Oh yes, the "Herb Thyme" health food store has plenty of baking products (like flour, chocolate, etc...) and "Wiseway Grocery Store" has a wonderful health food store inside with lots of pre-made items such as chocolate chipe cookies which are sooooo wonderful and they are EVERYTHING free!! They have everything from soups to pizza crusts!! Where do you normally shop?

We usually shop at Meijer or Stracks. Wiseway on Main is not far at all, I'll have to check that out.

I just found out about my gluten problem last week so I haven't had a chance to find to many products yet.

Thanks for the tip, looks like a Wiseway run tomorrow!

That's funny because i just found out about my gluten problem about 3 weeks ago. Yes, Wiseway has an actual health food "store" inside of the main store...not just a health food "department" inside the store. Good Luck and let me know if you have any questions :)

Thanks, I really need to get there. I have been doing ok for the last week but I cheated really bad today. We went to the zoo and I did fine. We brought a lunch I had a ham and cheese on a corn tortilla with some gluten free cheese curls. On the way home we were all hungry and brought home Culvers. I had a big cheeseburger on a regular bun and fries. I feel really guilty! I'll have to get to Wiseway and try to start over I guess. I hope I don't pay to big of a price for that cheeseburger tomorrow! Right now I feel OK. This is really hard I don't know if I can do it!

It's really hard, but the outcome is sooo worth it. Plus, if you don't mind cooking you can still have pretty much everything you want. Cheseburgers just buy gluten-free buns, pizza just buy gluten-free pizza crust and sauce, tacos use corn tortillas and make your own taco meat seasoning, fry or bake your own french fries, all the gluten-free pasta in the world with homemade meat sauce or meatballs. Steaks, pork chops, chicken (all perdue is gluten-free), etc... If you hate cooking maybe you have a loving family member who can help you out. I will say i completely understand when it comes to going out to eat. My hubby, myself, and the kids went to Outback Steakhouse last week specifically because they have an entire gluten free menu...and it ended up being unavailable at that time!! So, needless to say, i had a plain salad (no croutons) with olive oil, lemons, and salt. Oh well, at least i got out and had a glass of wine :)

morganb,

I am from Indiana, but down south. I am in Evansville. I just started experimenting with diet. It is so much better than relying on tests that are not very accurate. I do not have insurance, so affordability is an issue. I am 23, and have had misery for over ten years! It is difficult having to watch others eat what you cannot, but considering how ill you become, it is really not that worth it! It is better to eat what you tolerate.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

I haven't had lunch with your mom yet but the place was my suggestion. We have a tenative date set for the next time she is back in B-town!

NoGluGirl - I did the diet first, refused testing but agreed to a biopsy, which was negative. I actually told my doc that I refused to do a gluten challenge for testing and was happy that I felt better. She was fine with that and now that I have been gluten-free (and all the other stuff is fixed) for a while, really don't miss a positive DX for celiac disease.

Indiana born. Lafayette actually. Had severe seasonal allergies and have been in Seattle since 86. Havent been back there since the late 70's. Headed back to Illinois in Nov to attend a B.B. King concert with my older sister.

Seeking out those with Celiac at our church here in Seattle. Having ideas of a WF/gluten-free community dinner in the future there.

I like the chocolate quote by the way.....mostly because I like chocolate!

Be enocouraged!

Hey--I went to dpu ! Graduated in '01. Do you have a car? You're only an hour from Indy and you could come in to stock up on some things. Where are you living on campus?

PS: I'm in Indy :)

I know another new Celiac in Anderson... She comes down to Indy periodically to do shopping... Says there's not much in town there :( Do you have ingredient lists? These great lists are really helpful in shopping, to see what is safe and what isn't. https://www.celiac.com/st_main.html?p_catid=12 Any specific things you are struggling with?

PS: If any of you would be making a trip to Indy--I think I am going to have a local gluten-free pitch-in this fall. If you'd be interested, send me your e-mail...

      My only proof

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Just wanted to add that checking B12 and Vitamin D only is not going to give an accurate picture of vitamin deficiencies.   B12 Cobalamine needs the seven other B vitamins to work properly.   You can have vitamin deficiency symptoms before the B12 blood level changes to show deficiency.  You can have "normal" B12, but have deficiencies in other B vitamins like Thiamine and Niacin, for which there are no accurate tests. Take a B Complex supplement with all the B vitamins.  Take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  Thiamine Mononitrate found in most vitamin supplements is not easy for the body to utilize.  What makes thiamine mononitrate not break down on the shelf also makes it hard for the body to absorb and utilize.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 deficiency symptoms include anxiety, depression and irritability.  The brain uses more Thiamine than other organs.  Take the B Complex and Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and look for health improvements in the following weeks.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @rei.b, Ehlers Danlos syndrome and Celiac Disease can occur together in genetically predisposed individuals.  Losing ones gallbladder is common with celiac disease. I'm glad Naltrexone is helping with your pain.  Naltrexone is known to suppress tTg IgA and tTg IgG production, so it's not surprising that only your DGP IgG and DGP IgA are high.   Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol diet designed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself?  The AIP diet helps lower inflammation and promotes intestinal healing.   The AIP diet is a Paleo diet that eliminates foods that can cause intestinal inflammation until you heal on the inside, then more foods can be added back in.  The low histamine AIP diet will help reduce inflammation further.   Histamine is released as part of the immune response in celiac disease.  Foods also contain various amounts of histamine or provoke histamine release.  Lowering the amount of histamine from foods helps.  The body, with help from B vitamins, can clear histamine, but if more histamine is consumed than can be cleared, you can stay in an inflammatory state for a long time. Cutting out high histamine foods is beneficial.  Omit night shades which contain alkaloids that add to leaky gut syndrome found with celiac disease.  Night shades include tomatoes, peppers including bell peppers, potatoes and eggplants.  Processed foods like sausages and gluten-free processed products are high in histamines.  All Grains are removed from the diet because they are inflammatory and provoke histamine release. Blood tests for deficiencies in B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have vitamin deficiency symptoms before blood levels show a deficiency.  Blood levels do not accurately measure the quantity of B vitamins stored inside the cells where they are utilized.  The brain will order stored vitamins to be released from organs into the blood stream to keep the brain and heart supplied while deficiency occurs inside organs, like the gallbladder.  Gall bladder dysfunction is caused by a deficiency in Thiamine Vitamin B 1 and other B vitamins.   The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea and constipation, and the malabsorption and inflammation that occurs with celiac disease.  Because they are water soluble, the body can easily excrete any excess B vitamins in urine.  The best way to see if you are deficient is to take a B Complex and Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and look for health improvements in the following weeks.  Most B Complex supplements contain Thiamine Mononitrate which is not bioavailable.  The body has a difficult time utilizing thiamine mononitrate because it doesn't break down easily.  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Remember your intestines are in a damaged, permeable state.  Treat them tenderly, like you would a baby until they heal.  You wouldn't feed a baby spicy bell peppers and hard to digest corn and nuts.  Change your diet so your intestines can heal.   I use a combination of B12 Cobalamine, B 6 Pyridoxine, and B1 Benfotiamine for pain.  These three B vitamins have analgesic properties.  They relieve pain better than other otc pain relievers.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.
