So with being new to this site...do we ever talk about anything else other than our illness. Not that there really is much I can think of at this particular moment in time but.. i dont know lol. Hope everyone is doing well. Back to what I know your all good at, which seems to be great advice.

If there is a list of web sites for good celiac foods could u share I can not find any to save my life. My mother is worried about me but i keep trying to assure her that im going to be alright. She doesnt really like message boards she likes chat rooms if anyone knows of a chat room could you enlighten me. Shes looking for like a list of foods that arent specialtys that can be used for both myself the celiac and herself and my brother the non-celiacs. Also I use Pantene Pro-V shampoo and conditioner are those okay to use. I use caress body soap as well. What is a good toothpaste? Im so confused there seems to be so0o much information and no so many brain cells to trap it all in lol. A list of makup and such. Also i heard of landry detergent and fabric softener.

I know there are alot of questions and i dont expect to ge tthem all answered but a start would be nice...

Everything is appreciated, Thank you!!!!

I know that alot of this is overwhelming to you as it was to me. There is alot on this site besides what you are looking at..

If you scroll down on on the opening page and scroll down, you will see a whole list of forum sites, from recipies, coping with, chat site (we tend to stay way from controversial issues though), children issues, teenage site, products and ingrediences, baking, friends and family issue site.......and so much more that just hearing us gab of celiac.

I have learned so much from this site since many of my doctors were not knowledable to celiac and I have found that most of it is here. All you have to do is ask, which you did. It could take you days and days to read through everything here and it will afford you the greated knowledge about your disease than any other place.

And to top it off, I have made some really good friends here that are some of the most caring people.

Try is out and I know that you mom will enjoy it, so she can make you some really good gluten free meals and you won't even know it. :):)

You can also do a search for toothpaste and shampoo and you will find it here

as far as mainstream products go, there are many... I have a newbie file that has a lot of that stuff in it... the Delphi forums list of mainstream gluten-free products, naturally gluten-free menu ideas and so on... if you would like this file e-mailed to you (it's a zip file) just e-mail me at nisla@comcast.net and I will send you the file ASAP. Just put "request newbie survival kit" in the subject line...

There's a message board for topics other than Celiac.

Believe it or not, we discuss many different things beside Celiac. They usually are posted in the bottom of the forum selections. We have done pet photo's, weird happenings, etc. It is really a do it all forum and most of us are very friendly and helpful. We have also had a joke thread. We do try to lighten the serious subject of Celiac. And we all need to take a break from that at times. I hope that you stay around to find out how friendly we can be and see how weird our humor can be :blink::ph34r: .

      New Research Reveals How Antibody Genes May Shape the Immune Response in Celiac Disease

      Thanks. Not a big thing, particularly because most likely it is "true" but not yet demonstrated.

      iron digestibility

      Thanks to everybody for your help. I reread the dr's notes from the biopsy procedure and it seems I had worse than atrofied villi. It was termed flattened mucosa. So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation...

      New Research Reveals How Antibody Genes May Shape the Immune Response in Celiac Disease

      Thanks for the thoughtful comment. You are right that the study’s main conclusion was cautious: the researchers found that inherited antibody-gene variants significantly shape the naïve B-cell receptor repertoire, including usage of some gene segments involved in celiac-related antibody responses, but they did not find strong evidence that polymorphisms in...

      Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

      I have osteoporosis and have crushed three vertebrae. I supplement with Lysine, Tryptophan, threonine, calcium, Boron, Vitamins D, A, and K, and the B vitamins (folate, B12, and Thiamine B1 especially for bone health). I tried Fosomax, but it tore up my insides. I prefer the supplements. I feel better and my bones feel stronger. References...

      @Aileen Cregan, I was put on high blood pressure medication, too. But I was able to correct my high blood pressure by supplementing with Thiamine Vitamin B 1. I am no longer on high blood pressure medication. I feel much better without the medication. I continue to supplement Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine. The particular high blood pressure...

      iron digestibility

      By glucel · Posted

      Thanks to everybody for your help. I reread the dr's notes from the biopsy procedure and it seems I had worse than atrofied villi. It was termed flattened mucosa. So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation of low red blood cells and insomnia so at least I finally solved that one after few yrs of being mislead. I intend to take stop taking 100 mg b1 at noon time and start 150 mg benfotiamin. I may or may not add the the 100 mg b1evening meal. BTW, last night had 1/3 lb beef. potato then 2 bowls cereal and an apple later in the eve. I generally do my areobics before supper so maybe that contributes to the hunger.

      Coeliac And Cardio Vascular Disease

      @Aileen Cregan, I was put on high blood pressure medication, too. But I was able to correct my high blood pressure by supplementing with Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  I am no longer on high blood pressure medication.  I feel much better without the medication. I continue to supplement Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine.   The particular high blood pressure medication I took was Norvasc (amlodipine), which causes thiamine deficiency by blocking thiamine transporters so that thiamine cannot enter cells.  Benfotiamine can get into cells by merging with the cell membrane, thus bypassing nonfunctional thiamine transporters.   Indapamide also blocks thiamine transporters! The use of this type of medications that block thiamine precipitated Wernickes Encephalopathy.  My doctors did not recognize the connection to Thiamine deficiency.  I nearly died.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing with Benfotiamine, a fat soluble form of thiamine that bypasses thiamine transporters.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to check your thiamine levels asap.  Routine blood tests for thiamine are not an accurate measure of  thiamine in the body.   Absorption of essential vitamins like Thiamine is altered in Celiac Disease due to damaged villi, inflammation and dysbiosis.  The Gluten Free diet can be lacking in vitamins and minerals.  Discuss supplementing with all the eight B vitamins,  the four fat soluble vitamins and necessary minerals. Please keep us posted on your progress!

      Hi, @Sue7171, I thought you might be interested in this article about Lyme disease and the discussion after the article.   I found this article enlightening.  The finding that not only can alpha gal be problematic, but advantageous infection with Staph aureus can be problematic.   The Acari Hypothesis, VII: accounting for the comorbidity of allergy with other contemporary medical conditions, especially metabolic syndrome https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11983536/
