    Somebody must have access to the ingredients in this plant based packaging. I would say if wheat, barley or rye is on the list, celiacs should deffinately avoid it. Basically, I like the idea of biodegradable packaging. Maybe my dog can eat it!

    Guest Art. I am so sorry to hear about your struggles to enjoy eating. I am sure you have had your swallowing dissorder thoroughly evaluated, and treatment options explored. My father had the same swallowing issues after his stroke. It sounds like you made a very sound decision to take your nourishnent as a lliqid, or pureed. We all need...

    My liver anxiously awaits!

    We are travelling in our RV for a while, which means we go into lots of different grocery stores all over the country. It is interesting to see the difference in the amount of gluten free options being sold. I am finding that basically, the more upscale the neighborhood and the store, the greater the selection of gluten free items. At one very nice market...

    Gluten free fish and chips. In my dreams! We are curently travelling through Marquette Michigan, and there is a little place that claims to have gluten free fried chicken. We will try it tomorrow. Meanwhile, I have been drinking the ocaisional Corona Extra, considered gluten free in some circles, and have had no problems

    Thanks! That artical was facinating. It seems like the celiac immune response is a little more complex than I realized. I am first in line when they invent a safe sourdough wheat bread for celiacs!

    I just spoke with my step daughter who has a pizza food truck in Greenfield, Massachusetts. She makes an old world, rustic type of crust. She told me that she has been told that people who have bad reactions to gluten can eat this crust. She said that she uses yeast, and lets the dough "ferment" for three days before she bakes it. I am wondering if this...

    Hey. This is a little off topic, but I had a very interesting conversation with a woman the other day. She told me that her daughter was diagnosed with celiac 20 years ago, and has horrible reactions if she ingests even a small amount of gluten. She said, however, that there is one bakery in the area, (The Small Oven Bakery, in East Hampton, Massachusetts...

    trent, I have often wondered about that myself. I have only one celiac gene. (I forget which one ot is, but it is the most common one.) Anyway, i am basically silent. Scott Adams, the head of this sight, has mentioned that he has two celiac genes. He has also written about how severe his symptoms were before diagnosis, and how baddly he reacts to accidental...

    trent, to me, the most intetesting finding of the study was the negligible difference in the small intestinal biopsy results between the cheaters and the strict adherents to the diet. The study was done with silent celiacs, who cheated because they had no gluten ingestion symptoms, and they only did this weekly, or less often. Apparently, the death rate...

    trent. I will try to send the link for a very interesting study I found about liacs who occaisionally eat gluten. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7075003/
  12. Oldturdle
    Thank you. That does make sense.
  13. Oldturdle
    Thanks, Trents. I have not really tried intentionally eating gluten since going gluten free, except for a couple of days we spent in a hurricane shelter last September. The repercussions I had then were just a few loose stools a couple of days later. The gluten effects may be worse now. (If I am going to test it, it will be on a raised, glazed doughnut...

    Thanks for that very good information! 10 mg of gluten for sure is not very much, given that an aspirin tablet contain 600 mg. I have read that one Gliadenx breaks down the amount of gluten contained in 1/8 of a slice of bread. I do take 1 or 2 of these before eating a potentially cross contaminated meal. I have sure never heard that some celiacs can...

    Sorry, this is really unrelated to this thread, but I have a question. If you need to eat that much gluten to ensure a possitive blood test, how much do you have to eat to ensure a possitive biopsy? It seems to me, if this much gluten is necessary for positive test results, why could a celiac, assuming they have no symptoms from eating gluten, not be able...

    Thanks so much for this article. I always swallow one or two Gliadinx right before I eat a gluten free meal at a restaurant. I have never had a problem.
  17. Oldturdle
    I have taken one or two Gliadinx before every meal away from home since I was diagnosed with Celiac, and swear by this stuff. It is for small amounts of cross contamination only, but still, a great relief when it allows you to enjoy gluten free restaurant meals, without concern. Incidentally, this stuff does not require a prescription. When I asked my...

    Just had lunch at the Thai Legacy Restaurant on N. Parson Blvd, in Brandon Florida. The menue had several items marked as Gluten free. I had the Traditional Pad Thai, and my husband had the egg plant stir fry. Both were excellent, and reasonably priced. Plenty left to take home for another feeding. So far, no hint of G.I. drama!

    Amy R. My only question is WHERE did you get the Glutino gluten free English muffins!? I was served one recently when having a Grand Slam breakfast at Denny's. This was absolutely the best glutin free bread product I have ever had, but they are certainly not sold at any of the big chain stores that we shop at here in Florida. Incidently, I had no reaction...

    ButWhatCanIeat, (love the name!) I understand how truly ill some people get after just a crumb or two of gluten, and when I ate gluten at the shelter for the first time in a year and a half, I certainly didn't know how I would react. Fortunately, I just had a couple of days of loose stools after I got home. To credit the Red Cross, who ran the...

    Jim, We too live in Centralish Florida, the Tampa Bay area. I have found that most liquor stores, especially the bigger ones, will order whatever beer you want, as long as you order a case. You are right, however, slim picking for off the shelf gluten free beer. Our local Publix and Winn Dixie don't carry any.

    Hutton's 16, just know that stress can activate all kinds of GI symptoms.

    Omission's gluten reduced brewery has gotten rid of their previous bottled beers, and has a whole new lineup of canned beers. (Even a couple of nonalcoholic beers. What are they even for!?) Anyway, I tried their new Ultimate Wheat Ale. What swill! For starters, it was only 95 calories, and 4% ABV, which indicates to me it is essentially water. The...
  24. Oldturdle
    The new Omission line includes two or three non alcoholic beers.
  25. Oldturdle
    I just found out that Omission has totally changed their product line. They will no longer be making that wonderful, full flavored, bitter, hoppy, true beer experience that was their Pale Ale. As a celiac, this was the first gluten free beer I found that didn't taste like watered down lemon juice. Omission's new line is canned, not bottled, and...
