Welcome Jennifer:

You have just found the most wonderful support group.

Many people on this site have been dealing with Celiac their whole life and many others are new to it such as yourself.

Just about everything you will need to know can be found here. Questions are always welcome.

My first suggestions for you is to read the posts on this site. Learn as much as you can from that and ask questions.

If you need suggestions to get started on the diet....it will be posted shortly.

Hi Jennifer! Welcome to the board :)

Here is a recent thread talking about support groups in Philadelphia.

Hope that helps a little--at least it's a starting point! You can always come on here and talk to us--there are lots of very nice people here who have been where you are and would be more than happy to help you out--feel free to ask anything!

I'm in south Jersey--Burlington County :D

Jennifer,

Welcome to the board! I am happy you have found us---it is great that you found this site so early on. :)

Also, the parent site to this forum, celiac.com, is full of articles, lists of ingredients, faqs, and all kinds of great info to "get you started." I still refer back to it regularly. Also, my favorite celiac book is by Dr. Peter Green "Celiac Disease: A hidden epidemic"---I highly recommend it. It was just recently published and I wish I had it when I was first dx'ed---it covers SO many things.

Let us know what we can do to help :D

Laura

      Can you get more EBT benefits if you have celiac disease?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello @brian1 I'm a UK based Moderator here on the forum.  If you are British, you may find that in your region you might be able to get certain gluten-free food (usually staples like bread) on prescription.  I recommend you ring Coeliac UK for the most up-to-date advice on this. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/home/ There is some advice here for UK coeliacs which might also be of use, on how to best navigate the gluten-free diet on a budget. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/living-gluten-free/the-gluten-free-diet/gluten-free-diet-on-a-budget/ I am afraid I don't know anything about the benefits you mention but maybe the charity can help?

      Legumes can be a source of wheat contamination, but I assume that you use versions labelled "gluten-free."

      Thiamine supplementation

      You may want to look into Benfotiamine, which is the fat soluble version of B1.

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Be sure all testing is completed before going gluten-free, that is, unless you are certain that gluten is the culprit and have decided not to eat it again. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
