hi i post hear a few weeks ago saying they were waiting for the hand count of my daughters biopsys. after an abnormal count was found in the first instance. well on the hand count they found the same, and with her symptoms; sleepy, diorea (although not all the time) reluctance to eat (so is tube fed) she had a fundoplication operation (so the could close her tummy so she could not vomit up wards anymore, diagnosed as server gastrophical reflux) and the fact that even with neocate formular pumped into her every night, she is just reached 9kgs at 2 1/2yrs!!! they have decided she probably has celiac. they have now taken a blood test, to check for antibodies as well.

so we are going on a gluten free diet! which would be fine.............but i have just moved with the family to germany, and don´t speak or read a word! (learning but german is so hard!!!!!) so how the hell do i read what she can and can not have!! i have an apointment with the dietican in a week as family are coming out next tuesday so i can go and get lists of words and talk though things! but what do i do till then?

just thought i would let you guys know as i promiced i would get back to you!

just a few quick questions..... if you don´t mind

does this have to be so gluten free that i have to completely even down to giving my son a bisuit and then geting emma a gluten free one, at the same time be extreamly carefull? and work surfaces do they need to be seperate? what about kitchen equipment? i have been told these things by friends but am not sure if this is going totally over the top!! or is it ?

i have no idear, what about buying meat do i have to ask for gluten free? i have been told this to! as you can see i have know idear what i am doing! and also silly one.... but again it is in german can she have heinz tomato sauce because she is going to ask for it tonight as after the operation it helps her to swallow?

sorry everyone feel like i am swimming in the ocean at the moment and have know idear how far i need to take the gluten restiction to! and any one by any chance got an ingredients list that she can not have in german! i know it is not likely but thought i would ask just in case!

thanks for any help

I would encourage you to talk to your doctor (I presume you're dealing with one in Germany) and find a local support group. With the number of people over there who seemed to speak English when I visited, chances are, at least one person in the support group will speak English, and can help translate for you.

There are also all sorts of web sites, some may be free, that translate languages. Just google german to english translators. All sorts of web sites pop up. Good luck. It should be a short enough list you need to memorize.

For the time being you could always order your groceries online until you can figure out the German labels. Here are two websites:

Yeah, you have to keep work places separate and have separate condiment jars. I suggest buying meats, vegetables, plain rice, fruits, ect in Germany and I agree with Aziah that maybe you could purchase gluten-free foods online until you learn some German. Here are some more websites:

I believe that Heinz tomatoe sauce is fine in Canada, but I don't know about other countries.

I'm in Holland, not Germany, but heinz tomato sauce is gluten free here, and I think it's the same in germany, too.

I'll have a look around if i can find some info about gluten free foods in Germany...

There was only one page of info in English, but I think your best bet would be to contact them. I'm sure they could put you in touch with someone locally who speaks English and can help with shopping in the beginning.

In the meanwhile, plain unprocessed fruit, veggies, meat, fish, eggs...

Hope this helps!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.
