I love the bread from Sinfully Gluten Free Bakery in Dayton (Miamisburg) . To me the frozen breads are so dry. I order the bread online from Sinfully GF when I can’t get up there and it’s not that expensive to ship—plus its fresh. I keep it in the refrig and it lasts pretty long time. (The other goodies are good too) They also sell it at Dorothy Lane Market in Springboro
I agree with you Renee ... Sinfully Gluten Free has the best bread!
I have a question ... is Jello gluten free?
I really liked the Sami’s bread and had no problems with it, but my son got sick twice once from the bread and another after the pizza crust. We like Sinfully GF as well or the whole foods bread.
All of the jello we have made/had is GF we use jello brand.
We also recently discovered GF Pantry's spice cake & gingerbread mix. I found it at Susan's World in Anderson Township. It made the whole house smell yummy and was delicious. I had to use an egg substitute so my other daughter could eat it and it worked great. It would also make a great base for a coffee cake. Next time I'll add a brown sugar topping.

| really, the glue on envelopes is not GF? I have never heard that before. My daughter uses envelopes quite often, but she usually is not very sensitive to very small amts of gluten. I'll have to tell her to start using a sponge. Thanks! --- On Fri, 1/8/10, Anne Rolfert <arol...@yahoo.com> wrote: |
I just had some really good hamburger buns when I was down in Texas
and am going to see if the Hyde Park Biggs or Whole Foods will order
some of this brand for me. I was worried that it was not really GF as
the buns were soft and didn't crumble at all, but they are. The brand
is O'Dough's and is made in Canada.

am still not going to pursue the endoscopic test, but think that I might just try the gluten free diet and see if his symptoms go away, knowing about the risk of false negatives on the blood test.

There are still many people who discontinue foods to find what they are allergic too and then discontinue eating those foods permanently; also, the past generations (like my father) did the same thing. I fail to see why people can’t do that today; yes it is good to have the endoscopic exam if you seem to continue having problems after eating gluten free for three months, just in case there is something else wrong with the gut. In my case I had the blood test(to start because a family member had the disease), then an endoscopic exam to see if there was something else going on because my symptoms were not the typical Celiac Disease Symptoms and I was having lots and lots of trouble(and the dr. did find reflux, and a couple other things going on), then I was told to go on the diet(to treat the Celiac Disease) and the other problems were treated also for six months, and then another endoscopic exam to see if the gut was healing; it was!! Then the dr. recommended a blood test once a year to make sure that I was staying on the diet because I continue to have problems. My blood tests are always in the normal range but not the lowest number which the dr. says is because I am getting traces of gluten in my diet. My point is it takes more than one test sometimes and sometimes a person does fine if they just change their eating habits. I think each person has to decide for himself/herself what the best route might be for his/her stomach. You almost have to see a dr. that you trust and who seems to understand Celiac Disease. I really don’t think there is any dr. who understands completely unless he has the disease himself/herself. I am waiting to meet the dr. who has Celiac Disease to come forth and write a book on the disease!!! You would think there would be at least one in this country since there are so many people with the disease.
Good to know. I have seen it in print several times that envelopes can contain gluten. It is really hard to know what to trust.

Gluten in envelope glue is an old wives' tale. Please read the following from the magazine Gluten Free Living:
Well, if you put your child on the diet and the symptoms all disappear that is a pretty good clue that gluten is the problem. You could put him/her back on gluten and see how they do and that would be even more proof. I hate going through any test especially the scope, but like you say it will tell the dr. if the stomach is damaged from gluten especially the area where he takes the tissue from. There is so much more to learn about this disease; I hope lots of money will go into research on it.
My daughter was diagnosed through blood test and endoscope prior to her 3rd birthday. My son began presenting similar symptoms before his second birthday. His first blood test (a little after 1 year old) came back normal. About 9 months later, it was extremely high. Based on his symptoms, hisblood work, and family history we opted out of putting him under anesthesia and going through a scope.

I did not realize a blood test was conclusive. I was under the impression that an endoscope and/or genetic testing was the only way to conclusively tell.
What have people done with regards to their children since an endoscope can be invasive. -- |

I think the doctors feel the blood test is pretty accurate, but it is still not conclusive without the biopsy. Our GI doctor said it was the only way to verify the CD was with the biopsy so we had it done when my son was almost 4. It was definite and they sent us home that day telling us to change his diet immediately. We met with the nutritionist 10 days later which was not very helpful. They gave us the CSA book and some general dated info. I hope there is better info now. As someone else said it would be nice if there was a doctor and nutritionist that really understood CD to go to.

I did not realize a blood test was conclusive. I was under the impression that an endoscope and/or genetic testing was the only way to conclusively tell.
I got my blood test results 2 days before my endoscopy was scheduled. My blood work came back positive for celiac , but my biopsy came back negative. I believe with the blood work they are looking to see if a particular antibody is present in your blood. My GI doctor said to go with the blood test results. I have been gluten free for almost two years now, and I can definitely tell a difference in my energy level (low iron was what prompted my testing). I have seen copies of my lab work from right before I was diagnosed and 1 year after I was diagnosed, and all of my vitamin/mineral levels have definitely gone up. I think doctors’ opinions are very subjective on this issue, as to what they think is a conclusive diagnosis.
