I've been gluten free for only two days and I've been really worried about how to make the correct food choices and eating out. I've read several posts tonight and my mind is at ease. Being new to the celiac world, this forum is extremely helpful.

Welcome here!

Glad you really like this place :) , it's almost like an encylcopedia of knowledge about Celiac, gluten, and its effects on the mind, body, and soul. It's a helpful place.

Need any help, fear not to ask! Most are friendly, epesically if they can steer a person from making a terrible decision and consuming gluten. :blink:

Feel free to PM me if you need.

this forum is a must for the newly diagnosed as it does contain things i personally would have never thought about excludeing from my diet. keep at it as it only gets easier to pick the thing you know are good for you and safe. everyone here is in the same boat and we all need ecouagement and some sympathy and its allways best from people who understand and KNOW what its like to live in a gluten free world. best of luck.

I spent all my free time for about three weeks after I discovered this forum, and am still often here searching and reading old posts. There is such a wealth of information. Most of my questions and concerns have been answered by and expanded on by others and I've been "saved" from the trial-and-error method of determining safe foods and brands.

I recently checked out a newly published celiac book from the library - Celiac Disease, a hidden epidemic by Peter H.R. Green, MD. (director of the Celiac Disease Center and Columbia Univ.) and Rory Jones (a science writer of health and medical topics). After reading through it I found that I knew very nearly everything written in the book, and then some (okay, there were a few things I didn't know already). By the way, celiac.com was mentioned in the authors' list of references.

Welcome! You've found the best place to be. Very very helpful and informative. Keep reading and learning, and realize there could be some ups and downs...but you will stabilize and will feel so much better. And seriously, I think most people on this board who've been here any length of time know more than DOCTORS - - doctors don't live it, WE do.

Keep reading and learnign and you'll do great. :)

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging.

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results.  Thank you
