ARCHIVED Is Cavender's Greek Seasoning gluten-free?
kledford replied to mommyto2kids's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I was told when I called that because they out source some of the ingredients they couldn't say it was gluten-free. They did tell me the salt free version was gluten-free and even sent me a few small samples. -
I am not very familiar with the testing after diagnosis but my dr called today and said my levels for my TG were 2 and m Iga was 95, can anyone interpret this for me? I am asymptomatic celiac so I requested these tests to see if my levels had dropped and initially my tTg was 43 so I know that is a good sign but I am not sure how to interpret the Iga or...

I too thought it was a great response, he gave me a lot of options and it he was very thorough!! I did eat there tonight and it was great! I was comfortable to order and knew what to expect...They are mostly in Alabama and Georgia but they have a few locations in COlorado...this is from their website www.nicknjims.com.

ARCHIVED Word Of Caution At Pf Changs
kledford replied to CaraLouise's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I don't understand why PF Changs has to use tofu with gluten/wheat in it...if they try so hard to offer gluten-free items why not switch over toGF soy sauce and gluten-free tofu and not worry about having to stock 2 items or worry if someone gets it by accident....it would also allow more items for people that already have a limited selection....just my opinion... -

ARCHIVED What Does The Gene Test Mean?
kledford replied to paperbagprincess's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have heard that there is an at home DNA "genetic" test that you can order, swab and send off for results and the cost is reasonable......I will try to get the name and post it for you. I have not used it myself but have considered it for my children to rule out celiac....their blood tests were negative at this time but I would like to know if they carry... -

I hve to agree with the above posts, I don't think a colon cleanse is natural and it disrupts what is already trying to neutralize itself, why make it barren and flora free? Just my opinion though

Ok, so since May 1st I have been gluten-free...well yesterday I made the mistake of buying the wrong MI-DEL gingersnaps from the Healthfood store and after eating 2 1/2 cookies I happened to glance and ORGANIC NOT gluten-free! So I think ok, well brace yourself and put your day on hold.....reaction time! Well, nothing happened...and still hasn't. None of...

I was diagnosed May 2011 because of low iron and low proteins, I have not really noticed the other symptoms that i have read about (thankfully).

ARCHIVED I was diagnosed with Celiac
kledford replied to kim-11's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi Kim, I too am new to this, diagnosed in May and still have a lot to learn....I know that if you go to walmart or publix online they offer a shopping list of all the gluten free items in their store. Also, Publix has a gluten-free on the shelf label where the price is and that is helpful. I know that eating out is hard, I know I can have a couple of things... -

Maybe but I do look at pizza, cake, a HAMBURGER from a fast food place with a nice soft bun and know I can NEVER have one again and...
