I found out a few days ago that I have celiac. In addition I have Type 1 diabetes for the past 26 years, so as you can well imagine, special diets have been a part of my life for quite some time. Originally from the USA, I have been living in Israel for over 20 years. I look forward to your helpful advice and support.

Welcome Mark! Eating gluten-free in Israel isn't bad. I went a year ago (before I was diagnosed) with my brother, who also has celiac, and he didn't have a hard time. We didn't buy any specifically gluten-free stuff, but restaurants were all pretty good. We were a tough group- my cousins, who have life threatening nut and egg allergies, were also with us. And very few of us spoke any useful Hebrew! Welcome!

Thanks. Careful when using the phrase "stick around" :D I use an insulin pump. The best defense I have against the many medical problems I have is my sick sense of humor, and no one is going to take that away.

Even though I have been living in Israel for over 20 years, my Hebrew is not very good either. Fortunately, my wife is Israeli, and every time I do speak Hebrew, my accent is so strong people that don't know me want to practice their English. Given the fact that I live on a kibbutz also makes life easier for me.

Welcome Mark! Avoiding gluten isn't so bad, and you can learn to make breads etc. if you want to eat them. I'm sure the necessary ingredients are readily available in Israel!

Going gluten free may also improve your diabetes....probably type 1 is never eliminated, but the severity of it could definitely improve.

Ask lots of questions here, people are always generous and helpful.

      When I have had what I think are episodes of this (I've never had a formal diagnosis for PF) it seems to be triggered by bloating caused by something I've eaten - a friend had an episode of this after eating too many apples, for me corn and rice cakes seemed to give me IBS and trigger this.  I am not a medical person but it seemed like the extra pressure down there perhaps added pressure to already sensitised pelvic and rectal muscles. Coeliacs can suffer from bloating when they are first diagnosed due to the inability to digest food properly.  Lactose for me caused a lot of bloating and when I came off it temporarily after diagnosis it helped reduce bloating.  Iron supplements and the timing of taking them also caused discomfort and I had to experiment a bit with type and timing before my gut felt comfortable.   Maybe something to think about?   Some coeliacs suffer from constipation - again, just a thought, but perhaps if you had issues with that it might be a contributor.

      At a family wedding in Italy last year I was drinking gluten free Peroni which was fine for me. From the Daura Damn website ... " Our guarantee less than 3ppm: each batch is analyzed and certified by the CSIC using the R5 Competitive ELISA test before hitting the market. This way, we ensure that its gluten content is always below 3ppm "

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer  support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead are offering supplements for your symptoms. This has helped you but you are not able to work very much.  The Programs I have seen  online usually have 3 parts. The first is a Parasite cleanse. The 2nd is the Kidney cleanse and the  3rd is a Liver cleanse and gallbladder cleanse. You need to doall these cleanses to have your whole body functioning well. I can only reccommend the program I gave you because that is the one I used and still do. (drclark.net)  When I see a newprovider and tell I have Celiacs and they look skeptical I tell them that when I am gluttoned the reaction happens 8 or more hours later with intestinal painful cramping followed by diarrhea. Providers are willing to accept tha I probably have Celiacs and are more likely order tests such as vitamin levels. Is this what happens if you eat only a small amount of Gluten? You mentioned going to Mayors. 20 years ago many Dr.s wanted to include a celiac screening as a standard test so that more people eould diagnosed and not become disabled. It did not happen but the Federal levgislature did pass a law so that Celiacs could claim deductions for the gluten free food they bought. What were you going to ask the Mayors to do?

      Thank you for all the excellent information. I moved from Wyoming to California. May be its where I am located but So far none of the Costco Kirkland brand I have looked at is labeled gluten free. Same with the Sam's Members Mark. The Kirkland nuts you mention all say they are processed in a plant that processes wheat.  I am going to keep checking. Thank you. The Azure Market looks promising 😁 Take care S
