I will suspect I've found a new gluten-free product on the shelf, but not quit sure. So I look for a 1-800 # on the package and call it right on the spot while standing in the middle of the aisle (I love cell phones) and ask the rep if this product is gluten-free.

Its really amazing how helpful some of this people are! Thats how I found out about Mahatma Yellow rice w/ zaffron, ummmm boy! Love that stuff! Did the same with Prego traditional Spagetti sauce. the Prego people, who are really campbells soup, took my address right there and sent me a whole list of there gluten-free products. Most probably already know this, But it you don't, don't be shy, give um a call.

First of all for those of you who do not have the Delfi List of Gluten Free Product (listed by named brands), you need to have this downloaded onto your computer.

Second, I spend about an hour and half at the grocery store. It has come to one of the things that I enjoy, because it is a challange. I read and read. Only through education, will we get through this. There are actually so many things that we can have that are gluten free. I know that many of you do not have to time to dedicate for shopping. I am fortunate to do so.

I am a firm believer in McCormicks seasonings. I still read the lables because it is too much to inject into this brain fogged mind, to remember many of the items that I have seen on this site. I love seasoned foods and I feel that I cook fairly well.

McCormicks Seasonings

LaChoy Soy Sauce

Tamari (wheat Free) - the best

Emerils (some gluten-free)

Annie's Roasted Pepper Salad Dressing..........are all my staples for good cooking

Tonight's Dinner: Beef Stew with Liptons Onion Dry Mix, beef, carrotts and potatoes. Salad on the side.

I love the grocery store.........it's like a treasure hunt...challenging and a learning experience combined. :):):)

I just learned that 2 foods that I used to love, and thought that I had to give up, were safe! Thanks! Mahatma Saffron Rice and Lipton Dry Onion Soup Mix! I ordered the $30 gluten-free product catalog from this site, but have not looked through everything as there is just too much in it. Never thought that I would be saying that!

Nettiebeads and Karen:

Wow!! :D

It has only been since August that I was screaming for help here on the site. It is hard to believe how much you can learn in this short of time. I couldn't have done it without all of you.

There are so many new names here that I would like to know. I am not so good with the technical part of the disease, but I can sure help others get started and show how well you can eat and avoid gluten.

Thanks for all of your shoulders

Karen - your picture portrays your personality, beautiful.

I am not at all familiar with the delphi list? Sounds like I am missing something, which is no surprise. I was diagnosed in June '05 and this is my first time ever chatting! Please send me the list.

thanks

It's a 79-page list of gluten-free foods updated by the members of a board hosted by Delphiforums.com (under the health and wellness section go to the first celiac forum you see). I'll send it to you, though.

I'm pretty new to all this too - just since October. There is also another resource that I just bought - The CSA Gluten-Free Product Listing. It is almost 400 pages and is around $30. I ordered it from:

They also have other resources - a new patient packet that is free.

Anyone else buy this book or utilize this website?

I got the list, celiac3270! Thanks a million!!

I still pick up things I KNOW are not gluten free and think... maybe THIS time it will be... hahaha.

I'm so lucky that those who love me also can and do read ingredients before they buy them to cook with.

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By Anmol · Posted

      Thanks this is helpful. Couple of follow -ups- that critical point till it stays silent is age dependent or dependent on continuing to eat gluten. In other words if she is on gluten-free diet can she stay on silent celiac disease forever?    what are the most cost effective yet efficient test to track the inflammation/antibodies and see if gluten-free is working .

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the community forum, @Anmol! There are a number of blood antibody tests that can be administered when diagnosing celiac disease and it is normal that not all of them will be positive. Three out of four that were run for you were positive. It looks pretty conclusive that you have celiac disease. Many physicians will only run the tTG-IGA test so I applaud your doctor for being so thorough. Note, the Immunoglobulin A is not a test for celiac disease per se but a measure of total IGA antibody levels in your blood. If this number is low it can cause false negatives in the individual IGA-based celiac antibody tests. There are many celiacs who are asymptomatic when consuming gluten, at least until damage to the villous lining of the small bowel progresses to a certain critical point. I was one of them. We call them "silent" celiacs".  Unfortunately, being asymptomatic does not equate to no damage being done to the villous lining of the small bowel. No, the fact that your wife is asymptomatic should not be viewed as a license to not practice strict gluten free eating. She is damaging her health by doing so and the continuing high antibody test scores are proof of that. The antibodies are produced by inflammation in the small bowel lining and over time this inflammation destroys the villous lining. Continuing to disregard this will catch up to her. While it may be true that a little gluten does less harm to the villous lining than a lot, why would you even want to tolerate any harm at all to it? Being a "silent" celiac is both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing in the sense of being able to endure some cross contamination in social settings without embarrassing repercussions. It's a curse in that it slows down the learning curve of avoiding foods where gluten is not an obvious ingredient, yet still may be doing damage to the villous lining of the small bowel. GliadinX is helpful to many celiacs in avoiding illness from cross contamination when eating out but it is not effective when consuming larger amounts of gluten. It was never intended for that purpose. Eating out is the number one sabotager of gluten free eating. You have no control of how food is prepared and handled in restaurant kitchens.

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum community, @ekelsay! Yes, your tTG-IGA score is strongly positive for celiac disease. There are other antibody tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease but the tTG-IGA is the most popular with physicians because it combines good sensitivity with good specificity, and it is a relatively inexpensive test to perform. The onset of celiac disease can happen at any stage of life and the size of the score is not necessarily an indicator of the progress of the disease. It is likely that you you experienced onset well before you became aware of symptoms. It often takes 10 years or more to get a diagnosis of celiac disease after the first appearance of symptoms. In my case, the first indicator was mildly elevated liver enzymes that resulted in a rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross at age 37. There was no GI discomfort at that point, at least none that I noticed. Over time, other lab values began to get out of norm, including decreased iron levels. My PCP was at a complete loss to explain any of this. I finally scheduled an appointment with a GI doc because the liver enzymes concerned me and he tested me right away for celiac disease. I was positive and within three months of gluten free eating my liver enzymes were back to normal. That took 13 years since the rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross. And my story is typical. Toward the end of that period I had developed some occasional diarrhea and oily stool but no major GI distress. Many celiacs do not have classic GI symptoms and are "silent" celiacs. There are around 200 symptoms that have been associated with celiac disease and many or most of them do not involve conscious GI distress. Via an autoimmune process, gluten ingestion triggers inflammation in the villous lining of the small bowel which damages it over time and inhibits the ability of this organ to absorb the vitamins and minerals in the food we ingest. So, that explains why those with celiac disease often suffer iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiency related medical issues. The villous lining of the small bowel is where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. So, yes, anemia is one of the classic symptoms of celiac disease. One very important thing you need to be aware of is that your PCP may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the results of the blood antibody testing. So, you must not begin gluten free eating until that is done or at least you know they are going to diagnose you with celiac disease without it. If you start gluten free eating now there will be healing in the villous lining that will begin to take place which may compromise the results of the biopsy.

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By Anmol · Posted

      Hello all- my wife was recently diagnosed with Celiac below are her blood results. We are still absorbing this.  I wanted to seek clarity on few things:  1. Her symptoms aren't extreme. She was asked to go on gluten free diet a couple years ago but she did not completely cut off gluten. Partly because she wasn't seeing extreme symptoms. Only bloating and mild diarrhea after a meal full of gluten.  Does this mean that she is asymptomatic but enormous harm is done with every gram of gluten.? in other words is amount gluten directly correlated with harm on the intestines? or few mg of gluten can be really harmful to the villi  2. Why is she asymptomatic?  3. Is Gliadin X safe to take and effective for Cross -contamination or while going out to eat?  4. Since she is asymptomatic, can we sometimes indulge in a gluten diet? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deamidated Gliadin, IgG - 64 (0-19) units tTG IgA -  >100 (0-3) U/ml tTG IgG - 4   (0-5) Why is this in normal range? Endomysial Antibody - Positive  Immunoglobulin A - 352 (87-352) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for help in advance, really appreciate!
