My 2.5 yr old daughter just had her bx, and I just have a feeling that she has celiac...results back on Tuesday. Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions of a good book to learn about celiac...specifically for my mom who watches my daughter a few days a week. I spend time online, but my mom doesn't go online. I need something that explains the basics of celiac disease, the diet, and the importance of following the diet. She's already said to me..."she can have regular pizza once in a while, right?" She just doesn't understand, and I think it would sink in better if she could read a book about it. Thanks!

Celiac Disease, a Hidden Epedemic by Dr. Peter Green, is a good book. The Celiac Sprue Association will send out an information packet for free. I had one sent to my sister.

I have the book "Gluten free for Dummies" by Danna Korn. It is written for anyone who wants to learn about the gluten-free lifestyle, and explains things very simply. It would be very helpful for you and your mom.

I agree, Danna Korn explains things very simply and also with tasteful humor that makes it easy for anyone to understand. She also has some good simple recipes listed that your mom could make such as super easy peanut butter cookies etc.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god
