Does anyone know where the top celiac disease conventions are? Looking for a convention so I can go and sample recipes and gluten free food. I am getting discouraged very quickly because I can't find any gluten free foods I like. :huh:

Tampa, FL area or any area around. If the convention is big enough I would be willing to fly.

I do know what you're saying, I think I've tried 15 different breads till I found one that was a keeper. Aside from finding more possibilities of specialized "gluten free" food products, there are many mainstream groceries that are (already) gluten free (Stagg, Progresso, Heinz, Hormel, Kraft...).

You can find some gluten-free product lists online, or email the maker (Hormel, etc.) many now have gluten free lists. But the biggest tool I came across is the Gluten-Free Grocery Shopping Guides. I wish someone had told me about them when I was diagnosed. I hated going to the store, it took forever, reading labels, being uncertain of an ingredient...

Here are links to two of them. There's another out that can also be downloaded to your PDA device, etc., by Clan Thompson, and also a new online service Open Original Shared Link (don't remember what the monthly cost of that one is).

I bought the Cecilas guide, it was about $25 and worth every dollar. Put an end to standing in the aisle and reading packages!

There are also restaurant guides out there, too.

Good luck, but the good news is there are so many resources now.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
