Being diagnosed recently with gluten intolerance, I've been looking around in my library for some books on how to help me through this, but couldn't find any.. I was searching on the web and stumbled across this site that claims to be selling a book selling gluten free food?

I found it here:

I actually read the reviews, and it sounds ok I guess, but I'm not sure. I was hoping that some of you might have heard of it before and tell me if it's good or not?

I don't want to end up spending money on something trying to help me, and then it wouldn't work..

What do you think?

I bought the Triumph gluten-free grocery guide when I was first diagnosis ed, the book was wonderful but I found that after a couple of weeks it was easier to rely on the Google search bar or call the 800# because I kept forgetting to take the book with me, and I knew the safe items. You may want to go to some of your favorite products websites and just download a list of their gluten-free products and use the money toward food :)

Yeah, I agree. With all the constant changes involved in the new realization by many of gluten (and other) food intolerances, I can't help but think that info in a published book will be outdated in 6 months (including foods that change their ingredients for the worse). I want current info when I shop. If you have an iphone, there's probably "an app" for that. If not, like me, I am trying to keep current with the foods I know I eat (luckily, that's not too much of a variety since I am so new to this lifestyle).

I guess that could be a problem, forgetting to keep bringing the book with you, but I think I might buy it, just to experience it first hand. I'll let you know how it goes!

You all have really good points!

I guess your right, when some companies may just as quickly change the ingredients in the food. I'm going to buy it, just to see how it works, cause I really want to see what this book is like.

I will let all of you know how it goes!

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
