    Just because I am totally anal retentive , I will mention that the Lays list posted above is out of date. The most current list on the frito lay website was updated 11/13/08. There are quite a few discrepancies between the two. Open Original Shared Link We have never had a problem with any Lays product in our house, so make your own choice...

    Here is a link to the ROCK group support group finder. My son is 10, and he was diagnosed when he was 6. He has taken it like a champ, and never complains. I think how we act about it goes a long way to how they will act about it. Our family motto about the whole thing is "let's make it work!" When he was diagnosed, I promised him that he would never...

    Avoid AT ALL COSTS the Arrowhead mills cake. It is the grittiest, grossest thing I have ever eaten. Like chowing down on a pile of vanilla sand. Gack. Pamela's vanilla cake is great. I have one in the oven as we speak for my son's birthday today. The smell, taste and texture are great, it's not that expensive, and it's easy to find.

    Food Tek makes a line of gluten-free easy bake oven mixes. I have not tried them, so I cannot vouch for the taste. Open Original Shared Link

    Does Sara Lee make a pie filling separately? Or a crustless pie? If you are asking if it is OK to eat the pie filling out of the pie, the answer would be definitely no. Sara Lee discloses all forms of gluten in their labeling. You should be able to read the label on their products to know if they are safe. Here is their reply to an email earlier this...

    If it were me, I would have the complete celiac panel run immediately, and then let those results determine the next steps. No harm in getting the blood work done. If you decide to do this, make sure your doctor orders the full panel, and not just one or two if the tests. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

    Open Original Shared Linkto the Frito Lay list of products that do not contain gluten. They do not claim to test them for gluten, nor do they use the term "gluten free." Lines are washed between batches, and each person would need to make their own decision on whether or not they are comforable with that. I have read accounts of Frito Lay products...

    It can take quite a while for bloodwork results to drop (months or longer in some people). You may get positive results with only 18 days gluten-free. But the bloodwork is only the first step in the diagnosis process. If the bloodwork is positive (and often if it isn't) your GI will want to order an endoscopy. Changes to the villi have been shown to occur...

    Gluten is the protein element of the wheat. If we break down the chemical structure of glucose syrup, it does not contain protein. "Open Original Shared Link" Shelley Case, author. Wheat starch is another animal entirely. It is much less processed than maltodextrin or glucose syrup. I have no doubt that many people react to that. I...

    I am glad you are feeling better. The list of foods to avoid on Open Original Shared Linkis riddled with errors. Some examples include distilled vinegar (distillation removes any gluten), andpotato chips (seasonings can contain gluten, but not always). Their forum is chock full of really nasty porn, too - I think I need to go wash my brain...

    There are 3 of 4 fortune cookie recipes in Roben Ryberg's latest cookbook. I have not tried them yet, so I cannot vouch for their results. Open Original Shared Link

    Maltodextrin is gluten free. If maltodextrin is from a wheat source, it must be declared by law. Even if it is original sourced from wheat, maltodextrin is so highly procesed it is a gluten free ingredient. Open Original Shared Link Hope you feel better.

    The cheesy quinoa crackers from Gluten Free Gobsmacked are great. I made them with mini cookie cutters, and my kids were scarfing them as fast as I could make them. I do not care for quinoa flour, so I used the sorghum/amaranth blend as suggested in the recipe. The picture alone will make you want to make these. Open Original Shared Link Edited...

    We were in Coeur d' Alene last week, and had a great experience at the Red Robin there. We went at a not very busy time (2:00 or so). When we were seated, I told the waiter that my son and I needed a gluten free meal. He smiled and let me know that he would go print the menu for me. He also informed me (without prompting) that the fries were prepared in...

    We have 9 chickens, so I have probably boiled more than my fair share of eggs. A recent issue of Backyard Poultry magazine had an article about hardcooking eggs. this method works great for me. Here is a link: Open Original Shared Link

    There is definitely an anti-doctor vibe on this board. It is one of the main reasons I don

    Open Original Shared Link Your family doctor may be willing to run the bloodwork for you, but will likely be unable to interpret it. You will probably want to see your GI doctor for your followup. Now that I have been on the diet a few years, and know how to interpret my own bloodwork, I just request the labs yearly without making an appointment...

    Type I diabetes can cause a falsely elevated TtG reading. I am not saying he isn't getting contaminated somewhere, but you may want to explore the diabetes angle with his doctor. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

    Thanks for posting the information on a gluten-free year's supply. I am working hard to build my food storage back up since being diagnosed 3.5 years ago. It was so much easier when I could just have a bunch of buckets of wheat!

    Although it is OT from the original post, and with all due respect to you, I don't think those numbers are correct. According to the University of Chicago: Open Original Shared Link

    The former leader of our support group, a Naturopath, knows Dr. Fine personally. Dr. Fine has eaten dinner at his house. I asked him if he had ever spoken to Dr. Fine about why he has not published his results for peer review, he said yes. Well why not, was my next question? The answer to the question was....wait for it......"He just doesn't." That...
