Hi all

I'm new here and just wanted to pop in to say thank you for such a wonderful resource for the newly diagnosed celiac!

I was diagnosed a bit over a week ago and basically sent home to wait for a referral to dietician. I love my family doc but don't think he is up to snuff on this stuff. 

Anyways,  just wanted to say all the info here has helped me tremendously and I'm moving forward positively. This is my new reality so may as well make the most of it, right? 

I'm also blessed in that I was never a huge bread  or pasta eater,  so consider myself luckier than most.

Love your attitude - it will really help you going forward (I was you three years ago...)

Don't be surprised as time goes on if you have a lull in your fortitude.  Every once in a while I see (or smell!) a food I really miss, or have an accidental glutening that sets me back, or someone that doesn't understand my issues and thinks I'm a faddist.  I've learned to let myself have a sulk and a pity party and then move on.  

Good luck!

      The NIMA Gluten Sensor Is Back and Rebuilt for Greater Confidence

      I hope the new and improved NIMA sensor is everything this article says it is. However, I am uncomfortable with this post. I realize celiac.com has to sell advertising and have no objection with that. But this post seems a gray area where celiac.com is saying that they "reviewed and edited" the post, which implies endorsement from "a celiac disease expert...

      Italy Tests Nationwide Screening to Catch Hidden Celiac Disease in Children

      A broad screening program like this also has the potential to provide insight into the reasons why ~10% of people with HLA DQ2/DQ8 develop Celiac while the majority do not.

      Gluten Free Coffee

      @Peace lily, can you be more specific about which coffee manufacturers have told you that their coffee is probably not safe for celiacs? What you say is contrary to just about everything I find when I research this issue on the internet, even taking into account cross contamination. The exception seems to be when flavorings are added that may contain grain...

      Gluten Free Coffee

      By trents · Posted

      @Peace lily, can you be more specific about which coffee manufacturers have told you that their coffee is probably not safe for celiacs? What you say is contrary to just about everything I find when I research this issue on the internet, even taking into account cross contamination. The exception seems to be when flavorings are added that may contain grain products made from wheat, barley or rye. This individual tested numerous coffees with a Nima gluten sensor and found no issues: https://www.goodforyouglutenfree.com/is-coffee-gluten-free/. There may also be an issue with cross reactivity for some celiacs:  https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/is-coffee-safe-on-a-gluten-free-diet/ . Keep in mind that when you ask questions of food companies concerning whether or not a product is gluten free or "safe for celiacs" you may be getting an ultra-cautious response due to the fact that they are careful to cover their backsides when the product hasn't been specifically tested for gluten content or is not being marketed as such.

Went to my gastroenterologist in this past nov. said everything looks good . I am looking into coffee now and what I’ve read cross contamination is possible. I’m stumped.

      Mallorca Guide

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      You already got some great recommendations. Just want to second that Mallorca (and Spain in general) is one of the best and easiest places for celiacs to travel. I have been to Mallorca multiple times and have never experienced any cross contaminations and there are SO many easy to buy options in regular supermarkets. Hope you have a wonderful trip.
