I am 23 years old and was diagnosed with Celiacs disease a little over a month ago. I was feeling so awful before I was on it and now I am feeling better. I am having trouble with finding snacks and little things I can eat throughout that day. I am finding the whole thing kinda difficult and could use any advice anyone has to offer.

If you are ok with corn, popcorn makes a great snack. Apples sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar are great. Lately, I have been making and eating a lot of crustless pumpkin pies. They are really good and easy.

a llot of the frito lay products are gluten free so for snacks i would check them. if you go online to the website of the company, sometimes it will say gluten free or you can write to the company. learning how to read labels is your best bet check this page, print it out and bring it to the supermarket with you and be ready to read read read forever! after awhile you will just remember a lot of ingredients, too. dont worry, you will be fine over time.

I am new, too, and having a hard time keeping all the gluten out of my diet even though I am being careful and am not cheating.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
