Can anyone recommend a good quick reference book ?? I guess I'm lazy and want a book I can go to letter "s" and look up "soy sauce" before I take a bite ?

:(

Two suggestions:

Cecelia's MarketPlace Gluten Free Grocery Shopping Guide

The Essential Gluten Free Grocery Guide, by Triumph Dining

Both can be found on line or here at the Gluten Free Mall.

Guides are super while you are getting adjusted to the diet. But, inevitable, reading labels will be your key to success (or survival)

I bought Cecelia's Gluten Free Guide a few weeks ago and was super excited to have such a long list gluten free items in my hands, but I do want to throw out a caution. There are a few items listed that are NOT gluten free and I'm not sure why they won't remove them. For example, Tylenol Rapid Release Gels are listed as being gluten free in the book, but when I contacted Tylenol, they told me the RR Gels are NOT gluten free and even sent me a list of their gluten free products, with RR gels not being listed as gluten free. I contacted Cecelia's Marketplace about it, but that was a couple weeks ago and they still haven't made any product alerts for Tylenol RR gels. Also, Wonka Nerds are listed as gluten free, but on the package, it clearly states that the product is made on machinery that also produces wheat containing candies. Sooo...I still use my Cecelia's Marketplace Guide, but I still read labels. And I make notes in my book if I call a company and find something different than what's listed. Hope it helps!

Any book is going to be out of date the moment it's printed, so even if you use one to steer you in a direction, ALWAYS read labels before purchasing or using.

Nothing to eat? Surely, you jest.

How about fruit, vegetables, meat... or do you mean packaged convenience foods?

Have a Snicker and a Coke. (gluten-free)

Have some Lays potato chips and a V_8 (gluten-free)

There is tons of stuff to eat... you just have to look for what you CAN have as opposed to what you can NOT have.

      still struggling with cravings

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring...

      Toothpaste question.

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.

      Manitol and mri

      I wasn’t clear, glucagon and gadolinium were intravenous. I drank about 5 cups of the prep during 45 minutes. I feel very tired now, probably partly because I was nervous, and partly because I had to fast for 6 hours beforehand and wasn’t very hungry when I got home.

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      The solution I had to drink contained sorbitol and mannitol. I was in the MRI, lying on my back, for about 40 minutes. I was given glucagon partway through, and a gadolinium contrast agent. After I got home there was some diarrhea from the prep solution.
