Just got a 25lb bag of and a bread and pizza bag on order from gfjules. Thanks for the recommendation. ! Luckily we have a few good gluten-free bakeries around us.

Are there good gluten-free baking flours you can buy in 50lb bags? Seems like everything gluten-free comes in tiny little packages... Something general purpose for pizza dough and white bread? Oh- I just found a 25lb bag for $111 here: https://www.glutenfree-supermarket.com/p-5-gluten-free-classical-blend.aspx But open to other options!

Biopsy testing in Bay Area?

Thanks for the replies. Boys are 14. They're not thrilled but will be on board, we think. They are very picky eaters, so it is going to be a challenge.

Hi Scott, Standard range is <= 14U/mL for those our TTG tests. They both had low iron.. 8 and 13ng/mL.. and after 65mg iron pills (twice normal dose) they tested 20 and 30ng/mL of iron. One had trouble with his stomach during exercise. But otherwise seem healthy, but perhaps under weight. Understand it might be expensive. But we don... -
We have identical twin boys who have a TTG IGA counts of 58 and 25. Kaiser is backed up until February on testing and initial consultations. Wondering if there are any doctors who can do a biopsy out of network just to get the waiting over. Is there a "reasonable" cost to expect? Not sure we want to go off gluten just to have to go back on in a...
