it probably takes a few weeks to figure out how to eat gluten-free. There was a study done in Finland to determine if 20 ppm is a safe amount for a Celiac to eat in food. They gave different groups different amounts of food for a couple of weeks & then let them be gluten-free again. The antibodies of the group they gave a lot of gluten to went...

ARCHIVED Borriello Brothers Gluten Free Pizza
kareng replied to icelandgirl's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Did not see this on their website on first look. I would eat this! I'm looking to see where all the locations are. Hoping for Breck or Vail Or Dillon or Frisco! "Borriello Brothers Real NY Pizza uses a 10" gluten free crust with sauce, cheese, and toppings that are separated from the regular pizza assembly area. The pizzas are also cooked in... -
ARCHIVED Borriello Brothers Gluten Free Pizza
kareng replied to icelandgirl's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I looked them up and they are in Colorado. There are lots of gluten-free choices in Colorado. Beau Jos is a good one. You should call them when they aren't busy and a manger might be there - like 11 a.m. Ask them if they use fresh toppings. The biggest problem with gluten-free pizzas is that they use the same cheese, sauce, etc. They smooth out a crust... -
ARCHIVED Cleaning An Oven-Is It Necessary
kareng replied to Jackie F's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
If its self cleaning, you don't need those toxic oven cleaners. Just run the cycle - it should be hot enough and long enough to burn up gluten. Then just wipe out the ashes, if there are any. -
ARCHIVED Cleaning An Oven-Is It Necessary
kareng replied to Jackie F's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
If there is something that could fall on your food, definitely. But, wouldn't you do that anyway? But, when I moved into a previously owned kitchen, I cleaned the oven, counters, fridge, bathrooms, etc. use the self cleaning cycle and wipe any ashes out after. If it doesn't have a self cleaning cycle, I would use one of those foaming oven cleaning products... -

ARCHIVED Tortilla/corn Chips?
kareng replied to GFAnnie's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
There are lots of gluten-free corn tortilla chips. Many even say gluten-free on the bag. I use Mission chips a lot. They don't make any chips but the corn ones. This is the Frito Lays list for the US Open Original Shared Link From Mission chips website: Are wheat flour tortillas produced in the same lines as corn products? No, our corn production... -
ARCHIVED How To Help Family Cope!
kareng replied to sheilaamistone's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Has he never had a bad stomach virus? Even so, The fact that you are in obvious pain should be enough for him. I have never had open heart surgery, but I understand it hurts like hell. And then there is the fact that gluten starts to damage your intestines.... I guess he won't believe that child birth hurts either? -

ARCHIVED Positive Blood Test - Didn't Even Really Notice Any Symptoms?!
kareng replied to GFAnnie's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I gave you a link to a medical center. It might be good for you to look over that site. You could post the tests and ranges and results here, too, if you would like. If your child is diagnosed with Celiac, you will want an official diagnosis. Many schools, hospitals, camps, etc will not accommodate without a note from an MD. Lots to think think about... -
ARCHIVED Positive Blood Test - Didn't Even Really Notice Any Symptoms?!
kareng replied to GFAnnie's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I would still get a copy of the blood test to make sure she did the standard ones. There are some that do not diagnose Celiac that non- MDs do. I just want you to be certain before you undertake such a big life change and take on a life- long diagnosis. -
ARCHIVED Positive Blood Test - Didn't Even Really Notice Any Symptoms?!
kareng replied to GFAnnie's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Maybe you could post what tests you had done? and the results? I'm afraid that many "naturopaths" do some unproven testing. This whole website has information form actual doctors that study and treat Celiac Disease. Open Original Shared Link -
Just want to clarify this <20 ppm. First - that is twenty parts in a million parts...so it's really small. Second- using testing at <20 ppm doesn't not mean the food has 20 ppm. It could be 19 or 2 or 0. If you used the same test on the inside of an apple, it would test as <20 ppm.

Not Eaten Gluten In 4 Years . . . Is It Safe To Now Eat Gluten Again
kareng commented on Posterboy's blog entry in Posterboy's Blog
Why don't you post this question in the forum? Maybe explain how or if you were diagnosed and a little history? This is the blog section and people don't usually answer questions over here. It Is really meant for blog entries. -
ARCHIVED To Anyone In Moab, Ut!
kareng replied to MissHaberdasher's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Are you in Utah? I don't think there is a Costco or Safeway anywhere near Moab. You could certainly stock up in a bigger city on the way. Salt Lake City has a lot of good groceries and a few gluten-free bakeries. If you are coming from that direction. -
ARCHIVED Discomfort And Pain And Ugh.
kareng replied to Snag's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I wonder if you shouldn't continue to eat gluten and see an MD to get tested for Celiac. Celiac isn't an allergy. Maybe an actual medical diagnosis would help you stay gluten free? -

ARCHIVED Is Losing A Bit Of Weight Normal At The Beginning Of Diet. I'm Already A Thin Man.
kareng replied to jay81's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
If you are eating less calories, you will lose weight. Many times people give up a few gluteny foods that are high calorie. Try adding more calories. Add some oil or butter to your veggies or chicken. If you can eat dairy - add some cheese. Eat nuts and nut butters or "seeds" and seed butters. -
