I have come across an iPhone/iPod app called Celiac Feed. It's based on user contributions which can detect your location and then suggest restaurants and stores which provide gluten free options. Please consider loading it (it's FREE!) and adding the places you trust near your home. It's very easy to make recommendations, just type in the name of place and it'll give you a list of locations from which to choose and then you can offer any comments/notes to share. I have contributed for my area of Houston and now it'll be a great resource for anyone who comes to my neck of the woods. I hope others will do the same so I and others can benefit when in your area.

Also, another great app is "Is that Gluten Free?" Cost is $5.99.

Thanks for the Celiac Feed recommendation. I'll take a look. "Is That Gluten Free" has saved my butt at the grocery store a number of times. Well worth $6 IMO.

Yeah I've heard about those apps. I have a Palm phone, and so far I haven't seen any Palm apps like that. I really wish there were, because I would use it all the time!

The BEST iPod app is the "Gluten-Free Guide" by triumph dinning It's a guide (duh) that lists all kinds of food by category or search that are gluten-free! It's like 18$ but it's beyond worth it! It's the reason I bought my iPod....

*edited to add*

I forgot to mention that it doesn't require internet to use the app...

Thanks for that info. I can tell you what app NOT to get! Its called glutenScan. It's HORRIBLE!! Please don't waste your money on that one. I payed $2, and found out it was a monthly subscription, costing another $2 every month! So, I only had it for 1 month, but even THAT was a waste because it doesn't work without internet access, and what grocery stores have internet access?? If I was in Walmart and wanted to know if something contained gluten, not possible until I got home and got online. Just wanted to save anyone the money they'd waste on that app. I'm going to check out the one you just recommended though, so thanks!!

tgrand, thanks for that app!! I just got it and already added a place, and it's the ONLY place listed where I live now, which I figured, ti's a small place in Montana, but hey, I'll add whenever I can, and now people traveling through Montana can have an option! I can't wait to try this out when we travel to CO this summer!

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By trents · Posted

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      Hello, I am feeling frustrated. I have hEDS and lifelong digestive issues but my GI PA is very focused on my celiac panel and I just want to make sure that she should be focused on that because completely changing my diet seems to have worsened my symptoms.  Symptoms are constipation, diarrhea, and acid reflux with spicy foods and certain foods like tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions. I also don't have a gallbaldder as it was removed almost a year ago. This also exacerbated my symptoms. I did have joint pain from hEDS but that was already treated with low dose naltrexone about 4 months prior to going completely gluten free. Endoscopy was abnormal but inconclusive; basically showed some inflammation - which common with hEDS. I don't have any vitamin deficiency.   Celiac Panel Results: TTG-A <0.5 U/ML Reference Range: 0.5-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 DGP-A 72.0 U/ML Reference Range: 0.2-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 TTG-G <0.8 U/ML Reference Range: 0.8-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 DGP-G 24.0 U/ML Reference Range: 0.4-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 IgG-A-M Results: IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, QN, SERUM 165 MG/DL Reference Range: 87-352 MG/DL IMMUNOGLOBULIN M, QN, SERUM 164 MG/DL Reference Range: 26-217 MG/DL   What are your thoughts, internet? Are there any questions I should be asking the PA? Thanks!

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Roses8721 · Posted

      Help. I’m spiraling. Years of extensive symptoms:  What could this be? Years of: Mildly elevated alk and alt Fatty liver Random days of feeling like I’m coming down w flu but no fever and nobody else in house sick Intermittent diarrhea Severe abdominal distension Long history of cavities and enamel deficiency Sound sensitivity Anxiety and depression Low libido Sun skin allergy Frequent fatigue ended up seeing PCP because I looked 8 mo preg. Started gluten-free diet then celiac serology negative. SW GI Dr dx me w celiac as I had been in bed for 3 days after eating gluten after cutting. GI said not to do biopsy because it was clear what was going on and added to chart. My spiral is not seeing anywhere this is done and want to see if anyone else has dealt w this. If not celiac idk what else I will do. Family history or celiac as well as a death related to this.
