newby to celiac?'s Blog

Based on what I am reading in the discussion boards, when people start to feel better is uniqe to each person and may depend on how much damage has occured. I think everyone will tell you to persist with the diet. Also, cross contamination can be an issue if you have regular eaters in your household or if you eat out much. There is also hidden gluten in alot of foods you wouldn't suspect. You may have been diligent about checking into everything, but sometimes we got caught unawares with something like a spice or tomatoe sauce. I have also heard a lot of other people indicate that they need to cut out dairy for the first while as well until everything heals.

Hopefully you start feeling well soon!!

Newby,Hi, I know how you feel I was just diagnoised with celiac disease. Its like what do you eat or not eat. I went to the library and checked out some books. The best book I 'm ready is ABC'S OF GOURMET GLUTEN-FREE FAMILY LIVING AUTHOR IS DAPHNE G. PETTERS. Its like trial and era with food. In some people it depends on the damaged that has already took effect in our bodies. Wish you well. I have been on the diet since feb 13th. Still having problems. I tell myself don't give up
