Hello. I am a new member.My 26 year old son was just diagnosed with celiac disease.

I am trying to find a uncomplicated good book for him to read to tell him all he needs to know about it.He is following a gluten free diet.But he seems to think that is all he has to do. I have been researching and I know that is not the case. Every day I see new things he is not suppose to eat or use.I am so worried about him.

Since he is 26, he tells me he is not a baby etc etc. But I think he needs to take it more seriously. So I figured if I can find a book that is straight to the point of what to do and not to do, maybe he will read it.

Thank you for any suggestions.

no, really, he has the big thing down. the ONLY treament for celiac is a gluten free diet. i reccomend Dr peter green's hidden epedemic book. it has a blue and green and white cover, it's really the best.

Dr. Greens book is really good but it has alot of technical info.

I read Living Gluten Free for Dummie by Dana Korn first and then read Dr. Green's book. The for dummies book has great info and not so overwhelming to read. I got basic info from that and then got more in depth from Dr. greens. You can buy both together on Amazon for around 30 fo rthe pair!

I found The Gluten Free Bible by Jax Peters Lowell very informative. However, it's full of product lists that are out of date. Any gluten-free product list will be out of date the day after it's produced. It's the nature of the beast. But the book was good about covering ALL aspects of a gluten-free life (like dating) and it's conversational tone was very entertaining.

Darleen,

Just wanted to welcome you to the board. You are a good mom for being involved!

I agree-Dr. Green's book is a wonderful resource. It covers everything!

Encourage him to come on here and read. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

Best of luck to you and your son!

(By the way, I am 26, and having a supportive mom who cooks/bakes wonderful gluten free meals for me when I'm at home is the best thing in the world!)

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Try adding some Thiamine Hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) and see if there's any difference. Thiamine HCl uses special thiamine transporters to get inside cells. I take it myself. Tryptophan will help heal the intestines. Tryptophan is that amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner. I take mine with magnesium before bedtime...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I live in the upper mid-west and was just diagnosed with marsh 3c celiac less than a month ago. As a 51 year old male, I now take a couple of different gluten free vitamins. I have not noticed any reaction to either of these items. Both were purchased from Amazon. 1. Nature Made Multivitamin For Him with No Iron 2. Gade Nutrition Organic Quercetin...

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +
