    We screened all of our kids as first degree relatives immediately after I was diagnosed. My son was positive. He had no outward symptoms. However, his biopsy and bloodwork were nearly as bad as mine were. I was near death and getting fed through an IV, and he seemed fine. But he was well on his way to being a very sick little boy. When we told him he...

    The test that will show you if you are still consuming gluten is the antiGliadin IgA. The result should be as close to 0 as possible. I don't see that test in the list you posted. Your TtG IgA is definitely positive, but as I posted above, that can be related to other things. Definitely follow up with your doctor. Are you still experiencing symptoms...

    I have difficulty telling from your original post which bloodwork you have had done as a followup, or what your levels were. It is important to note that simply retesting the TtG is not adequate. Please see below: Open Original Shared Link

    I have frozen it a bunch of times. I usually make a 2x or 3x batch, divide it into balls, wrap each ball in plastic wrap and put all the balls in the freezer in a gallon sized ziplock. Thawing the frozen balls in the refrigerator overnight works great for me. Freezing/thawing doesn't seem to change the taste or texture. Happy baking!

    If a product is sold in the US, it must comply with all US labeling standards, even if the ingredients are sourced elsewhere. Here are some links that may be of use to you re: caramel color and dextrin. Here's what Open Original Shared Linkhas to say about Caramel Color...

    Chicklet - it is entirely possible that the cereal has not changed at all, and it is only a change in the packaging. Here in the US, the Government is still working out what Gluten Free means. As of this moment, there is no standard. Many manufacturers have changed thir packaging to say made without gluten ingredients or wheat free because they are waiting...

    Open Original Shared Link to a great TNT recipe - with pictures. . I have been making it for years, and have served it to lots of gluten eaters with rave reviews.

    Running Rabbit used to make a gluten-free red licorice, but I recently read that they have gone out of business. Open Original Shared Linkis another gluten-free red licorice option.

    I know it's not what you asked, but... I use my pressure cooker to make rice. I can cook perfect brown rice in 20 minutes, and perfect white rice in 8 minutes. It is fantastic and quick, and always cookis out great made with either broth or just plain water. So if you have a pressure cooker (also great for all kinds of meats, beans, etc) you might give...

    You are doing all the right things by volunteering to help with the party and scooping your son's portion out first. You might conveniently volunteer to set up the toppings so that the gluten stuff is one one side of the table and the gluten-free stuff is on the other. The other mom wants to do things her way, so you are probably better off not fighting...

    I just clicked on an A/R/B/O/N/N/E ad on the side of this page to come up with this list. Open Original Shared Link Seems odd that they would be tagged with lame advertisement when they are an advertiser. HTH.

    Gelatin adds extra protein (helps loaf stability and promotes elasticity to your recipe), and reduces crumbliness. You may be able to leave it out, it really depends on the recipe. I usually use it when a recipe calls for it.

    Actually, that article is Dr. Fine talking about himself. Scott may have included it in his newsletter in 2004, but the words are from Dr. Fine about Dr. Fine. Probably not a great deal of objectivity there. All we have to say whether Enterolab's results are valid is our own opinions. Since they have never published their results, we do not have...

    We are planning a family trip to Blanchard and Sandpoint, Idaho as well as Spokane, WA in the next few weeks. Does anyone have any recent experience traveling to these areas? I would love to know what restaurants, groceries and bakeries are in the area. We will be packing most of our own food, but you never know when a food emergency might arise. Thanks...

    Karen - I don't know if you are still around. It was great meeting up with you today. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your books and supplies. My intention is to set up a lending library in our support group, and your books will make a great addition! I wish you good health, and I hope you are on the road to feeling really well. Thanks again...

    A decent supply of food storage can provide ecomonic as well as emotional security. I used to have a years supply of food back when I could store wheat, but it has become much more difficult with all the different flours I use now. I probably have 3 months worth now, with a goal of getting back to a years supply. If you think about it, food storage allows...

    Eggs serve multiple purposes in recipes. They are many times a binder or a leavener. In my experience, Ener-G egg replacer works in recipes where eggs would be a leavener, and not very well in recipes where eggs are a binder.

    Anti Gliadin antibodies can indicate gluten intolerance related to celiac, can indicate gluten intolerance that is not celiac, and can indicate an unrelated condition altogether.
