Can you all recommend some way for me to STAY INFORMED?? I went to the celiac disease foundation website and I was NOT impressed. I dont quit understand what I get with my $35 membership. Some "handbook" that is not explained at all, like I have no idea if it's a 4 page pamphlet or a 300 page notebook or what? What I'm wanting is some thing I can join or sign up for or something, that will keep me informed of news regarding celiac disease, and also products that are new, and products that were gluten free but are no longer, etc. Can anyone recommend something? I feel like I'm just out of the loop, as I have 3 children and am newly pregnant with our 4th (for the 4th time, 3 miscarriages before my diagnosis), and I want to make sure I'm doing the best I can for this pregnancy, etc. I know I'm rambling but I guess I'm feeling upset at the moment and overwhelmed, so I'm sorry about that. Thanks much for any help!

I know it's frustrating. One of the best places I have found to stay informed is right here. Scott is good about posting new articles in the publications and publicity section of the board as well as on the home page. I know this wasn't real helpful and hopefully some others will have some other ideas.

The CDF website IS pretty lame. But they do send you a newsletter on a regular basis which I find useful, mainly for the ads. It's realy chock full of gluten free food ads. Some are the same old standards, but they are good about getting new product ads in too. As for the articles in the newsletter, I have found that it's hit or miss in terms of usefulness for me, but it seems like there is a lot of stuff dedicated to raising kids with celiac disease, which may be relevant to you. Hope this helps a bit! Sorry to hear you are so frustrated.

What about "Living Without" magazine? Is that any good?

I have to agree with ravenwoodglass. This forum is the best place to learn about this disease. I've learned more here than anywhere else. Just ask a question and someone will respond who has already been there, done that.

Recently I subscribed to Living Without. Just got my second issue. Well worth the money and they have a lot of info and recipes on their website, too. I got an introductory rate of $19.95 for a year (don't recall if it was from their website or Facebook).

I enjoy the Living Without magazine and website, although the print magazine is kinda pricey. I signed up for emails from the website, and get recipes. The website is helpful, you might want to check it out. (livingwithout.com)

I know this is off topic, but what is your picture? I remember that cartoon character, but can't remember from what! :lol:

Is it a shmoo?

Yes, a shmoo! Thank you, you have a good memory.

"Drawn by Al Capp in his comic strip Li'l Abner in 1948. The Shmoo is a small lovable creature. It laid eggs, gave milk, and died of sheer extacy when looked at with hunger. The shmoo loved to be eaten and could taste like any food you desire. Shmoo hide, cut thin, made a fine leather. Even shmoo whiskers made excellent toothpicks. The shmoo had the power to supply the whole world with all of its' wants and needs. The shmoo reproduces asexually, and only requires air to stay alive." (urbandictionary.com)

Yep, it's the Shmoo!! My husband likes to go around driving me crazy by singing the song from the cartoon "The Incredible New Shmoo" and I like the Shmoo so I picked it. I would also like to be able to lay eggs and give milk, LOL (well I might be able to give milk in about 7 more months).

Yes, a shmoo! Thank you, you have a good memory.

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction.

      This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms

      Dang. I had a moment of hope that I could change my BP med and get off the gluten-free diet. Nope. More seriously, I hadn't seen this articles about this phenomenon before. This is one of the possible answers for people who post here about having celiac symptoms (including biopsy) but normal IgA levels, especially if they are saying that diet isn't helping...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction. I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.

I also did have implants ( I didn't know and sense not properly in my medical. Neither did surgeon)in 2006 and there was a leak 2023 during the same time I was dealing with covid, digestive issues, eyes and skin.Considering I " should  be fine" not consuming gluten/wheat, taking vitamins for sibo and STILL feeling terrible.It has to be parasites. I also take individual eye drops prescribed, could there be an issue there? Anyways my pcp thinks I need therapy because again they don't acknowledge my digestive issues because in my records it shows im fine, hintz the reason I had to go back to bay area hospital:(  I thought skin issues maybe sibo related but I feel and have seen and seriously trying not to think about it because it's disgusting.

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
