I will suspect I've found a new gluten-free product on the shelf, but not quit sure. So I look for a 1-800 # on the package and call it right on the spot while standing in the middle of the aisle (I love cell phones) and ask the rep if this product is gluten-free.

Its really amazing how helpful some of this people are! Thats how I found out about Mahatma Yellow rice w/ zaffron, ummmm boy! Love that stuff! Did the same with Prego traditional Spagetti sauce. the Prego people, who are really campbells soup, took my address right there and sent me a whole list of there gluten-free products. Most probably already know this, But it you don't, don't be shy, give um a call.

First of all for those of you who do not have the Delfi List of Gluten Free Product (listed by named brands), you need to have this downloaded onto your computer.

Second, I spend about an hour and half at the grocery store. It has come to one of the things that I enjoy, because it is a challange. I read and read. Only through education, will we get through this. There are actually so many things that we can have that are gluten free. I know that many of you do not have to time to dedicate for shopping. I am fortunate to do so.

I am a firm believer in McCormicks seasonings. I still read the lables because it is too much to inject into this brain fogged mind, to remember many of the items that I have seen on this site. I love seasoned foods and I feel that I cook fairly well.

McCormicks Seasonings

LaChoy Soy Sauce

Tamari (wheat Free) - the best

Emerils (some gluten-free)

Annie's Roasted Pepper Salad Dressing..........are all my staples for good cooking

Tonight's Dinner: Beef Stew with Liptons Onion Dry Mix, beef, carrotts and potatoes. Salad on the side.

I love the grocery store.........it's like a treasure hunt...challenging and a learning experience combined. :):):)

I just learned that 2 foods that I used to love, and thought that I had to give up, were safe! Thanks! Mahatma Saffron Rice and Lipton Dry Onion Soup Mix! I ordered the $30 gluten-free product catalog from this site, but have not looked through everything as there is just too much in it. Never thought that I would be saying that!

Nettiebeads and Karen:

Wow!! :D

It has only been since August that I was screaming for help here on the site. It is hard to believe how much you can learn in this short of time. I couldn't have done it without all of you.

There are so many new names here that I would like to know. I am not so good with the technical part of the disease, but I can sure help others get started and show how well you can eat and avoid gluten.

Thanks for all of your shoulders

I am not at all familiar with the delphi list? Sounds like I am missing something, which is no surprise. I was diagnosed in June '05 and this is my first time ever chatting! Please send me the list.

It's a 79-page list of gluten-free foods updated by the members of a board hosted by Delphiforums.com (under the health and wellness section go to the first celiac forum you see). I'll send it to you, though.

I'm pretty new to all this too - just since October. There is also another resource that I just bought - The CSA Gluten-Free Product Listing. It is almost 400 pages and is around $30. I ordered it from:

Open Original Shared Link

They also have other resources - a new patient packet that is free.

Anyone else buy this book or utilize this website?

I got the list, celiac3270! Thanks a million!!

I still pick up things I KNOW are not gluten free and think... maybe THIS time it will be... hahaha.

I'm so lucky that those who love me also can and do read ingredients before they buy them to cook with.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result. I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?

I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease...

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
