I was diagnosed last week ... and have been pretty much living on Tostitos. Hey - they were "on the list", were safe and allowed me time to wrap my head around this whole thing. But they're growing old fast and I need real food. I, too, am a picky eater. Canned peaches and pineapple - yum. No eggs (ever! - just don't like them); meat and potatoes are fine. I'll take my first trip to the "health food store" (me in a health food store is an oxymoron for sure!) this weekend. Someone at work told me about the bagels with the brand name that begins with a "K", and the donuts sound good too. Something to have with my coffee. :-)

We can have cocoa pebbles? You have got to be kidding! I told someone that all the foods that were "bad" for me I can eat ... candies, etc. LOL. What about cocoa puffs? And I can't find this one anywhere - Welch's grape juice?

This board is the greatest. I can deal with this whole thing with all of you to talk to. Pretty ironic ... at one time I made from scratch cakes and sold them ... and my deserts were always what I brought to family gatherings.

The donuts and brand that they may have been talking about is Kinnikinnick. That is a really good brand! Must have.

We can't have cocoa puffs but we can have cocoa and fruity pebbles by Post.

Welch's grape juice is gluten free too :D

Thanks for the Welch's info - I'm going to have a nice big glass right now! And cocoa pebbles as soon as the lactose intolerance goes away (I just thought it was my age!)

Is Coffemate OK? Read the label and thought so, but still new at this. Have subscribed to ClanThompson and I have another site I've gotten information from ... and the loooooooong list I found on here.

And what about Land O Lakes margarine? I saw where the butter was OK, but do prefer the other.

CDford-I also have high cholesterol my dr's assistant recommended flax seed daily to help with that. I have been using ground flax seed I bought at walmart, mixing it with gluten-free yogurt and fresh sliced strawberries/bananas. its actually good.

I always try and have fruit, protein and carb so I have some combination of the following:

fruit smoothie (+ yoghurt or acidophilus )

carrot, celery & prune juice

stewed fruit with LSA mix on top (crushed linseed, sunflower seed & almond)

which is good fibre & as others have said good for high cholesterol)

rice cakes and banana

egg on toast & fruit juice

chicken or cheese toasted sandwich

broccoli/ zucchinni and melted cheese ( a favourite)

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
