Handy Book ?

Just wondering if anyone has bought or used this book ? Gluten-Free Grocery Shopping Guide : : I came across it while at the Celiac Mall website. Looks like it could be handy but I have only been dealing with being gluten free for about a month so all this is still very new to me. I just don't want to invest in something if it's really not helpful.

Hope everyone is doing well, I have been pretty stressed out trying to learn how to live a new life ;)

It seems like I am always hungry, hopefully this will pass as my body adjusts to the new diet.

I have had both Cecilia's MarketPlace Guide and Triumph's Grocery Guide. I found it very helpful...especially with the *less than obvious* products. I highly recommend either, for the newly diagnosed.

They publish a new version yearly to keep up with the product changes.

It's a great book and i lived with it in my purse for the first year. Use it to help buy mainstream items BUT Always read the ingredients before buying. Manufacturers change suppliers, ingredients can change. The book is only as good as the day the info was received by them.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m so sorry you’re going through this—it sounds like your body is sending a clear signal that gluten is a major trigger for your Hashimoto’s. The dramatic spike in your anti-TPO (from 50 to 799!) and the severe symptoms you’re experiencing suggest a strong immune reaction, even if celiac testing wasn’t done earlier. While a formal diagnosis would clarify cross-contamination risks, continuing the challenge may not be worth the damage to your thyroid and quality of life, especially since you already know gluten worsens your antibodies and symptoms. If you need answers, you could discuss genetic testing (HLA-DQ2/DQ8 genes) with your doctor—this can rule out celiac predisposition without a gluten challenge. For now, prioritizing your health by quitting gluten again (strictly, given your sensitivity) and supporting gut healing (like probiotics, L-glutamine, or zinc carnosine) might be the wisest path. Your thyroid will thank you!

      tTg at 234 at 6 month bloodwork

      By trents · Posted

      Well then, I'd say he's making excellent progress. It can take some time for antibody numbers to normalize. Even though new antibodies are no longer being produced, it takes a while for the old ones to be disposed of. Make sure you keep an eye on the alkaline phosphatase levels. It is probably true that is tied to his adolescent growth spurt but it's worth tracking. Thirteen years of elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis. But I was 50 years old by that time and it was my ALT and AST that were mildly elevated all that time, not my alk phos. I just found out last week from an ultrasound that my liver is 20% larger than normal and I'm hoping that is a legacy effect. I have more testing lined up.

      tTg at 234 at 6 month bloodwork

      Hi. Sorry, his previous levels were >250 and we do not know how high they were. So yes, "off the chart". By 'detectable' I just meant that at 234 we now actually have a number as a baseline that we can measure future labs against. All his other liver test functions have been normal.  Just the elevated ALP. Thank you.

      Welcome to the forum, @CeliacMom79! Not sure what you mean when you say you are pleased that his ttg levels are now at "detectable levels"? Earlier in your narrative you said they were originally above 250. Was 250 the upper limit of the scale that was used, such that you actually don't know how high they were originally, i.e. "off the charts"?  Were his other liver test functions (ALT, AST) originally elevated?
