Hi Ella,

You can eat rice… Celiac disease is an auto-immune disorder caused by gluten which are a group of proteins found in wheat, rye, and barley. You have to be careful however and want to choose products that are labeled as gluten free and make sure they are processed in gluten free factories. Otherwise you may be inadvertently getting gluten due to cross contamination if the factory is also processing gluten containing products. Many processed products contain gluten so my best advice and the advice I give to most folks who are not gluten sensitive is to eat more unprocessed fruits and veggies.

I am in the process of being tested for celiac- can anyone give me a few pointers like what to eat? I’m losing weight.
Can I eat white rice? What to snack on too.

Thanks for the help
Ella

I am a cancer survivor and have had “chronic fatigue” for 8++years with no real explaination as to why or how to address it. I have been to several specialists, spending lots of $$$$ seeking an explaination /treatment. Recently my blood test results came back as being allergic to gluten ( meaning not to eat gluten –EVER–as explained by my doctor). I have been on a gluten free program since and have increased in energy, clear thinking for the past 2 months. I am grateful for the awareness and availability for gluten free foods because it can make people so very sick.

I am gluten intolerant and have a gene typically associated with gluten intolernace. I tested with Dr. Kenneth Fine’s lab. I cut out gluten on my own after having symptoms – gastrointestinal, hip pain, headaches, that all miraculously went away when I stopped eating gluten. One accidental ingestion of gluten and I was sick for two days. People like JC need to understand that when you are suffering because your body CAN’T process something, then you NEED to NOT eat that food. I am finally well and feel normal whereas before I was getting worse and worse and didn’t know why. For many people, this is not a fad but a necessity. Eating gluten literally makes us sick – no ifs, ands, or buts.

I am so excited that an easy to understand book was written. I am seeing more and more Celiac friendly alternatives available, and am glad that someone is able to use their celebrity to spread awareness of gluten related ailments. There are so many people out there suffering from Celiac Disease that don’t have to be. If you suspect that you may have the disease, insist on being tested, even if your doctor says that it is “unlikely” because you don’t have the textbook symptoms.
Yes, JC needs to go away, it’s sad that some people are so simple.

I have been suffering with gluten intolerance for 12 years. I never knew there was a name for it. Now maybe I will find some relief. Thank you.

JC — please stop posting stupid things. Someone with celiac can’t consume gluten, whether that gluten is in food, drugs, drinks, etc.

With respect of your other comments, clearly people should (within whatever dietary constraints they face) eat in the healthiest way possible to ensure a well-balanced diet. duh.

Stop posting misinformation — someone with celiac disease who is recently diagnosed may mistakenly think you know what you are talking about
