    I recently picked up some Fiorucci pepperoni paninos at the store, they are little sticks of Mozzarella wrapped in pepperoni, pretty good. The label looked okay, but I wrote them asking the gluten-free status of their products and got a reply on June 17, 2014 that all their products are gluten-free. They have salami, pepperoni, Prosciutto, pancetta, etc...

    Obviously the GFCO (circle with gluten-free on it) certification means it is below 10 PPM and only allows things like the codex wheat starch that are processed and shown to have no gluten in them (Open Original Shared Link) So.. they are probably like the McDonalds fries. Technically gluten free and okay for most of us gluten-free'ers, but on a technicality...

    Addy I am so glad things are picking up! Yesterday I made crock pot red beans and rice, and today Im making a whole chicken in the crock pot with carrots on the bottom. Will use the leftover chicken to make chicken enchiladas tomorrow!

    You are correct that her IgG ttg is hugely high. I think it is a good idea to push for further investigation of that, definitely an endoscopy if she is currently consuming gluten.

    I feel like there are plenty of other starches they could have used for the tangerine chocolates, and I purchase something else instead of buying it.

    Mmmmm cheeeeeeese!

    I, too, have joy of this nature when things are going smoothly. LOL. You are not alone in the happy poop boat!

    Those symptoms could range from anxiety, to thyroid issues, to heart issues (improbable)... really any time you feel something totally different and unexpected, if its been a bit, it is probably a good idea to go to the doctor. If you have something like a thyroid issue, better to treat it early.

    You can also check stores like TJ Maxx, Ross, and Marshalls. I got a small OXO salad spinner at TJ Maxx for I think $10, I bought a small one because it takes up less space, but if I have a lot of greens to do I have to do multiple runs. It is very nice to have. The bottom doubles as a bowl and you can use the insert as a strainer. When you are looking...

    If you replace anything first, go buy a pack of cheap spoons to replace those porous wooden spoons. There can definitely be things hiding in there.

    Hi Wendy and Welcome to the forum! I moved your post to a new topic of its own so people could answer you and the other person separately to avoid confusion. The specimen C is labeled as being from your colon, which is not where the brunt of Celiac damage is, so I am not sure about those findings. Hopefully one of our more well-read members will chime...

    I don't know how exactly the space would compare, but maybe a folding stepstool or a cheap TV tray table would be more compact and fit under seats. Either way, sorry your thread got kind of hijacked! *hugs*

    And pick the gluten-free cookie up! Also, you can make cheddar garlic biscuits with gluten-free bisquick, there is a recipe on their website. They really should be called crack biscuits.

    I have an oxo salad spinner and then if I am going to be storing the greens for a while in the fridge, I lay them out on a towel, patting them on top, and let them dry about an hour.

    I had a similar circumstance to yours. I was sent to the GI doctor for what was a problem with my gallbladder, and at my upper endoscopy I had marsh 1 damage, and on follow up bloodwork I was just high enough on the antibodies to be positive. I also have the DQ8 gene. No known family history, no outward symptoms other than barely under the low limit for...

    I understand the ability of hormonal mood swings to eat away at your willpower. You may consider meeting with a therapist to talk about what is causing you to cave... if it is just lack of willpower, or is it self-destructive in nature? If your PMS symptoms are very bad overall, and since they are interfering with your life, there are medications including...

    I heard this was coming out a while back... I wonder what the price point and scope of availability is going to be. I currently pay about a dollar per pouch for Bakery on Main oatmeal (6 count packets box) and I really like it.

    I stopped by target today and picked up a few things... got one of the annies gluten-free snack packs http://www.annies.com/products/snack-meal-kits/gluten-free-snack-kit, some talenti gelato in the butter pecan flavor, some of those wow cookies (http://www.wowbaking.com/product/chocolate-chip-cookies/ )people on here have mentioned (they are gooooooood,...

    HAHAHA! That is exactly what vision I had in my head! <.< >.> <.<

    I get dermographia, sometimes really bad like I can't rub against anything, etc. Not related to gluten, though. I find a bath with a cup of baking soda added helps with the itchy skin. I also like the cortisone liquid roller things... I get this one : Open Original Shared Link of course you can't use it all over your body, but on mild days it helps to...

    Yep, what would you have to do, torture someone with a cutting device and then roll them in flour? Okay, I need to stop this wild imagination! LOL

    I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis at the age of 17. It has not improved with diagnosis and treatment of my lupus or celiac disease. Maybe in another year or two, I am still hopeful!

    Systemically would be into your body. For example, lets say you have a skin condition like psoriasis or another condition that can give you open sores all over the body. Those open sores are now a gateway through your skin that is not normally there. At that point you really shouldn't put anything on those sore that wasn't designed to be put on them, because...

    We met up with family at a local BBQ place right after our wake up time so BBQ for breakfast, so I boxed most of my food, can't eat heavy food that early. Made myself mac and cheese later because my hubby ate mac and cheese there, I was so jealous, lol. He abstained from bread, though, for me I am tired of heavy food... was going to make breakfast for...

    Thanks for the clarification. It is a good reminder to always follow the most up to date info directly from the company.
