Hi,

Newly diagnosed and starting the diet after my bloodwork. I was just hoping that someone could help me get started. I have read a little and know that I should eat fruit, veggies, and protein to start- eliminating dairy for a few weeks. Could anyone share their shopping list with me? This is all a bit overwhelming!

Thanks!

My shopping list is usually pretty simple but may give you some ideas.

Long cook white and/or brown rice.

Lundenburg wild rice - they make a lot of nice kinds and keep well in the fridge

Pacific Foods broths, these are in the organic dept and are both gluten and soy free

Delmonte or Wegmans brand canned tomatoes- diced, crushed and sauce

The Delmonte meat flavored prepared sauces are not gluten free, they do have an online list

Kinnickinick bread and pizza shells

pnut butter and jellies

Frozen single ingredient veggies

Whatever fresh veggies and fruits look good

garlic

potatoes

Wegmans or Pacific rice milk

Thai Kitchen rice noodles, the real thin ones thrown into some gluten-free chicken broth is nice comfort food.

Buckwheat hot cereal

Quiona for tabouli

Gluten free Pantry French Bread Mix (great for deep dish pizza) and one of their cake mixes

Eggs

Even though I live alone I try to buy the club packs of meats and then portion and freeze. It ends up cheaper in the long run.

My shopping is similar for basics.

Silk Soy Milk

Rice Chex

marshmallows ( for squares or right out of the bag)

Chocolate bar, giant

Snickers, only full size bars

peanut butter and jelly

100 pack of corn tortillas

butter

corn chips

Walmart brand chopped tomatoes with green chilis

cream cheese

long grain rice

potatoes

sweet potatoes (I like cooked in microwave)

fresh fruits and vegetables

Constant Comment tea (comfort drink)

Cocoa or Fruity Pebbles

popcorn

These are staples for me. We also buy the large packs of meat and divide them in the freezer. I usually make a crock pot of broth on the weekend with one piece of chicken and spices. THen freeze some and cook rice noodles in some. I like friut smoothies with soy milk, frozen fruit and sugar. I eat tortillas in place of bread in nearly all instances. It's kinder to my weight also. The Hormel Naturals are my new favorite as the ingredients in the other meats were bothering me. I'm going to try the pepperoni next. Don't overwhelm yourself too much in the beginning, start with the basics and before you know it, you'll be an old pro!!

Hello! I wear Bare Minerals. I also contacted them when I was first diagnosed and they said their foundations and such are gluten free.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
