Welcome to the world of celiac!

The next month or two will be your hardest. You need to cram in as much information on the diet as you can absorb. I would suggest reading as many posts here are you are able and that will get you off to a great start.

This diet is not that difficult, once you know what to look for.

The people here have been so wonderful in guideing me though Celiac Disease and I don't know what I would have done without everyone here.

First, start asking questions (there are no dumb question). How can we be of help.

Thank you Lisa, this is alot to take in, I did not know that shampoo and some other things I use on my outside would be bad.I have alot to learn.

Just of few things to get you started...This is what I use and is gluten free:

Dove Shampoo

Dove Soap

Burts Bees lip stick and gloss

La Choy Soy Sauce

McCorrmicks Vanila

Most of Paul Newman's Salad Dressings

Most Mayos

Heinz Katchup

All of Kraft Products will indicate ...etc.

It's alot to learn, but you can do it. And it really gets ALOT easier.

I just remember someone here offer a Celiac Starter Packet for newbies...Annette perhaps?

Don't worry, she'll post in.
