  1. Ortega Taco Sauce Original Thick and Smooth is gluten-free--I don't use seasonings--I just use the sauce.
  2. Well, if you have DH, you must have celiac...they go hand-in-hand--you can have celiac and not dh, but you can't have dh without celiac. So that seems strange...anyway...did you mention the possibility of IgA deficiency? Because the IgG is positive....
  3. Normal Bloodtest Results Antigliadin IgA -- Less than 18 Antigliadin IgG -- Less than 24 EMA -- Reads positive or negative tTg IgA -- Less than 13 tTg IgG -- Less than 30 Also, certain tests are more accurate than others--in terms of: if a certain test is positive, it means that you likely have it, where as another test, which isn't as accurate...
  4. A few things: - It's completely worth it. It took me a year to feel healthy, but I've never felt this good in my life. I'm gaining weight, and not having the symptoms of vomiting, abdominal cramping, diarrhea, gas, bloating, etc. Additionally, if you do in fact have celiac and do not follow the diet, you could face severe consequences: osteoporosis...
  5. You can e-mail for the word or adobe file--I also have both so I'd forward it--it might just be easier to e-mail Melonie (Open Original Shared Link)
  6. These are the results for Georgia at the celiac.com support group list for the US: I know there must be more than this--especially since I would say the two states that have the most people here are Georgia and California. Someone else will probably have more suggestions.
  7. Just out of interest, for which test were you at 5 (IgA, IgG)? I have a book here--that I just got two weeks ago--it says that the following are normal antibodies (and you're in the normal range): Antigliadin IgA -- Less than 18 Antigliadin IgG -- Less than 24 EMA -- Reads positive or negative tTg IgA -- Less than 13 tTg IgG -- Less than...
  8. I've been drinking various flavors of V8 Splash since diagnosis....I strongly dislike vegetables, but do enjoy these drinks--more fruity than the original V8, too Yes--I love lists --gluten-free food lists, but also lists for everything else: homework, etc. ....I think I got my list-loving/organization from my mom
  9. I know I'm really picky about these articles--probably unfairly, as the author might not understand celiac as well if he/she don't have it. But the little things bother me: the "are you eating wheat-free...you're not alone" thing at the beginning for a few reasons: 1) It's also rye, barley, and all forms of these ingredients (malt, spelt, triticum, etc....
  10. I do the same thing, Jessica...the "Are your fries cooked in separate oil from the nuggets?" thing..... It's a risk to eat out--but eating out anywhere is a risk. I will eat at McDonalds, but would never eat at some of the other fastfood chains, such as Wendys and Burger King.
  11. I also use Skippy and Jif
  12. Lol...sorry, I have a lot for the US, but nothing for Canada.
  13. I'm not a doctor, but I think those are good results. It takes awhile for the levels to come down.
  14. Oh, cool ...thanks for posting. I love lists
  15. You can't find a perfect gluten-free bread, but the best two are Kinnickinick and the Ener-G tapioca loaf.
  16. I don't need to say much else. You can e-mail the creator of this list (see below) to get it in Adobe or Word format. Of course, always confirm w/ the manufacturer:
  17. Thanks for the list! I haven't eaten them in months and I'd love to
  18. Envirokids makes some very good cereals.
  19. Great site....thank you for posting this and providing a link to your recipe, Catfish.
  20. Yes--Without commenting on whether it needs to be used in all circumstances or not, it is good to have such an option available.
  21. I just saw the end of your post about logging in--hit reply, and got nailed with flood control ...it doesn't bother me...I'm used to it: That happens to me too. At home, I have my log in remembered, so I can just pull up the message board and start posting, rather than log in every time. At other computers, though, I have the same thing happen...
  22. Oh, I get that all the time...I open too many topics and post too quickly. I just wait ten seconds or so (since you don't really have to wait 20) and then refresh/reload the page. I think that might be some way to keep people from posting too much too fast...so that, I guess, if there was someone spamming the boards, they'd get tied up every now and then...
  23. From when I last checked, they only have two gluten-free bars: the two I mentioned. I've heard of some other form of a Genisoy bar that's gluten-free...like "Genisoy Extreme" or something...don't remember the name--but I've never seen the variation. I'm unsure about dedicated lines. I love PB also, so I love the bar.
  24. Sure . That sounds like the right mindset, though--most people are so reluctant to start the gluten-free diet. I think it...sort of helps to have symptoms from gluten, as painful and disruptive they are, because they give you a very noticable incentive to be gluten free and you know when you make a mistake. A month will go by pretty quickly though, so...
  25. The Nacho Cheesier Doritos (red bag) aren't gluten-free. The blue bag, Cool Ranch, is...but I've never had it, either.
