Hi everyone.  I was diagnosed with Celiac three days ago and am slowly
feeling better.  I am having difficulty comprehending what all of this new
stuff means.  As yet I haven't found a list of what products to avoid in
the grocery store.  I am aware that wheat, HVP and the like are dangerous
but what else do i need to look for.  I have called the local chapter of
the celiac association and they are sending out info. Also  I have a
friend who is Celiac.  Is there anything else I can do.  I am feeling
overwhelmed and would appreciate any words of support etc.  My wife is
very supportive and so is my family.  What I would like to hear is what
problems have been encountered in eating out and the like.  Any and all
info would be appreciated.

Thanks for the support.
