I will suspect I've found a new gluten-free product on the shelf, but not quit sure. So I look for a 1-800 # on the package and call it right on the spot while standing in the middle of the aisle (I love cell phones) and ask the rep if this product is gluten-free.

Its really amazing how helpful some of this people are! Thats how I found out about Mahatma Yellow rice w/ zaffron, ummmm boy! Love that stuff! Did the same with Prego traditional Spagetti sauce. the Prego people, who are really campbells soup, took my address right there and sent me a whole list of there gluten-free products. Most probably already know this, But it you don't, don't be shy, give um a call.

First of all for those of you who do not have the Delfi List of Gluten Free Product (listed by named brands), you need to have this downloaded onto your computer.

Second, I spend about an hour and half at the grocery store. It has come to one of the things that I enjoy, because it is a challange. I read and read. Only through education, will we get through this. There are actually so many things that we can have that are gluten free. I know that many of you do not have to time to dedicate for shopping. I am fortunate to do so.

I am a firm believer in McCormicks seasonings. I still read the lables because it is too much to inject into this brain fogged mind, to remember many of the items that I have seen on this site. I love seasoned foods and I feel that I cook fairly well.

McCormicks Seasonings

LaChoy Soy Sauce

Tamari (wheat Free) - the best

Emerils (some gluten-free)

Annie's Roasted Pepper Salad Dressing..........are all my staples for good cooking

Tonight's Dinner: Beef Stew with Liptons Onion Dry Mix, beef, carrotts and potatoes. Salad on the side.

I love the grocery store.........it's like a treasure hunt...challenging and a learning experience combined. :):):)

I just learned that 2 foods that I used to love, and thought that I had to give up, were safe! Thanks! Mahatma Saffron Rice and Lipton Dry Onion Soup Mix! I ordered the $30 gluten-free product catalog from this site, but have not looked through everything as there is just too much in it. Never thought that I would be saying that!

Nettiebeads and Karen:

Wow!! :D

It has only been since August that I was screaming for help here on the site. It is hard to believe how much you can learn in this short of time. I couldn't have done it without all of you.

There are so many new names here that I would like to know. I am not so good with the technical part of the disease, but I can sure help others get started and show how well you can eat and avoid gluten.

Thanks for all of your shoulders

Karen - your picture portrays your personality, beautiful.

I am not at all familiar with the delphi list? Sounds like I am missing something, which is no surprise. I was diagnosed in June '05 and this is my first time ever chatting! Please send me the list.

thanks

It's a 79-page list of gluten-free foods updated by the members of a board hosted by Delphiforums.com (under the health and wellness section go to the first celiac forum you see). I'll send it to you, though.

I'm pretty new to all this too - just since October. There is also another resource that I just bought - The CSA Gluten-Free Product Listing. It is almost 400 pages and is around $30. I ordered it from:

Open Original Shared Link

They also have other resources - a new patient packet that is free.

Anyone else buy this book or utilize this website?

I got the list, celiac3270! Thanks a million!!

I still pick up things I KNOW are not gluten free and think... maybe THIS time it will be... hahaha.

I'm so lucky that those who love me also can and do read ingredients before they buy them to cook with.

      Just got Celiac blood test results back and they seem crazy high!

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @TexasCeliacNewbie! The test results you posted strongly point to celiac disease. It is likely that your physician will want to perform an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the results of the celiac antibody bloodwork results you just posted. It is important that you not cut back on gluten consumption until the endoscopy/biopsy is complete, assuming, that is, one is forthcoming.  Can you post the actual reference ranges used by the lab for the tests to determine positive/negative/normal/high/low? Scales used by these labs are different from one place to the other so the raw numbers don't mean much without the scale used by the lab. There aren't industry standards for this. By the way, you probably won't be able to edit the original post so please post the extra info in new post. May we ask about the cancer you mentioned? There are some things that can elevate the antibody test scores, at least mildly, besides celiac disease.

      Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so.  I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab.  Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab.  I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right???  It would explain a lot of things for me that otherwise are worrying me that my previous cancer is recurring.  Thank you for all of your expertise in this area! Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 140 (normal) Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 256 (High) Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 65 (High) t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 31 (High) t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 10 (High)

      So, I would assume it means that if the risk of developing celiac disease in the general population is 1%, people with the DQ2 gene have a 10% risk of developing celiac disease. So, have you or your physician concluded that you have celiac disease?

      Here's the test result I was refering to.  I may not be understanding this correctly.

      Thanks for the update @TerryinCO! Would you elaborate what you mean when you say your genetic tests show that you are "10x higher" for developing celiac disease? 10x higher than what? There are two main genes, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8, that have been identified as providing the potential for developing celiac disease. Since 40% of the population carries one or both of these genes but only 1% of the population actually develops celiac disease, the genetic test cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease, simply to establish the potential for developing it. Gene testing is usually done to rule out celiac disease vs. NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). In other words, if gluten consumption is definitely causing someone problems but they don't have the genetic potential for developing celiac disease then the diagnosis would be NCGS. We also know that having both DQ2 and DQ8 puts one at higher risk for developing celiac disease than having just one or the other. But I'm not sure I've ever seen it quantified as in "10x higher". Not sure what you mean by this.
