   Celiac Disease Diet

   I have celiac disease, it is no big deal. You are allergic to wheat, and gluten. Gluten includes oats, barley, malt, beer, rye, some liquors. Now unless you get grass grazing cows,( not the regular industrialized cows,-they eat wheat, rye, grains) eventually don’t eat beef and milk, dairy. But you can still eat corn, potatoes, beans, sugar, fruit, vegetables. You are lucky you are aware of this early. You will live more healthfully. Celiac disease, the body can not digest gluten, which includes wheat. So you don’t get nutrition. This bloats your stomach, gives you intestinal pain, makes you irritable because your brain is not getting fed, and hurts your cellular life. Makes me itch, ***** skin, get a rash, tickle in my throat, cough. Not disabling, unless the coughing gets to asthma level. So now you have to eliminate foods, easiest start no bread, cake, cookies, cereal. Tip, buy an ice cream birthday cake, until you get off dairy. And only cereal on the market without wheat or malt, believe it or not is Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles-rice. So read ingredients. Then after master getting off wheat, work on reducing and eliminating dairy. If I slip and eat wheat and get allergy reaction, I take an anti-histamine. Makes me tired, don’t like them. So, good news, you will be thin, pretty, and never bloated again, outside of your monthly cycle, if you are female.
   I don’t understand about the joints aching. see a chiropractor and check if your back is properly aligned. You can take gloucosamine for joints and daily multi vitamin. Celiac and joint pain are really not related, except, if you were not digesting food, your bones might not be as strong as they should. Seeing you are still young, nature compensated while you were growing. I have to start getting organic and grazing animal produsts that eat grass. Lazy, I live on potato chips, rice cakes with peanut butter and jelly and ice cream. Still working on eliminating dairy. Just elimate foods one group at a time. You can eat rice, chinese food, no pasta, but there is gluten free in health food stores, what out for malt though. I have seen gluten free with malt as ingredient. you can eat some corn chips, some cheese puffs, pop corn, fish, plus. I guess hunted food would be natural and good, if you know any hunters, they can give or sell you some meat.
   So it is really not as bad as you think. And think how thin and fabulous you will be throughout all the years, easy into fifty and sixty. You are lucky your doctors were sharp. I actually went to allergists who didn’t diagnose it, or even tell me I was allergic to wheat. I found out when I gave Adkins a trial run.
   I have been trying to eat gluten free for about a year. Any questions, concerns, need support, you are always welcome to email me

   **** I really have to disagree a bit. I take anti-histamine to stop itch from gluten, it is not suggested, calms itch.
   -When I looked up gluten, oats was one of grains to avoid, but I would double check, not trying to limit food.
   -Unless they changed, chex list either wheat flour or MALT.
   Malt is from wheat.
   -I know, you eat what the aniaml eats. So if animal eats grains you eat grains, especially milk. Same as woman’s ****** milk- why women watch meds, spices, caffeine etc when ****** feeding.
   Keep food diary, you will get pains, bloating when eat what affects you. When your system clears, you will get faster reactions when you reintroduce gluten items, hopefully by accident, and not binge.

   Although maybe I have allergy and celiac. So I might be reacting to more foods, and have to take it to the extreme of what animal eats. If still have problems, take it to the next level, I am. I also got a witness on that, I thought it, God confirmed it ,through media reports and TBN health and diet reports, so I am confident about the animal comments.
   There is always new research, maybe our expert needs to catch up a bit.

   Gluten Free Gifts

   Hi, I too have coeliac disease and I’m 22. Which joints have been aching? When I was eating gluten, I would wake up with my hands in fists and they were soooo achy! I would give the diet a little time to work before stressing out about osteoporosis. It would be highly unusual at your age and is more likely to be a symptom of only having been on the gluten-free diet for a little while. I’d also double check that you aren’t accidentally eating gluten somewhere - it’s hidden in chocolate, baked beans, tinned goods etc. You could try work, but it depends on what sort of work you’re doing because if it’s causing a lot of pain then don’t go back to work unless you NEED to (for financial reasons etc). If things still aren’t right in a few weeks then go ahead and mention it to your doctor (either your current one or a new one). Best of luck

   Gluten Free Meals

   I think there would be no harm in going back to work, as long as you dont over do it. if it gets too much, at least then you can say you tried.

   I have a very rare illness, (I have no red blood cell production) and also have depression, I still work, so i’m sure you will be fine.

   Gluten Free Products

   Hi, you are way too young to have osteopenia or osteoporosis d/t celiac at this time. You are taking a calcium supplement, yes? One thing that you really need to consider is that celiac is linked to Rheumatoid Arthritis. It sounds like you need to go to your doctor and get a referral to a Rheumatologist to check you for RA. Your symptoms sound more like RA and not like osteoporosis where you would have pains in your back and hips, etc. Call your doc and let them know about your hands and have them check you for RA, there are medications that you can take to help with it. Also, as you spend more time being gf, the better you will feel. I want you to go to this website and check out the forum, people on there are very knowledgeable and very willing to help!
   Congrats on your diagnosis and happy healing! You will be feeling better soon!
   p.s. just want to clear something up:
   1. Oats ARE gluten free, the regular commercial stuff is just cc’d (cross contaminated). You just need to be sure to purchase the oats that have been grown, transported, and processed in a gf facility. (e.g. Bob’s Red Mill products, go here:
   2.Rice Chex are also now gluten free, so add a cereal to that list. I heard a rumor corn chex could be next!
   3. You are NOT allergic, you are intolerant. Not a histamine reaction (allergy) , but an autoimmune reaction. Don’t let anyone tell you to take a Benadryl and then you can eat whatever you want, it doesn’t work that way!
   4. All fresh meat is gluten free. No matter what they eat in the field, etc.
   5. You might need to be lactose free in the beginning d/t your villi tips being damaged (that is where the lactase is made). Please do a lactose challenge in a year to see if you truly are lactose intolerant. If you are not, please consume as much dairy as you want. With osteoporosis lurking, you need to do a lot of dairy or take a calcium supplement.
   6. Beware of chinese food. The soy sauce which is the base for many of the sauces that they cook in contains wheat. LaChoy is one of the few gluten free soy sauces out there. Read those ingredients very carefully and only get steamed foods when you go to a asian food style restaurant.
   I didn’t want the first poster confusing you, sorry for all the edits.
