I am fairly new to the Celiac thing and just wondering how everyone keeps track of what is gluten free and where you got it. I am in a fairly rural area and so when I go to a town farther away I am always looking and I am there forever reading labels. Does anyone make your own list to go by and keep track because what is at one store may not be at the next. I have taken notes but they don't seem to make it in one spot and then I am reading and looking all over the place again. Any ideas I would appreciate it, thanks.

I printed out a no no list & a okay list from Clan Thompson's site . It was many pages but I carried it around for a few months until it became old hat.... It actually wore out... I do alot of ordering by mailorder & when I do get to a gluten-free store I stock up.......

Depening on what grocery stores you have, most all grocery store chains I have called have a gluten free list of their store brands. I've received lists from Safeway, Kroger, and Albertsons. If you have any those around. Seeing as all 3 places I contacted had one, I figure most other chains do too.

I printed out the list from this site that has the safe and forbidden ingredients on it.

On the back I wrote the names of the companies that don't hide gluten so I know that if any of the obvious gluten words aren't in their labels then I can trust that the product is ok.

Then, when I see something that I want to buy but I don't know if it is ok, I write it on my current shopping list. When I get home I look it up online and write the results on that same sheet so the next time I'm in the grocery store I will know that I checked it and it is/isn't ok. I have a bunch of products on the sheet that I checked out.

In the beginning I referenced this all the time. Now, I have my staples - I know if I want spaghetti sauce or other things which brand to choose. It really does get easier but I remember being in the store and wishing I had the internet right there so I could check things out on the spot.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Nicbent35 · Posted

      Wow she was just playing with play dough yesterday and I actually thought i wonder if I have to worry about play dough! But no meltdowns yesterday. Is your daughter celiac or just gluten sensitive/intolerant? Your son still had to go on Ritalin after going gluten free?

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By growlinhard1 · Posted

      I had the endoscopy with biopsy done. I have gastritis and duodenitis at this point. The biopsy should provide the cause of the inflammation findings. How common are these findings when Celiac is the ultimate culprit?

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @cookiesyum, I lasted on staton for about a month before getting so weak I had to stop.   Switched to Nicotinic Acid and I posted the results in a previous post.  Instead of getting sicker and weaker on the statin I feel I am improving day by day.  Nicotinic Acid was first used for cholesterol in 1955.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      According to research, consuming gluten can potentially trigger sudden mood swings and increased irritability in children, particularly those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, making them more likely to have tantrums or display behavioral issues; this is because gluten can trigger an immune response in the body, potentially impacting brain function and neurotransmitter levels.  When my son was diagnosed in 1976 when he was weaned his doctor told us that at 5 years old his kindergarden teacher would beg us to put him on Ritalin.  And so it did happen.  My son was on Ritalin though high school.  In the morning he was a devil who could not put on his socks. Half an hour after the morning dose he was an angel wanting to help mom get ready.  Talk about Jekyll and Hyde! Dr Danel Amen could be a good resource for you.

      Yes, it certainly can! My daughter has a reaction from just playing with Playdough. She doesn't get GI symptoms at first, just psychological mostly. It can get really bad. It's like night/day behavior. My daughter is eight, but started showing signs around 6.
