If she has a lot of trouble, it's best to stick to unprocessed, naturally gluten-free foods. Fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, dried fruits, plain nuts and seeds, and cheese are all naturally gluten-free, healthy snack foods. I love apples and peanut butter. :) For sweets, most good chocolate is naturally gluten-free, or get an ice cream without a lot of ingredients like Breyer's.

The more processing, the more risk of gluten cross-contamination. Larabars, Kind bars, Lay's Stax, and the Nature Valley nut crunch bars (the box is marked gluten-free now) are some processed foods I can tolerate well. Lundburg rice cakes are pretty good and gluten-free, and the Whole Foods brand rice crackers are affordable and haven't give me any problems.

Hi Hollie

A few months after I was diagnosed I discovered these grocery shopping guides. Made my life much easier when shopping.

Gluten-Free Grocery Shopping Guides. Aside from these, our local GIG Celiac Div. has a smaller gluten-free groc. guide that includes a lot of local items, so you may look for a local Celiac Chapter in your area.

There another out that can also be downloaded to your PDA device, etc., by Clan Thompson.

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

Many grocery stores and food manufacturers (Kraft, Hormel etc) now have their own gluten free product lists as well, some online and some will mail you list.

Here is a link to Gluten Intolerance Group NA's page where you can search for certified gluten free items:

What about things that are naturally gluten free? Like fresh vegetables and fruit, nuts and seeds.

      Is this celiac?

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.

      Fiber Supplement

      Another great fiber option is dried apricots. Four of them give you 3g of fiber and I find they don't produce all the gas that some other high fiber options do. They taste good too. Costco sells a large bag of them that are labeled gluten-free so you don't have to worry about cross contamination issues like you might in bulk grocery settings.

      Is this celiac?

      Hello again. Thank you for the responses to date. I have had several follow-ups and wanted to share what I’ve learned. About a month after my initial blood test and going gluten free, my TtG went from 8.1 to 1.8. I have learned that my copper is low and my B6 is high. My other vitamins and nutrients are more or less in range. After I glutened myself on 1...

      Hello again. Thank you for the responses to date. I have had several follow-ups and wanted to share what I’ve learned. About a month after my initial blood test and going gluten free, my TtG went from 8.1 to 1.8. I have learned that my copper is low and my B6 is high. My other vitamins and nutrients are more or less in range. After I glutened myself on 10/24, I have been strict about being gluten free - so about a month. I have been eating dairy free and low FODMAP as well because it’s what my stomach allows. Baked fish, potatoes, rice, etc. Whole foods and limited Whole foods. I have continued to lose weight but it has slowed down, but a total of about 15 pounds since I went gluten free. Along with stomach pain, my symptoms included nausea, body and joint pain, a burning sensation throughout my body and heart rate spikes. I still have them but I have them less now. These are the symptoms that led to my doctor appointments and subsequent diagnosis. I also did the DNA screening and was positive. So, at this point, the answer is yes, I have celiac. I have two questions for this group. Any ideas on why my enteropathy was so severe (marsh 3B) and my TtG was so minimal? Is that common? Or are there other things to consider with that combo? And this recovery, still having pain and other symptoms a month later (7 weeks gluten free and 4 weeks after the glutening) normal? I’m going to continue down this path of bland foods and trying to heal but would love to understand the reasons for the long journey. I read so much about people who stop eating gluten and feel amazing. I wish that was my experience but it certainly hasn’t been. Thank you again!
