After 3 years of this, I have put together a large zip file of lists and articles that are very helpful to the newly diagnosed celiac.

If you are interested in having a copyof this survival kit e-mailed to you

PLEASE E-MAIL ME AT nisla@comcast.net

in the subject line put "Request Newbie Survival Kit"

this is a large file and it's just helpful stuff I have compiled over the past three years. It includes the Delphi list and several Restaurant menus, School supplies, Candy, articles, information that you can print out and share with others to help explain this diet and the reason for it.

If you have a cable modem it will be a fairly quick download, but if you are on dial up, be prepared to let it sit for a while!

disclaimer:

I did not come up with this info all by myself, I've compiled it with the help of other helpful celiacs over the past two years, and it's all been helpful to me. Also, this file is just a guideline, as always you will need to make your own decision on what works for you and what doesn't.

also, it's a zip file so you will need a program like pk unzip to open it... or any program that opens up archived files.

Lister, I thought I already sent you this... But maybe it was just the delphi lists... I'll send it again.

What is the Delphi list?

I suppose so, just e-mail me at nisla@comcast.net and in the subject put "request newbie survival kit" and I'll send it... and you can judge for yourself if it's useful for a Canadian...

Nisla, I am a New Zealander, (have only been diagnosed since February) so not too sure how much of the kit would be useful, but would like to have it sent to me.

The gluten free forum has been a life saver and wonderful to follow, and I am getting to feel I know quite a few of you all.

Your picture is a bit scary, but hey you obviously have a heart of gold. And when I see your picture with your piece of advise it is comforting.

I must admit that when first diagnosed, I thought coeliac would be a piece of cake, and that with everybody saying to watch this and watch that, I thought they were being a bit too severe. But hey, everybody was right, and I do have to be that careful. I never would've thought I would 've been so sensitive. Most of my immediate family have cast iron stomachs, and I was so used to having quite good health, apart from the diahrea. But now I have arrived here to where any little bit of gluten manages to keep me grounded for a few days, it is quite scary.

This sight is proving to me that I am now on the right track for me, trying to eliminate all manufactured products, and start mostly from scratch. I don't need the treats, as they are not always weight friendly, and I do carry a bit of excess weight. But sometimes I tend to push the boundaries, and that is when I get unstuck, and get to know the loo intimately again, but I am determined to get past that.

I'm quite proud to say, last night was my first dining out in a restuarant for a few months, it was my 49th birthday, and I am happy to say, I survived without any reactions what-so-ever, but I did push boundaries, luckily nothing untoward happened.

Thanks again Nisla.

      To play it safe, use Vasoline Lip Therapy. No questions as to it containing gluten.

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next. We can keep seeing DR.s and hope that we will get some medication or advice that will improve our health. Or we can go looking for other ways to improve our health. Usually Celiac Disease is...

      It's unfortunate that they won't work with you on this, but in the end sometimes we have to take charge of our own health--which is exactly what happened to me. I did finally get the tests done, but only after years of going down various rabbit holes and suffering. Just quitting gluten may be the best path for you at this point.

      My doctor didn't take the time to listen to anything. I don't even think she knows what it means. She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady...

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing  more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next. We can keep seeing DR.s and hope that we will get some  medication or advice that will improve our health. Or we can go looking for other ways to improve our health. Usually Celiac Disease is not a killer disease, it is a disabling disease as  you have found out. You have time to find some ways to help you recover. Stay on your gluten-free diet and be more careful in avoiding cross contamination . KnittyKitty  and others here can give you advice about avoiding some foods that can give you the gluten auto immune reaction and advice about vitamins and supplement that help celiacs. You may need to take higher doses of Vit. B12  and D3.  About 20 years before a Dr. suggested I might have Celiac disease I had health problems that all other Dr said they could not identify or treat. I was very opposed to alternative providers and treatments. So many people were getting help from a local healer I decided to try that out. It was a little helpful but then, because I had a good education in medical laboraties she gave me a book  to read and what did I think. With great skeptism I started reading and before I was half way through it I began using the methods outlined in the book. Using those herbs and supplements I went from hardly able to work to being able to work almost fulltime. I still use that program. But because I had undiagnosed celiac disease by 10 years later some  of my problems returned and I started to loose weight.    So how does a person find a program that will benefit them? Among the programs you can find online there are many that are snake oil scams and some that will be beneficial. by asking around, as I did. Is there an ND in your area? Do they reccomend that person? If you would like to read about the program I use go to www.drclark.net

She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady didn't even know what she was talking about and said "they never turn out as celiac, they usually just say it's dermatitis so here's your meds," just like my regular quack. I'm trying to change insurance companies at the moment and that has been a battle because of red tape, wrong turns, and workers having wrong phone numbers. What a joke! The allergy blood days say I have a wheat allergy of .31. Hopefully it's just that and until I find a decent doctor and dermatologist, I'll just lay off the wheat anyway, since it gives me asthma, high blood sugar, and joint pain. So frustrated at this point. The rash on my back of arms/elbows is mostly gone. Both calves and chest have started up. smh. It comes and goes. It fades faster now, though, although my forearms still produce one or two bumps on each side. The itching has calmed down a lot except for the bump area. I have dry skin to begin with so anything affecting it just makes it crazy. i'm never going to eat wheat again. I don't care if they need it to produce results or if it is just an intolerance, allergy, or celiac. It gives me hell.

      I had the test done by one of the specialist through second pcp I had only a few months because he was saying I wasn't.Even though Im positive HLA-DQ2 .My celiac is down played.I am with new pcp, seeing another girl doctor who wants to do another breathe test next month though Im positive sibo this year.I have high blood pressure not sure if its pain from sciatica or sibo, ibs or hidden gluten. Im in disability limbo and I should have never been a bus driver because im still suffering and trying to heal with zero income except for my husband. This isnt fare that my health is dictating my living and having ti beg for being revalidation of my disregarded celiac disease. Its an emotional roller coaster I don't want to be on and the medical made it worse.New pcp new gi, exhausted, tired and really fed up. GI doctor NOT girl..
