ARCHIVED Enterolab Reliable?
GeoffCJ replied to horsegirl's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
This has been discussed before, but yes, people do test negative. Of course, here on this site, it make perfect sense that most people would test positive. People without celiacs are unlikely to spend much time here, and I would agree that Enterolab seems to have the highest percentage of positive answers. Geoff -
ARCHIVED Has Anyone Eaten At Pluto's?
GeoffCJ replied to Anonymousgurl's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Well, congratulations on coming to Davis. I've really enjoyed it here. I actually graduate Saturday, but will be around for a while after that, I live in the area and will be doing some work at the school. I'm not a vegan, so I'm not an expert on that. There is a gluten-free bakery in Davis, but I'm not sure how much of their stuff would be gluten... -
ARCHIVED Has Anyone Eaten At Pluto's?
GeoffCJ replied to Anonymousgurl's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I used to eat at the Plutos in Davis all the time, but have stopped since going gluten free. The way they make their salads there seems ot be a very high risk of Cross contamination. And when I asked about other items, they didn't seem very helpful. Sad, because I really liked their food. Are you going to school in Santa Rosa? Geoff -
ARCHIVED Would You Let Your Child Fly Alone?
GeoffCJ replied to StrongerToday's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I used to fly as a kid all the time, for the same reason (divorced parents). I loved it. It always was big adventure for me. Direct flights would be a good idea. -

ARCHIVED Newbie: Whole Foods Bread
GeoffCJ replied to skurry's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
What brand/style was it? Was it the Whole Foods bakehouse brand? Or something else? The WF brand stuff is one of the better ones I've found. That said, I really just don't eat bread that much anymore.... I like the Brown Rice Tortillas. I do a lot more wraps than sandwhiches. Geoff -
My mom and Grandma are in town for a few days to help celebrate my graduation, and we'll be heading into San Fran friday. Grandma wants to take us out for a really nice lunch, so I'm looking for recomendations for a nice meal Friday. Obviously gluten-free, and grandma doesn't really eat seafood. We'll be downtown, near all the main touristy stuff...

Remember, if it's gluten that is a problem, wheat avoidence isn't sufficient. Wheat is perhaps the most common source of gluten, but gluten is found in other things too. Check out the Safe/Not Safe ingredient lists on this site. Geoff

Was that for posting your avatar? I'm looking to post a picture in the body of my post. I can do it in other forums, and this one appears to have the button to create the link, but the picture just shows as a link, not as a picture.. Oh well, I guess I'll just post elsewhere and link to it. Geoff

I had symptoms starting in college (18-19) and was not diagnosed until 31. I was diagnosed "officially" but I remembering saying to my doctor, "you know, I feel so much better off gluten that you'll have to come up witha pretty convincing reason to start eating it again." Dietary response is a solid test. If your feet hurt, and you realize it's...

Does embedding a picture not work on this forum? There seems to be a button for it, but it doesn't seem to work. Any hints? I was going to post some pictures of recipe I made tonight. Any hints?

ARCHIVED Agitation When Glutened?
GeoffCJ replied to cdfiance's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Ryan, When I get glutened, I get really anxious. I freak out about all kinds of things, more worried than angry, but irrational. I don't think it was symptom, but all my symptoms have gotten dramatically stronger since going gluten free. Geoff -
ARCHIVED Symptoms Of Lactose Intolerance
GeoffCJ replied to little d's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I tested negative for Casein with enterolab, but had convinced myself I was Lactose intolerant. Over the last few days, I didn't have hardly any dairy (not really intentional, but I was on a trip). I felt pretty damn good. This morning a poured a bowl a cereal, and my lactaid milk. 10 minutes later I had to go to the bathroom. and it wasn't pretty... -

I think there are King Soopers in Southern California, but I'm not aware of them around here. (Sacramento). I'll have to keep my eyes open. Geoff -
ARCHIVED Good Price On Boxes Of Lara Bars
GeoffCJ replied to GeoffCJ's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Really? Wow. If I saw them 10 for 10, I'd buy everyone they had in stock! I normally end up paying about a buck fifty. Geoff -
ARCHIVED Negative Blood/ Positive Biopsy?
GeoffCJ replied to tmk's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Me. I was negative on the blood test, but the biopsy showed damage even after having eaten gluten free for 4-6 weeks before biopsy. (no one told me that I needed to keep eating gluten) Geoff -
ARCHIVED Good Price On Boxes Of Lara Bars
GeoffCJ replied to GeoffCJ's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications

ARCHIVED Damn It. It 's My Last Week Of Finals For My Last Year Of My Mba Program
GeoffCJ replied to GeoffCJ's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Yup. I will walk and be hooded. My wife will hood me, my mom and grandma (all the way from england!) will be in the audience. I'm going to send you a PM, since I'm interested in teaching too. Geoff -
ARCHIVED Good Price On Boxes Of Lara Bars
GeoffCJ posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
This is a good price on Lara Bars. I just wish they made a "sampler" box. Open Original Shared Link I have no association with Vitacost, just saw this and hope it's OK to post. Geoff -

ARCHIVED Anyone Ever Cheat On This Diet?
GeoffCJ replied to sillyyak's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Where are you? I bet someone can recomend a gluten-free restaurant nearby. I hear the Outback flourless cake is awesome. I just had a great gluten-free brownie. I get way sick with accidental gluten, no temptation to cheat. -
Sorry to hear about your tree. We lost a gorgeous Japenese maple recently. It bummed me out. Geoff
