Best Gluten Free List?

I have now had my biopsy after positive blood test results so am trying to go gluten free to start to be able to eat more than apple sauce again... I am wondering what the best resource is for listing what "regular foods" (and even hygiene products, etc.) are gluten free and which are not. I would like something to give me a starting list as I learn how to spot the not so obvious sources of gluten. Any suggestions of books, mail order lists, internet downloads, etc. would be great! Thanks!

Hi. My son was diagnosed just 3 months ago. It hasn't been easy, but this site has made life bearable again. I haven't bought any lists yet, but I have bought cookbooks. I bought all of Bette Hagman's cookbooks, and they were okay. Her bean flour breads have a wonderful consistency but a horrible flavor. So we just buy our breads from Kinnickinnick. I've yet to find a good commercial bread mix for the expensive bread mix we invested in. I am very pleased, however, with Annalise Roberts' cookbook. Her recipes are so fantastic that they even appear in Gourmet Magazine. Just made her chocolate chip cookies (which Gourmet Magazine praised highly) and I've gotta tell you, there's no way you can distinguish these from regular Toll House cookies! Good luck!

hkenner-

there are several lists around. one is the delphi forum list, compiled by fellow celiacs. you can view their gluten-free food lists here: Open Original Shared Link i will say i often double check the items on this list myself...but it serves as a good guide. i printed this list off and put in a binder i keep at home.

another list is the clan thompson food list. it is a software you purchase and you install on your computer or palm pilot. it is updated with new products every few months. this list has been well worth it for me, b/c it is on my palm pilot, i have it wherever i go, and it has come in handy MANY times at the grocery store. you can download a demo if you just want to try it first. view it here: Open Original Shared Link

there is also the list that CSA puts out. i honestly never purchased that one, so someone else can speak to that...

:)

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
