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.

Glad to hear you feel better. snacks can be anything.. Glutino and Snyder's both have excellent gluten-free pretzels.Michael Season's has cheese curls that are yummy. Doritios are clearly labeled, & so is lay's & Herr's...Nuts, fruits, &veggies make for wholesome snacking.

Other snacks are gluten-free protein bars, jerky,peanut butter or sunbutter & crackers..cheese cubes...Celery & cream cheese or nutbutter. Raisins, dates,,,, salsa &corn chips....

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.

a lot of things on facebook, too as far as companies.

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.

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note:...

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging.

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.
