Just wanted to add on if any are still reading. I have Lynch syndrome also known as HNPCC (Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer). This is a genetic condition that predisposes one to colon cancer and a few others types of cancer. Up to 15% of all colon cancers are conencted to HNPCC. If there is a history of colon cancer occurring at younger than expected...

I eat Kix almost 5 days a week and I can tell you that my blood tests are now clean.

Actually I'm not kidding. I liked Snyder's pretzels so one made without gluten products might be good. I'm certainly not going to base my opinion on hearsay. I have celiac disease and I do eat products made in facilities that also process wheat - and I am now testing normally via bloodwork. Last endoscopy was better, too. Are you seriously going to ban this...

I tried it and it is okay - better than the Glutino's pre-made frozen and Z-Pizza (IMO). (Amy's is so darn expensive I've never bothered to try.) Udi's crust is a little sweet but made a serviceable pizza. My partner really enjoyed it - even more than I (he does not have celiac disease) and encouraged me to buy more crusts.

I can't wait to try these! Does anyone know when they will be coming out and whether they will be available in the various flavors?

If you're not in the mood for cooking, you might think of trying Udi's Whole Grain bread. I got it at Sprouts (California) in frozen section. It's excellent!

Hey, if you're worried then don't try it! I understand. I wouldn't discourage others unless you have actually tried the stuff, though. Others here probably realize that dextrose and ascorbic acid are very common gluten-free ingredients that we needn't worry about. Also, from the Udi's website, "Rest assured, Udi

I already bought another loaf of the whole grain and noticed that the Udi product line seems to be fairly popular - the freezer section was almost cleaned out. Also, the other loaf I had sitting out on my counter went bad after 9 days so be warned - they won't last forever. I tried the pizza crust and it was ... okay. A little sweet for my tastes but still...

You are so welcome. I swear, I almost cried when I had that first decent PB&J sandwich after two years! I read that one of their restaurants makes gluten free pizzas - I'd love to try that. (I recently ate at Pizza Fusion, an organic restaurant in Hillcrest (San Diego, CA). I had a gluten free pizza with gluten free beer and a gluten free brownie dessert...

I haven't posted much lately but one of my sore spots has always been the cruddy quality of gluten free breads. I've finally found one that I like. I purchased it at Sprout's and it is made by Udi's Handcrafted Foods. I tried the Udi's Whole Grain Bread and it is just great. You don't have to store in freezer - my loaf has been thawed out since Friday. You...

Thanks, Reba32! My T4 tests in the normal range - so it all seems a bit strange right now. I am hopeful that the thyroid scan can clarify things and then I will have a followup with the endo. Thanks again.

Just wondering - did that Enterolab doctor ever publish?

It has been ages since I've been here! Wondering if anyone can give me some general pointers about thyroid problems. I recently had a blood test that showed normal T4 but <0 TSH. Thast seemed to indicate hyperactive thyroid. He ordered the antibody test and that showed a definite reaction. He says, "The antibody test shows you have Hashimoto's thyroiditis...

If you ever try sweet and sour pork (I know it's not as healthy!) you cannot go wrong with cornstarch. Cube your pork, salt liberally, make a fairly thick paste of corn starch and water, mix with the pork and let set for a few minutes. Then use a dry batch of corn starch to 'flour' each piece of marinated pork. Deep fry and you have a little bit of unhealthy...

This is probably not news to any of the foodies here, but I am just now learning that Japanese-style fried chicken is often made using potato starch and rice flour. I was reading a local restaurant review where the author was commenting on a local Hawaiian BBQ. He really liked the very light fried chicken which was marinated in ginger, dusted with sweet rice...
