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...

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: .

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      Probiotics

      thank you for your advice.   I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated.  I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.
