The Glutenator

That is what I am worried about now too. I have also heard that ttg can be elevated in liver diseases too. I am just 100% I haven't been having gluten...and I live alone so no chance of cc. This is so frustrating, and I would love some answers to all this. It is hard not knowing why your body is having an immuno-freak-out.

Hello, I really need some advice, please. I was diagnosed based on elevated Ttg levels (about 53) then a positive biopsy. After 1 year on a gluten-free diet (super diligent) my levels hadn't changed at all. My doctor had me go on a whole-foods diet, and for the past 6 months I have not eaten anything processed, not even gluten-free processed foods ...

There is Udi's in the GTA! Portions in Guelph now carries it. They have 2 types of bread, muffins, bagels, and pizza crusts! They also carry tons of other gluten-free stuff, including their own fresh baking and prepared frozen meals. They have lots of Shar stuff too, which I love. So check out portions, worth the drive to Guelph for Udi's alone, plus...

Yeah, it is expensive. And I know all the American's are raving about it, but I really do like our (Canadian Pride) El Peto stuff! And Kinnikinnick too

That is right, fellow Canucks, I have found the infamous Udi's white bread, whole grain bread, and 3 types of muffins here in Canada! Portions, in Guelph, carries Udis now

Oh, these are delicious and I highly recommend them. I have made them with the kneading step and without, and didn't notice a difference between the two batches (hence this topic post ) In place of the flour I use Carol's Sorghum blend (1 1/2 c sorghum flour, 1 1/2 c corn starch, 1 c tapioca flour) and then add about 1/2 tsp xanthum gum to the recipe....

Quick question to all you excellent bakers: do you need to knead gluten-free dough that does not have yeast in it? I thought kneading either helped with the yeast or, in yeast free doughs, it activated the gluten. So if I am adapting a biscuit recipe (no yeast) and using gluten-free flour, can I omit the kneading step? Thank you! PS Had several failed...

Thanks for all the support. Maybe this guy isn't the one, but the right guy will accept me for who I am. I may not believe this right now, but if I keep it as a mantra I will soon Unfortunately until I do this hardcore whole foods thing for 6 months for the refractory testing and go for more blood work I can't eat out at all. But, in the future the gluten...

Thank you so much for your support, I really need it and it feels good. You are right, I need to just be confident with the boy...the right guy will accept me for who I am. Having him over for dinner is a good idea (hopefully not too forward too soon), and so are movies and walks. As for the restaurant, I think I'll try taking my own food, like you have...

Oh, it is "one of those weeks" for me with the celiac. I went on a second date for drinks on the weekend, after a first date for coffee (which was fine for the celiac in me). My date wanted some appetizers to snack on, and he was kind of was aware of the celiac. He wanted a pizza, but got an antipasto platter instead so I could nibble as well. It was...

My TtG, IgA is still in the 70s after 7 months on a 100% gluten-free diet :S

I asked my GI about the Immodium conundrum. He said to go ahead and take it. It makes life after glutenation more manageable, and by the time the symptoms show the damage has been done.

I am in the same position after 7 months gluten free. My Ab levels have not dropped at all, and after a second set of biospises they were all still positive; I have been 100% diligent on the diet and this is very discouraging. My doctor is having me cut out all processed foods (including ones labelled gluten free) for 6 months. If that doesn't work I...

I have been gluten free since March, so almost 7 months (and have been 100% dedicated to the diet). It is just a bit discouraging that the levels haven't dropped at all. I guess I will take out anything processed for now, and do all baking and cooking myself from scratch. When I got back for more bloodwork in 6 months, if the levels have started to come...
