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 However, it's full of product lists that are out of date. Any gluten-free product list will be out of date the day after it's produced.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!)

      I've had this same rash on my back on and off for the last year or two. I was taking LDN to help with other issues but quit awhile back. I'm wondering if LDN would help with this rash.

      Simple Mills and Made Good Foods Products May Contain Gluten Levels Above the FDA's Allowable Limit of 20 ppm

      It should be noted that Gluten Free Watchdog has voiced concerns about the methodology used by MomsAcrossAmerica's lab for their gluten testing. I don't have access behind their paywall, but here are 2 relevant public posts from them on this topic. (tldr: GFWD seems to believe that MAM's lab could have gotten false positives and they explain why they believe...

      Simple Mills and Made Good Foods Products May Contain Gluten Levels Above the FDA's Allowable Limit of 20 ppm

      I recently purchased Simple Mills crunchy almond flour chocolate chip cookies and chocolate chocolate chip cookies and had reactions to both. I learned of my gluten sensitivity 3 1/2 months ago and struggled with finding gluten-free foods but, with my husbands help, I have felt better than I have in many years. After eating these cookies my symptoms returned...

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Heatherisle, You have good reason to worry.   Ask the doctors to do an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to test for Thiamine B1 deficiency.  Thiamine deficiency is frequently found in B12 deficiency.  Deficiencies in all the B vitamins are common with malabsorption due to Celiac disease.  Thiamine can run out in as little as three days.   Thiamine deficiency symptoms can be mistaken for other diseases such as MS and Guillian-Barre Syndrome.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms include pain in legs and abdominal pain as well as depression and gastrointestinal symptoms. Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B 12 together relieve nerve pain.
