Other than "Wheat Belly," anyone have good book suggestions (not cookbook) I'm new to all this.

I bought a book called "Celiac Disease for Dummies" when I was first diagnosed.   Found it very helpful.  We're going back ten years now, so I expect it's been revised since then.  I'm in the UK - but pretty sure the authors were Americans.

Sometimes celiacs suffer from Anxiety and/or Depression at the time of diagnosis.  I did and found The Depression Cure by Steve Llardi very helpful, as was Paul David's At Last A Life.

You are more than welcome - happy reading!  But without wanting to sound biased, as I am a Mod, I think this website was just as helpful, if not moreso, so stick around! 😉

Welcome, @JBeth!

 I like the book The Autoimmune Protocol Diet by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  She also has cookbooks for the AIP diet, too.

Thanks! I'll look into that one 🙂

Bias or not, so far this website seems very comprehensive and a good resource. I definitely will stick around ✌️

      Is it likely this is Celiac?

      Thank you so much! I appreciate it, I was thinking the same thing so I guess it's just waiting for the biopsy results now! Thanks again!

      Is it likely this is Celiac?

      Well come to the forum @AdelaW! One positive celiac blood antibody test with flattened villi in the small bowel would strongly support a diagnosis of celiac disease. There are some other medical problems that could cause these things but the odds of this being the case are very small when compared to the likelihood of celiac disease being the culprit...

      Is it likely this is Celiac?

      Hi! In the last couple weeks I had a blood panel done for digestive issues and tested weak positive for celiac. My tTG IgG was a 6 with the range being 0-5 negative, 6-9 weak positive and 9+ positive. All my other test levels were normal such as tTG IgA, deamidated gliadin Abs IgG and deamidated gliadin Abs IgA. However I must note that my level of IgA was...

      Inhaler problem

      Gluten shows up in Anesthesia, anti- inflammatory meds, pain meds. That's from a real experience because I had dental surgery and Dentist didn't know. I couldn't hold food or water down for over 24 hours. Eventually it wore off but was scary. The point made that because trace amounts of gluten is deemed acceptable, the impact to some of us can be huge when...

      TTG-IGA Question

      This may help you get off onto the right foot: There usually is quite a learning curve involved in attaining to consistency in gluten free eating. Attaining a "low gluten" diet is easy because you simply cut out the obvious things like bread and pasta. It's the places gluten is found in the food industry that you would never expect that trips up newbies...

      Hi! In the last couple weeks I had a blood panel done for digestive issues and tested weak positive for celiac. My tTG IgG was a 6 with the range being 0-5 negative, 6-9 weak positive and 9+ positive. All my other test levels were normal such as tTG IgA, deamidated gliadin Abs IgG and deamidated gliadin Abs IgA. However I must note that my level of IgA was too low and could cause skewed test results so they had to run a second blood panel with the IgG and used that as my main test due to the deficiencies of the IgA antibodies in my immune system overall. So for me the IgA test results seemed to be null due to the deficiency. My doctor stated she was unsure whether this was a false positive and I got an endoscopy today (still waiting for results) but she mentioned my small intestine had some flatness which can be an effect of celiac. With this weak positive and flatness in my small intestine does it seem likely I could have celiac? I just wanted to get some opinions from others in the community, thank you!

      This may help you get off onto the right foot:  There usually is quite a learning curve involved in attaining to consistency in gluten free eating. Attaining a "low gluten" diet is easy because you simply cut out the obvious things like bread and pasta. It's the places gluten is found in the food industry that you would never expect that trips up newbies and also the whole area of cross contamination, which involves things that would be naturally gluten free but come into contact with gluten things and thereby pick up gluten incidentally. So, you order a fried egg and sausage but forget that it will be cooked on the same grill that was used to cook someone else's French toast. Or you go to a spaghetti place and order gluten free pasta but they cook it in the same pot with wheat noodles. That kind of thing. Or you buy cough drops and find out that after sucking on several of them and getting an upset tummy that they contained wheat. Wheat can be used as filler and a texturing agent in pills and meds. And would you ever have thought that soy sauce and Campbells tomato soup would have wheat in them. Read the labels sometime.
