Sorry if this is old news to any of you- but it's new to me, so I decided to share.  This is my new favorite website about Celiac Disease.  Lots of information in a concise and easy to read format from real, live, medical professionals.  Must be nice to be a celiac in chicago with this resource!

Ohhh I like it!! It has alot of info in there!! Thanks!! Altho I don't live in Chicago. But it is nice to have some nice sites to send people to when they want to know about Celiac disease. I try and explain but sometimes they still do not get it.

Agreed, Mamaw!   People in this forum are great and so very helpful.  This site is also wonderful for many other reasons.  I also don't feel alone here ...or crazy.  I know I can post about my frustrations and people will understand.  I know I can post some bizarre thing that my body is doing and someone out there has already been-there-done-that. Invaluable feedback.

 

However, if you want to know medical facts, I would suggest going to my new fav website (as opposed to my longtime fav website): What's the medical difference between gluten intolerance and celiac, how to conduct a gluten challenge (how much and for how long), what are the genetic odds that immediate family members also have celiac, etc.  The info is provided by experts in the field and is up to date.  Just the facts ma'am.

anti-soprano because of your post I visited the Chicago site even though I use it often, and just for fun searched "DGP"  They now have this posted:

I got a positive DGP-IgG score but nothing else, and although they kind of dance around the question, it relates the test to celiac instead of gluten intolerance.  I plan on sending this link to family members.

 

Thank you!

I agree, and I think the Univ. of Chicago website is most informative site as well. Here is one I find a close second:

It is authored by a women who has Celiac and happens to be an MD ,some of her children were diagnosed as well.

KarenG, "GottaSki" Lisa and I are always posting links to the U of C website. :)

We also agree...it has the most comprehensive information in one spot.

 

I also like Tricia Thompson and Shelley Case's sites for nutritional information

and the book Real Life With Celiac Disease by Melinda Dennis

and Daniel Leffler.

Excellent Resource--covering dozens of topics written by over 50 celiac specialists.

 

And "the patient celiac" is extremely informative. Jess knows her stuff. And she graciously shares

her knowledge on various celiac-related sites as well as her own.

Yes they are all great Irish Heart , but yet I hang in here :) This is a very nice site!! I do refer to this site if and when people have questions, either they don't understand and I cannot explain , Or don't have time to explain, I just hand them a sheet of paper with the website on it. I just really like to see it from all sides from different people and such , different perspectives , different stories. But having a  site like this where you can talk and get more and more information from, trials , and tribulations. Is wonderful!! Makes me feel I am not alone in this world! And seems so much stuff comes together for me when I read some of the stuff some have to say. I visit other sites , read them , think wow that was a good site!! Then I come in here :)

We do kinda grow on ya, don't we? (like mold)

And we are wicked smart. (ahem, and humble)

:D

seriously, though.....I have always found the advice from real live celiac veterans to be the best resource there is,

next to the celiac specialists.

All of the websites that have been mentioned in this thread have been super helpful for me and my family while I am learning about my recent diagnosis. Thanks so much! I have a background in science so it's lovely to read all the scientific statistic based research as well as personal experiences.

Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      Cricket Flour Makes Really Good Gluten-Free Bread

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
