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.

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.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one. "Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.
