I have come across an iPhone/iPod app called Celiac Feed. It's based on user contributions which can detect your location and then suggest restaurants and stores which provide gluten free options. Please consider loading it (it's FREE!) and adding the places you trust near your home. It's very easy to make recommendations, just type in the name of place and it'll give you a list of locations from which to choose and then you can offer any comments/notes to share. I have contributed for my area of Houston and now it'll be a great resource for anyone who comes to my neck of the woods. I hope others will do the same so I and others can benefit when in your area.

Also, another great app is "Is that Gluten Free?" Cost is $5.99.

Thanks for the Celiac Feed recommendation. I'll take a look. "Is That Gluten Free" has saved my butt at the grocery store a number of times. Well worth $6 IMO.

Yeah I've heard about those apps. I have a Palm phone, and so far I haven't seen any Palm apps like that. I really wish there were, because I would use it all the time!

The BEST iPod app is the "Gluten-Free Guide" by triumph dinning It's a guide (duh) that lists all kinds of food by category or search that are gluten-free! It's like 18$ but it's beyond worth it! It's the reason I bought my iPod....

*edited to add*

I forgot to mention that it doesn't require internet to use the app...

Thanks for that info. I can tell you what app NOT to get! Its called glutenScan. It's HORRIBLE!! Please don't waste your money on that one. I payed $2, and found out it was a monthly subscription, costing another $2 every month! So, I only had it for 1 month, but even THAT was a waste because it doesn't work without internet access, and what grocery stores have internet access?? If I was in Walmart and wanted to know if something contained gluten, not possible until I got home and got online. Just wanted to save anyone the money they'd waste on that app. I'm going to check out the one you just recommended though, so thanks!!

tgrand, thanks for that app!! I just got it and already added a place, and it's the ONLY place listed where I live now, which I figured, ti's a small place in Montana, but hey, I'll add whenever I can, and now people traveling through Montana can have an option! I can't wait to try this out when we travel to CO this summer!

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By ABP2025 · Posted

      I wish more doctors emphasized on the importance of Vitamin D. I'll increase the Vitamin D3 supplementation from 2000 IU to 4000 IU. I'll also try Benfotiamine and see if my symptoms improve. Thanks for your suggestions.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      By Dora77 · Posted

      Hey, the pan is scrubbed with soap and water, and after that wiped with vinegar oil. Is that ok or should I consider switching pans and only cooking glutenfree there? The oven is wiped with vinegar oil. Is this enough? Also different celiacs have different symtpoms and reactions, does this also mean that maybe some celiacs only react at lets say 100mg gluten per day? Or will that damage any celiac? I have no symptoms, but my pancreas elestase was tested extremely low, which indicated pancreatic insufficiency. I dont know if celiac caused it or not. Also do you guys think a celiac can be safe with other gluten eating family members? like of 5 family members, only 2 eat glutenfree. Can the celiacs still be safe? Does the dishwasher for example usually clean all gluten of the dishes?

      9 Year Old test results - help interpret

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8, Yes, the bloodwork is confusing.   One has to be eating a sufficient amount of gluten (10 grams/day, about 5-6 slices of bread) in order for the antibody level to get high enough to be measured in the bloodstream.  If insufficient amounts of gluten are eaten, the the antibodies stay in the small intestines, hence the statement "tTG IgA may normalize in individuals with celiac disease who maintain a gluten-free diet."  The bloodwork reflects anemia.  People with anemia can have false negatives on tTg IgA tests because anemia interferes with antibody production.  Diabetes and Thiamine deficiency are other conditions that may result in false negatives.  Anemias, B12 deficiency, iron deficiency, Thiamine deficiency and gastritis are common in undiagnosed Celiac disease.    The DGP IgG antibody test should be given because your daughter is so young.  Many young people test positive on DGP IgG because their immune systems are not mature and don't produce IgA antibodies yet.  Your daughter has several alleles (genes for Celiac disease).   Your daughter needs to be checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Iron (ferritin) B12, Vitamin D, Thiamine and Vitamin A should be checked.   Were any biopsies taken during the endoscopy? Keep us posted on your progress.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      The intestinal tract can be as long as twenty-two feet long, so intestinal damage may be out of the reach of endoscopy tools.  Some people have had more success with capsule endoscopy, but this method cannot take biopsies.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jack Common, It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ For clarification, the weight of your slice of bread is not equal to the amount of gluten in it.   Gluten helps form those big holes in breads, so breads like thick chewy pizza crust and artisan breads contain more gluten than cakes and cookies.
