Baking cooking keeping costs down?
Scott Adams replied to xxnonamexx's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Gluten-free baking can definitely get expensive, but there are ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality. First, consider buying gluten-free flours in bulk online or at warehouse stores—brands like Bob’s Red Mill or Anthony’s are often cheaper in larger quantities. Instead of pre-mixed blends, try making your own using affordable base flours like brown... -
Frozen gluten -free meals

It's strange that the enchilada would be different in that version. -
Your daughter's situation presents a complex but not uncommon scenario in celiac disease diagnosis. While she carries the celiac gene and shows elevated tTG-IgG levels (consistently hovering between 10-17), the negative biopsy and fluctuating deamidated gliadin antibodies create diagnostic uncertainty. The IgA deficiency complicates interpretation, as it...

Confused About Results
Scott Adams replied to Ginger38's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It sounds like you're dealing with a really confusing and frustrating situation. Even though your biopsy didn't show damage, your positive TTG-IgA antibodies that respond to a gluten-free diet strongly suggest your body is reacting to gluten in a significant way. This could indicate potential celiac disease that just hasn't caused visible intestinal damage... -

I hear you—it’s completely understandable to feel frustrated and overwhelmed, especially when you’re already managing so much. A new diagnosis, even if it’s "manageable," can still feel like one more burden on an already heavy load. It’s okay to complain, grieve, or just vent about it! Adjusting to dietary changes, reading labels, and finding safe restauran...

Welcome, and I’m sorry to hear you’re dealing with so many health challenges at once. Given your conditions—especially the nutrient deficiencies (like iron, B12, sodium, and potassium), fibromyalgia, and GI-related issues—it might be worth exploring whether celiac disease or another gluten-related disorder (like non-celiac gluten sensitivity) could be cont...

Golden-Crusted Gluten-Free Eggplant Parmesan with Herbed Cashew Crust
Scott Adams posted an article in Italian
Celiac.com 05/03/2025 - Eggplant Parmesan traces its roots to Southern Italy, where resourceful cooks transformed the humble aubergine into a celebration dish. Traditionally layered with wheat breadcrumbs, this recipe reinvents the classic... -
In general, and I've visited many boutique cheese manufacturing facilities here in Sonoma County, CA, there is no wheat anywhere near them. Dairies generally don't process wheat products, and in cheese making cleanliness is next to godliness--they tend to keep things very clean to the point of sterile so their cheeses won't get contaminated with bacteria...

It’s understandable to feel anxious about staying gluten-free while traveling, but with some preparation, you can enjoy your trip safely. In Spain, gluten-free awareness is growing, and many restaurants (especially in tourist areas like Benidorm) label allergens—look for "sin gluten" (without gluten) or ask staff about "alérgenos." Stick to naturally glut...

This is great info, so thanks for sharing it. I had no idea Costco provides this service, yet I've been a member for over two decades. In the United States, all food manufacturers, including any that ship foods for sale in the USA, are required to comply with the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) of 2004, which mandates clear...

Is Domino's Gluten-Free Pizza Safe for Celiac Disease? (+Video)
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Additional Concerns
Scientific Response to Dr. Osborne’s Claims on Rice and Corn "Gluten" Dr. Peter Osborne, a doctor of chiropractic (DC) and clinical nutritionist (DACBN), has argued that prolamins in rice (oryzenin) and corn (zein)—often called "gluten-like" proteins—may trigger immune reactions in celiac disease, despite not containing the same toxic sequences as wh... -

Bowel issues
Scott Adams replied to marbeg's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
It sounds like you're doing everything right with your gluten-free diet, yet still experiencing significant discomfort, which must be frustrating. Since your stool sample came back normal but symptoms persist, pushing for further investigation—like a colonoscopy or biopsy—is a reasonable next step. You might also want to discuss the possibility of additional con... -

If the manufacturer says it contains gluten, then I would definitely go with that over the government website.

People say lots of things, but the site above is a government website and should have the correct ingredients (perhaps ask the pharmacist where they got their info?).
-
You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...
