diet Does anyone get a gluten-free diet plan from Oxfordiet?

[Aron-]

I was recently diagnosed with Celiac; my friend suggested that I get an online diet plan from Oxfordiet to treat my disease, so I want to ask anyone who has/had experience with their diet plan?

Welcome to the forum, Aron!

You don't need a particular diet plan except to eliminate gluten from your diet. But that is more challenging than people first imagine because of the myriad of ways gluten is included in the processed food supply by food companies and because of CC (Cross Contamination) issues that those new to celiac disease are typically not aware of. Here's a primer that should be helpful to you in getting a head start on the education process:

The other thing to consider is that celiacs are typically deficient in vitamins and minerals, even though they may seem to eat well. The reason is because of the damage done to the small intestine lining by the inflammation celiac diseases causes in that area. It is where essentially all nutrient absorption happens. So, celiac disease creates malabsorption issues. We recommend taking a good gluten free multivitamin combined with a high potency gluten-free B-complex. Add to that about 5000IU of D3. If you live in the US, Costco's Nature Made vitamin products are a good choice. And remember, the goal is not just to cut down on gluten but to totally eliminate it from your diet.

A quick glance at their web site indicates that they do not offer a gluten-free diet plan. They do offer a keto plan, but that's not necessarily the same. Do they make their meals in shared facilities with wheat products? It would be important to find this out.
