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!

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.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
