I realize that this is a little after the fact but it might help someone in the future. I work every week in the Coachella Valley area. In Palm Desert off of Monterey and the I10 freeway, there is a nutritional store called Clarks. They have a very good deli that offers gluten free breads and a variety of other goodies. Their selection of gluten-free snacks is good as well. Things are pretty well marked and the staff is helpful. The Outback Steakhouse in Palm Desert off of Highway 111 has been very helpful to me in my search for gluten-free food as well. Make sure to call ahead and they will happily make sure to take care of you. Hope this helps. Just joined and saw the post, thought I would respond.

      Blood results

      That is more than 10x the standard range, so a strong positive. In the UK for children and adults under the age of 55, at least 10x the standard range is sufficient to be diagnosed without having an endoscopy. The NICE guidelines are are different for children in that a referral to a gastroenterologist is also recommended for diagnosis. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/how-to-test/ https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/diagnosis-in-children/

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      Welcome, @annamarie6655, I followed the AIP diet, too.  It allows the intestines time to heal.  I still avoid a lot of processed foods.  Once you get used to eating whole foods, they taste better than processed foods. I couldn't eat pepperoni without becoming ill.  Pepperoni is a processed meat that uses "meat glue" to hold its shape.  "Meat glue" is microbial transglutaminase produced by microbes in a lab.  Transglutaminase produced by microbes works the same in our bodies as tissue transglutaminase, which causes inflammation.  Remember those antibody blood tests, tTg IgA and tTg IgG?  They test for tissue transglutaminase produced by the body in response to gluten.  The microbial transglutaminase provokes the same response in our bodies as if exposed to gluten.  Best to avoid processed meat products like formed chicken nuggets, luncheon meats, formed hams, sausage, etc.   Best wishes.

      How to work through food paranoia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the tribe! Do discuss the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne) with your dietician.  The AIP diet helps while the intestines are healing, lowering potential to develop other food sensitivities.  Be sure to discuss supplementing with vitamins and minerals.  Damaged intestines don't absorb essential nutrients well.  Supplementing while healing boosts absorption and provides vitamins needed for repair.

      Having the will to be healthy but not the willpower

      This is not a weakness.  It is a serious threat to your health.  I once read an interview with a representitive of a large company.  He proudly stated that his wheat based product is more addictive than potato chips.  The other issue is cultural.   Perhaps this book will help Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together.  It is published here on Celiac.com free to read.  Chapter 1 starts here Gluten-Centric Culture: The Commensality Conundrum - Chapter 1 - Are You Kidding? At first I ate anything, regardless of nutritional value. Fritos, M&M Peanuts, potato chips, fruit, steak; anything else. Like most habits, it takes about thirty days create the gluten free habit. Pretend you've moved to another country where the food is entirely different.  Don't try to recreate your old diet based from commercial gluten free foods.  Gluten free foods are not fortified, so be aware of vitamins and mineral intake, especially vitamin D.  Vitamin D deficiency is practically a given.  You probably already have deficits from the malabsorption caused by villi damage. Some symptoms respond immediately, others take time to heal.  I counted 19 different symptoms that got better.  Some, like permanent stuffed nose, I was told was normal for some people.
