New To Celiac Disease

Hello,

I'm new to the forum and Celiac Disease. I was wondering if anyone can offer me some helpful starter advice on diet. My doctor is setting me up with a dietician but in the interim I need some help with all the foods NOT to eat. I have suffered for years and was just now diagnosed. I'm actually excited to have an answer to my ailments. Any help anyone can offer or links would be great.

Thanks,

VaBeachDebi

Hey Debi,

Welcome to the Club! In Virginia Beach you will have great opportunities to find some gluten free products. I'm not too far from you.

I would recommend that you keep your diet simple, naked as we sometimes call it. Meat, seafood, potatoes, rice, fresh veggies and fruit. Eat simply until you learn what products are safe to add.

You should consider getting a new toaster, wooden spoons, replace all scratched pots and pans. Replace that tub of butter or mayo that you used to use on your "real" toast, due to cross contamination.

Call the manufacturers on any vitamins or meds that you may be taking. And just to be on the safe side, use a shampoo and lotions that do not have gluten. We are talking about anything that can get into your mouth.

This initial transition is pretty hard in the beginning. We are here to help with that.

Here is a listing of companies who will clearly list all gluten (ie. wheat, malt, rye, barley):

And on a personal note, I have not heard of a dietician who knows more than this site can provide for you. Save your money

Welcome to the board!

There is a support group in your area. You may want to contact them for recommendations for doctors, nutritionists/dieticians (if there are any that are knowledgable, sure, go.........but many don't understand Celiac)

Glad you're here! It can be SO overwhelming at first, but trust me it'll be second nature to you in no time. :D

      I'm not in any clinical trials, can I ask why you are so focused on this particular one? There are now several celiac disease potential treatment drugs undergoing clinical trials.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By DebJ14 · Posted

      I did well on gluten-free, but continued to have issues a year down the road.  Testing for food allergies and sensitivities revealed severe IgE allergies to yeast and dairy as well as food sensitivities to 23 other foods.  I got better after taking out those foods, but it was not until the doctor recommended I go completely grain free did all my issues resolve.  No oats, corn, rice etc. for me for the past 10 years or so.  I am actually better at 72 than I was in my 40's!
