I know people were talking in one forum about a book that is small enough to fit in their purse...is updated for 2010...and could be found online. Anyone have any idea what the name of it was? A couple of my co-workers also just learned they are gluten-free so we are trying to compile all of the info we are learning! :rolleyes:

I don't know about one small enough to fit in your purse (or actually I guess that depends on the size of the purse-lol) but try Triumph. I don't think it is legal to post the link but google "triumph Dining guide" and it should point you to the right place. They also have a grocery guide and handy cards to take to restaurants.

I would recommend:

www.CeceliasMarketplace.com

www.triumphdinning.com

Both can be ordered on line or from the Gluten Free Mall on here.

They are great for the new learners and for family members who shop for us. But, not to depend on after a years time. Accuracy may be compromised, due to the rapid ingredient change among products.

Gluten Free grocery Shopping Guide by matison & Matison is a great purse sized book and I always have it with me. Like everything else though it was accurate at the time of publication so you still need to check ingredients but it is a great starting point.

I agree, it was very helpful for me as a new Celiac. They do post updates with changes on their web site. So check that every once and awhile.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
