Hi, everyone! I am new to this site but was diagnosed in 1987 with gluten intolerance and then later with Celiac. I have a large family all of whom are either gluten intolerant or Celiac. Some follow the restrictions, some do not. As for me, I watch my foods and products like a hawk because the symptoms are so awful if disregarded.

I am glad to see that Las Vegas has a forum however, it does not look like it is very active.

As a family we are involved in health care in this community and work with a lot of gluten intolerant folks. Amazing how their lives feel "reborn" with just the elimination of gluten! I love sharing with others that there is another way to feel better and they are the ones responsible for how they feel by what they ingest! No one has to rely on someone else to make them feel better. We are all "in charge" of ourselves. Nice to know the responsibility lies within us.

Welcome to you all. There can be ups and downs and it can be frustrating at times but the folks on this board are here to help you in any way they can. Ask any questions you need to and do feel free to vent if needed. We have members from all over the world so if you live in a country or area where eating gluten free can seem a bit daunting just ask what you need to ask and hopefully someone will be able to help.

I hope you all continue to improve.

I always wonder what it's like for people living in food-limited places. When there is nothing to eat besides something with gluten, is it better to eat the poison or to starve??? :(

It must be extremely difficult for you to adjust while also trying to cook for your family. Maybe try cooking some gluten-free dishes without even telling them it's gluten-free? Then everyone can enjoy the meal together.

Hi! I too am both newly diagnosed and new to this forum. I am very glad to read your reactions to eliminating gluten from your diet. I have been gluten free for less than a month. At first, I thought my gi symptoms were gone for good, but I have days when they flare up again. I am being extremely careful, but it almost feels as though I am getting accidentally glutened. Anyone have any thoughts??

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
