I have purchased in 2004 and 2005 and did not get it after that.

Most of the products in the book are products not found in my part of country (NJ)

and stores like WalMart in my area do not have a full grocery dept. so many of those products

are not in my area.

Most of the stores the book states as sources for gluten-free food aren't in my area either. It just wasn't worthwhile for us; maybe it is for someone in another part of the country.

I'd get Clan Thompson or Gluten Guard but I am afraid that this will be the same case.

I think that is an awesome product for people who are starting out newly on the diet. It gives them a great idea as to what they can look for in the stores. When I was first diagnosed I got the CSA book and I think it gave me "hope". It showed me there were still foods to eat. I would highly recommend it to a newbie for a guide. If you have been on the diet a while, it probably wouldn't be as useful.

I also bought the 2005 edition when I was first diagnosed. At the time, I knew next to nothing about the gluten-free diet, and had not found this board yet.

It was helpful to me at first, but like Deb, I live in NJ and a lot of the stores and products listed in it were not available to me.

I almost never refer to it anymore--I either ask on here, or call manufacturers myself. :)

I use it and am a member of the organization. I've found it really helpful, along with their quarterly newsletter (good recipes in it).

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      Refractory celiac disease

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
