Celiac Disease and Gluten Free

My 13 yr old son was just diagnosed with Celiac Disease May 2013. Me being a Mom, I'm trying very hard to eat a gluten free diet with him, but have noticed I'm gaining weight with all the extra fat and calories in processed gluten free foods.

My whole family is trying very hard to eat naturally gluten free foods, but sometimes it's a challenge to eat healthy all the time. If anyone out there that has been there and would like to give me some good ideas for a meal plan I would love to hear from you.

I look forward to sharing this journey with anyone that is Gluten Free and is aware of the needs for Celiac.

    My Dad has Celiac and I have some symptoms. Right now I can not eat sugar or wheat for my bladder. So I was looking at the Gulten Free Prepackaged foods and they are jammed full of sugar. Add me if you would like to check out my diary. The prepackaged stuff would be great for a kid because its fast and easy. But I would gain a ton of weight.

    I know from my Dad there is Gulten in even canned peas it is seriously everywhere.
