Celiac Menu - Digestive Disorders Message Board

VincentA · 09-27-2004, 08:13 AM

This is going to be a tough question to answer since we really aren't supposed to post web sites here, but my doctor thinks I may have Celiac and wants me to try a wheat free diet for 2 weeks. Since I may not have it I do not want to go out and buy a book about what I am allowed to eat so I am using the web.

Can someone give me a good sample menu of what a typical Celiac might eat for lunch and dinner. I am covered with breakfast eating puffed rice or eggs.

I also have read in some places that some foods are OK and other places that they are not. Like Ketchup and Mustard because the have grained vineager.

Anyway I am pretty confused and maybe a book is the beast idea.
Can you all recommend one? I think that is allowed?

Thanks for all your help.

i eat more then that, but thats a good start for you..

ps: check for crosscontamintion of certain items..ie rice cakes..etc..call the companies...ask them for questions ie: production lines..somtimes are contaminated with wheat flour(gluten)...ask them if their lines are well cleaned..
that should start you off right..gogogo..

If you have any wonders about a product, simply call the company. Most major companies can send you a list of all of their gluten free items. Kraft, Nestle, and Lipton are great with their labelling because if a product contains gluten, it will specilfy wheat right in the ingredients. My celiac daughter enjoys most Kraft sauces, and dressings, and Heinz ketchup and mustard. We are in Canada, however, and ingredients differ elsewhere. I have found most companies extremely helpful, in fact I always shop with my cell phone, and if I have any questions about a product I call the 1 800 number from the grocery store.
