Dear kilcan,

Thank you for posting this! Some of these things I did not know we could have! Yay! More options! :) I am really glad I checked out this thread! There is always something you can learn! I have been gluten-free since August of last year.

It is important to me to make it as easy as possible.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

Thanks for this brochure! It's full of great information. I can't get into see my dietician for another month, so I am just plugging along, doing the best I can. I felt great the first week I went gluten free, but haven't felt good since. Not sure if it's part of my healing process, or if I am still getting gluten, or what. Anyway, thanks again!

Thanks

I printed it so I can take it to my Ortho doc on Monday for my foot, hopefully he will see why I want a bone density test, on top of braking my foot for the 3rd time. I am contemplating wheather or not to tell him about me testing negative for celiac disease or just tell him a lie and say that I am and hope that he will take my word for it.

Thanks again

I was reading the list for candy bars and Mars Almond bars were listed. I used to eat these years ago and loved them but I can't find them in the stores anymore. Are these still around? I'm so frustrated. I'm glad they're gluten free.

;)

Thanks for this booklet. Its great.

Dear ginghamkim,

The best advice I can give you is that if you are not sure if something is safe, do not eat it! So many things out there are not labeled clearly. I have a little present for you! I have a list that should really help. This is overwhelming. I went through this with myself eight months ago. You spend most of your day cooking and cleaning obsessively. The rest you are on the phone with reps from companies trying to find out what is safe. I decided to save you the trouble!

1. There are a number of things in the regular grocery that are safe. Some things are labeled already. Wal-Mart's Great Value brand has numerous things you can eat.

2. For the love of God use Coupons on items you are allowed to eat. People can get them and print them out online even. Call some of the local stores and ask if they accept online coupons.

3. Check the ads online and in the newspaper. You would be surprised how many people do not do this.

4. Some items like rice flour and rice noodles are safe to buy at the Chinese or oriental market. The merchants are more than happy to help you if you cannot read the label.

Now, here is my list of great things to get you started:

Condiments:

Smart Balance Margarine*

Crisco Shortening

Crisco Oil

Pompeiian Olive Oil

Great Value soy sauce

Heinz Ketchup

Lea & Perrins Worchestershire Sauce (all Lea & Perrins Products are safe)

Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce

Kraft French Fat-Free Salad Dressing

Kraft Thousand Island Fat-Free Salad Dressing

Pace Picante Sauce

Ortega Salsa

All Classico Red and *White sauces

All Jif Peanut Butters including Smooth Sensations

Welch's Grape Jelly

Cool Whip*

Philadelphia Cream Cheese*

Miracle Whip

Daisy Sour Cream (fat-free, low-fat, regular)*

Snack Foods:

Utz Potato Chips (Found at Sam

NoGluGirl,

I have to admit that that is a great starter list. I meant to say it earlier but time ran away from me.

Dear Ed,

Thank you for the compliment! :) I am trying to simplify this for everyone. This can be so stressful. I also found out recently that Brillo Soap Pads are safe. I was so glad! I forgot to add that to the list!

Sincerely,

Thank you for taking the time to post this very helpful, why don't they have pamphlets in Dr's office's so people can learn about it and Dr's. They have a lot other pamphlets about other diseases I guess because they can't give a drug for it what do you all think it would bring a lot of awareness to the public. I was talking to this lady yesterday she have never heard of it but goes to the GE doctor every year for her stomach issues and colon because her Mother died at 20 with colon cancer so I was telling her to get checked she goes back in Aug. She said she going to look it up and learn about it.

      Thank you Scott - I can’t think of much that’s changed diet wise but I’ll definitely try to see if any of this works and probiotics are a great idea thank you!

      4 Years and very little progress

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello there @maylynn  I'm a slow healer from the UK.  I sympathise.  Despite three endoscopies which showed nothing wrong, I frequently suffered from a very sore stomach, bloating, feeling queasy.   For some time I was taking the wrong iron supplement (Floradix instead of Floravital - the former has gluten in it, but the latter none).  But I would say even very little iron from an approved source made my stomach sore, I think it can be quite irritating. Perhaps that is an issue for you? Oats (the gluten-free pure ones) were an issue for many years (now fine).   Even though my endoscopy findings did not reflect any problems with healing, or any other issues, I self-diagnosed myself with gastritis as it seemed the feeling of nausea and in my case burning in the stomach pointed to it.  I went onto a gastritis/reflux diet and that really helped.   Have a google - there are tonnes online.  That meant avoiding spicy, greasy food, onions, tomatoes, coffee and alcohol.  (Actually, I don't drink, but I did toast someone during that time at a baptism and it set my stomach on fire.)   Instead of drinking strong coffee, I drank water, camomile tea, warm ginger water... so soothing.  I would not go to bed with a full stomach when things were bad, I would let my stomach rest from say 8pm to 8am, which really helped.   My husband and I then decided to buy a new oven and to buy a new dishwasher - we did need new ones anyway.  The new oven had two compartments, gluten goes in one, gluten free in the other.  The new dishwasher was a Miele which does a full rinse with clean water before washing the dishes.  But before I could afford a new dishwasher I would hand wash the dishes and make sure they were really rinsed well, no residue  (unlike our old dishwasher that was really not rinsing well at all). I stopped eating out for quite a few years - I think this is a biggy - although I would have coffee and soft drinks out. Eventually, my levels normalised.  What of the above was the 'silver bullet'?  I am not sure, but finally I did feel a lot better.  Occasionally I will take an over the counter PPI (omeprazole) or a small dose of Gaviscon, but most of the time I don't need them now. I'm not expecting anyone to go to all these lengths, but it could be that one or two of the tips I give you might work.  Don't give up hope! Cristiana

      High IGA antigliadin, everything else normal, what does this mean?

      By RMJ · Posted

      Yes, it would make sense to go mostly gluten free, since it gives your troubles.

      By SMK7 · Posted

      Yes, I made an effort to eat extra gluten at least 3 weeks before the endoscopy. I probably ate a some amount in the weeks before that. I had diarrhea, which resolved once I cut back after the endoscopy. So I think it would make sense to go mostly gluten free?

      Yay for the normal biopsy! Thanks for the follow up. Were you eating gluten prior to the endoscopy?
