Good staple list to refer to!

This site is a life saver for me. I have only been diagnosed with celiac disease since March 2007, and I am still trying to get familiar with the 'safe foods.' Thanks you so much.

My son was just diagnosed in May and this will be so helpful. Thanks!

Thank you for this list.

AWESOME!!! Thank you so much! I own a small vegan/vegetarian cafe in Baltimore, and I can now offer customers gluten free items! Hope more restaurants follow...

I have been trying for ten years to figure out what was wrong with my son. Finally after ten years of unsure doctors, lotion that stings skin that was like leather, and a extended malnourished looking belly we finally know what has made him a year and a half behind in his growth and was threatening the life of my son. In April of 2007 he was finally diagnosed with celiac disease. With the help of your lists and a change of diet, he no longer has skin of leather, no longer is always starving and is finally gaining weight. Thank you so much for your time in making these lists. Also, because of his diagnosis, I changed my diet to match his and have lost forty pounds because of it. Thank you so much.

This was really helpful because there are a lot of ingredients listed on items that I was unsure of as being safe or not. Thanks!

This list is just what I needed.

My age 9 granddaughter has just been put on a gluten free diet for her weight--she is overweight. This was first hit on correct foods.

I have spent hours trying to find out is cellulose gum was safe for me. thank you for the research you did on this--you are in my favorites now.

Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.
