We just found out earlier this week that my step son has Celiac Disease. We are FULL of questions and I'm hoping that some of you more experienced out there will be able to help us. We are still learning, but is there anywhere online we can go to find a list of brand name products that are gluten free. I don't necessarily mean the products you can find in the gluten free section of the health food store, I mean normal every day products....some of the less obvious ones. We need all the help we can get. My step son is 4 1/2 and he pretty much can't eat anything that he loves anymore. It is going to be a hard transition, as I'm sure you've all experienced. Any advice?

Yes, we have a wonderful member of this board, who has done a great deal of research on behalf of the new people comming on board. She has created a "newbie survival kit". It will be a gold mind for new celicas.

Please do a search for member's name: "nini", click below her name and you can down load a wealth of information.

Many companies have a list of their online products for that company. I know that fritolay has a list and you can also look in the site index (on the left side of the board) they have a list of safe and forbidden ingredients

Nini's survival kit is also very good and I would look into it and talking to Nini.

Welcome to the board! We are happy you have found this site...is it by far the best resource out there.

Are you looking for specific products ... that might be easier to get you started. Ingredients change at any point, so its hard to put out "lists" per se. Reading ingredient labels will be the best thing you can learn to do, because then you can look at anything and 98% of the time, know if its safe or not.

Check out the book in my signature...it is a wonderful resource. I wish I had it when I was first diagnosed. You can find it on amazon. I refer to it often! He is an expert in the Celiac field.

Good luck, and let us know what we can do! It is a steep learning curve, I won't deny that! But, once you figure it out, then you get a new routine. And we will be here to help!

Wow, thank you guys for being so helpful! The resources on Nini's website are awesome, I couldn't ask for a better starting point. My step son spends so much time with other members of his family, and they will probably all need to have as much information as possible. You've all been so helpful, thank you so much.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
