I'm assuming by new that you not only mean new to the board but newly dx'ed correct? The board is pretty simple, pretty self explanatory, and the diet/lifestyle isn't so hard once you get used to it.

I have a newbie survival kit that I can e-mail to you if you like, just e-mail me at nisla@comcast.net and in the subject put "request newbie survival kit"

welcome to the board

Welcome to the board. I'd recommend taking a few hours to look around this board. You'll start learning pretty quickly, especially if you read the message board. Print out the list of things you can and cannot eat, then head into the kitchen and toss (or mark it as containing gluten if you live with others) all the stuff you can't have. Start calling companies if you're not sure. Check out your hair products and makeup, too. Then go to a health food store and buy a bunch of gluten free bread and crackers and stuff. They are more expensive than wheat-based products and it will take you a while to find the brands you like (trust me, I ate a lot of bad tasting cookies before I found ones I liked).

You'll make a ton of mistakes in the beginning, but nothing makes you figure things out faster than getting sick. If you have specific questions, feel free to post! Good luck!
