help a heavy bread hold its structure? Is there an taste issue to consider? Thanks!

    Sort of the point of the thread I think. Many of these terms don't have a standard definition. The article linked to gives a specific definition (and WebMD offers a similar one) of an intolerance being a digestive system response. Only to the extent we accept that definition, if you have gluten intolerance and have immune system reactions, you have two...

    In the thread "Niagara Falls" in the Gluten-free travel section, there are posts that give suggestions for the Finger Lakes as that was an interim stop on that planned trip.

    My only concern is that you use the terms "gold standard" and "official diagnosis". If you want something in a medical record that all doctors will accept, you need to go the biopsy route. But, if you just want to feel better, the dietary response is more than sufficient.

    I see this as not an issue with the companies but an issue with the generally lawsuit happy society in the US. Since there is a gluten contamination risk everywhere, even in your own house, even if you have a completely gluten-free house (unless you never leave and never let anyone visit), I see those statements information to allow me to gauge the risk...

    I've noticed some inconsistency in these terms, especially intolerance. For example, some people use intolerance as a separate thing from celiac and allergies and some people use intolerance as an umbrella term that covers any reaction to gluten for any reason. This article (Open Original Shared Link) on WebMD defines intolerance as a digestive system...

    It's you. I'd help but I've been "fixed".

    Wegman's here in VA had that same pack. Two weeks ago it was on sale for $6.99 but I don't know what they normally charge.

    I was there two weeks ago. We ate at the Glenwood Pines a few miles north of Ithaca. They didn't have a gluten-free menu but I talked to the waitress and managed to get a good salad-steak-potato option. Open Original Shared Link Depending on your approach to Ithaca, there might be some pointers in the Niagara Falls subject in the travel section. ...

    Do you take your dining cards each time or on later visits do you just ask to talk to the manager? I don't have the cards but drive by that location on one of my alternate routes to work.

    I agree with the earlier posts that the turkey itself is okay, preparation is the issue. Most brands are okay (from a gluten perspective) but read the labels if they have anything added like the self-basting varieties. The one thing I've not seen mentioned here are those plastic oven bags to cook a turkey. The directions for those usually say to put...

    juliela - Thanks again. We missed some of those due to seasonal hours but pizza at Slice of Napa was great. We also hit Bonefish in Eastview Mall.

    This topic made me think about a t-shirt for sale on the satirical site The Onion: "I Wish Someone Would Do Something About How Fat I Am". Open Original Shared Link

    Prior to diagnosis I would have said I had no GI symptoms. Liver tests lead to blood tests which lead to biopsy. In retrospect those things I thought were a "24 hour flu" or "something spoiled" were likely gluten in hindsight (especially the ones after drinking wheat beer). Having been gluten free for about a year, I have symptoms with small amounts...

    I'm also in the group that would never intentionally consume gluten and think that any quantity is a problem. However, I think that there is a level of "concern" about cross-contamination where the stress becomes a problem. As with many of these things, you have to decide how much risk you are willing to take (with regards to any food you eat) and how...

    Thank you for the info. Congratulations on your anniversary. I re-read my original post and realize that in trying to say Sep 2007 I implied the actual date was Sep 7. It is later in the month so other suggestions aren't too late.
  21. Tim-n-VA
    I can see where the concern comes from. Many reduced fat products have "something" added to compensate for texture and/or taste. Breakstone brand cottage cheese lists "modified food starch". They are a Kraft brand and the Kraft policy is to label the source of the food starch if it contains gluten. That puts this brand in a low risk category from my...

    Bumping this since the trip is closer. We have pinned down our route for the weeklong trip from the DC area. Scranton, PA Ithaca/Watkins Glen, NY Rochester, NY Niagara Falls, ON Corning, NY Parks with waterfalls seem to be a theme along with some art museums. Celiac-friendly dining suggestions in any of those locations would be appreciated.

    I don't see this as any different that any other correction you have the opportunity to make in a conversation. If someone mispronounces a word or uses poor grammar or gets a detail wrong, you have to make a judgement as to whether the error is important enough to the discussion to be worth the halt in the conversational flow. There are lots of factors...

    I've used the Pacific Brands without reaction but read the labels carefully. I've found products by them that have wheat starch but claim to have no wheat protein and therefore is gluten-free. Their organic French Onion soup is listed as gluten-free. When I clicked on the nutrition info it listed: Filtered water, organic onions, natural sauteed onion...

    Several of the Progresso varieties are gluten-free. Soup is generally pretty easy to make and if you make it yourself you know it is gluten-free.
