Is there such a thing as a Ciliac "Bible" a book or paper that lists all of the foods (even by brand name) that are safe for Ciliac sufferers, as well as a list of the no no foods for us, being brand new at this, I'm trying to get all the info I can.

It just don't make sence to think you are eating something safe, and find out later that it's not.

Also I see many people on this forum say not to consume dairy products?? Why?? as far I know dairy is gluten-free???

Here are lists of Forbidden and Safe Ingredients:

Here is a listing of Companies who will always list gluten as "wheat, rye, malt, and barley":

There is no master list of gluten free products because the ingredients change so frequently. The key to success is to learn to read labels.

Dairy is absorbed on the tips of the villi. If you have flattened, burnt villi or destroyed it can't absorb and will pass through as if gluten. Some healing is recommended before you re-introduce dairy. If you see no improvement on the gluten free diet, try to cut our dairy for a short time and see if you have any improvement.

The list Lisa gave you is great...I took the "unsafe" list with me grocery shopping until I got the hang of it all.

Living Gluten Free for Dummies by Dana Korn is a great book.

Hello! I am new to the forum and just saw your post. I don't know if you have a Trader Joe's near where you live, but they have a list online of all of their gluten free products...it is a life saver!

Very cool!! Thanks for the lists, they will come in very handy :-)

That's interesting about the dairy, where can I find more info about Celiac and dariy products? My Dr. told me that Dairy products are just fine.

I have the Gluten Free Grocery Shopping Guide 2007 ed. They produce one each year. It will give you brand name foods that are safe for us to have. it is pocket size and very easy to shop with. it has helped me a lot and was well worth the purchase price. FYI, if you have a WalMart super center near you, they well clearly denote when the great value brand of products are gluten-free...I've saved tons of money shopping there!

Thank God I am not sensitive to dairy. Be cautious of fat free dairy products as they may have fillers that contain gluten. Otherwise most dairy products should be ok as long as your system is able to tolerate it:)

Good luck to you!

      New Study Finds 1 in 10 Celiac Patients May Have Additional Autoimmune Disorders (+Video)

      Kinda glad I read this and some related materials. My celiac symptoms seem mild and I sometimes question if the hassle of the gluten-free diet/lifestyle is worth it for mild symptoms. This is one of the answers to that. gluten-free diet can delay onset/progression of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome, but cannot reverse it.

      makes sense. sometimes you learn one path and never question it until you see someone take a different path

      Interesting I read that toasted kasha groats have nutty flavor which I thought like oatmeal with banana and yogurt. Yes quinoa I have for dinner looking to switch oatmeal to buckwheat for breakfast. I have to look into amaranth

      I've never tried bananas or yogurt with kasha. It would probably work but in my mind I think of kasha as being on the savory side so I always add butter, peanut butter, or shredded cheddar cheese. Next time I make it I will try yogurt and banana to see for myself. Amaranth has a touch of sweet and I like to pair it with fruit. Quinoa is more neutral. I eat...

      The basic seems more like oatmeal. You can also add yogurt banana to it like oatmeal right. I see rinsing as first step in basic recipes like this one https://busycooks.com/how-to-cook-toasted-buckwheat-groats-kasha/ I don't understand why since kasha is toasted and not raw. What about buckwheat flake cereal or is this better to go with.

      I've never tried bananas or yogurt with kasha. It would probably work but in my mind I think of kasha as being on the savory side so I always add butter, peanut butter, or shredded cheddar cheese. Next time I make it I will try yogurt and banana to see for myself. Amaranth has a touch of sweet and I like to pair it with fruit. Quinoa is more neutral. I eat it plain, like rice, with chicken stock or other savory things, or with coconut milk. Since coconut milk works, I would think yogurt would work (with the quinoa). I went to the link you posted. I really don't know why they rinse the kasha. I've eaten it for decades and never rinsed it. Other than that, her recipe seems fine (that is, add the buckwheat with the water, rather than wait until the water is boiling). She does say something that I forgot: you want to get roasted/toasted buckwheat or you will need to toast it yourself. I've never tried buckwheat flakes. One potential issue with flakes is that there are more processing steps and as a rule of thumb, every processing step is another opportunity for cross-contamination. I have tried something that was a finer grind of the buckwheat than the whole/coarse and I didn't like it as much. But, maybe that was simply because it wasn't "normal" to me, I don't know.

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Celiac disease can have neurological associations, but the better-described ones include gluten ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, headaches or migraine, seizures, cognitive symptoms, and, rarely, cerebral calcifications or white-matter changes. Some studies and case reports describe brain white-matter lesions in people with celiac disease, but these are not specific to celiac disease and can have many other explanations. A frontal lobe lesion could mean many different things depending on the exact wording of the report: a white-matter spot, inflammation, demyelination, a small old stroke, migraine-related change, infection, trauma, vascular change, seizure-related change, tumor-like lesion, artifact, or something that resolved on repeat imaging. The word “transient” usually means it changed or disappeared, which can happen with some inflammatory, seizure-related, migraine-related, vascular, or imaging-artifact situations.  Hopefully they will find nothing serious.
