I called the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center for their sample pack. It is wonderful! :P Anyone new to the gluten-free diet should check it out. Samples from so many companies. Also a copy of the Living Without magazine and a gluten-free Food guide for the Denver area. They did a wonderful job. Now I feel guilty because I have a date to cheat (Black-Eye Pea) tonight. I have to test the diet to see that it really helps.

My GI dr said I have to have surgery for a cyst and when I get down I want to cheat. He also said it is Latent Celiac that I could add some foods and see how I feel and it would still be a good diet for me. I already had a Take 5 candy bar. So I already cheated. I already know what will happen but I have to test it. CONTROL ISSUES. I looked all over the house for something to taste. But everything is gluten-free. :(

I have been gluten-free since mid May and feeling good. So tomorrow when I feel like I've been beat up you can all give me the I told you so speech.

I GOT ONE OF THOSE TOO!!!

It was probably the highlight since going gluten-free.

I got so much food I didn't know where to put it! Who knew Lemonheads were gluten-free?

Enjoy it!!!

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
