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.

      Manitol and mri

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
