I wanted to get a group of gluten-free people together for the holidays. How many people in the Orange County, Sullivan County, Pike County and Sussex County areas would be interested in meeting for gluten-free eating and holiday festivities?

There are ONLY 10 weekends until Christmas EVE!!!!!!!

I am from upstate NY, Binghamton area. I travel up and down the east coast to catch a few Bruce Springsteen concerts, hoping for another holiday show. Anyway, I would love a gluten-free holiday party. Don't know any celiacs personally, well other than my son's principals daughter.

Normally, each year I try to have Thanksgiving and a "Festivus" dinner party.

The ironic thing is the meal is completely gluten free, but I am the only Celiac that attends.....I am always surrounded by "gluten-friendly-folks"...

ANOTHER FESTIVUS MIRACLE!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in Orange County NY (well I will be from Dec. 22nd - Jan 2nd at least), the rest of the time I'm in PA (college).

I'm 20 and would certainly be interested in a gluten-free holiday get-together.... my mom's not being too cooperative about the whole gluten-free thing (she doesn't like to cook to begin with), so I know for Thanksgiving I'm making my own gluten-free stuffing, because her response to the family member that cooks Thanksgiving dinner was, "Well Jess just won't eat the stuffing, because that's certainly not gluten-free!" Thanks Mom for speaking for me:-) haha

I could definitely be down for a local celiac get together. I live in Orange County, but don't mind driving all over b/c I do that for work anyway. Let's get something going...

I cook Thanksgiving Dinner so that my husband and I can eat it too! The family seems to enjoy the whole meal and we eat gluten-free!

The more tasty, gluten-free foods that you can bring along helps as well as realizing that some foods can be gluten-free without them really trying. :P

      Yes stress can .make the pain worse. That being said it is taking years for my body to heal. I am not able to eat out as 98 % of restaurants do not know how to cook for celiacs.  I only eat out on special occasions. Any time I eat gluten I feel there is a tourch going through my digestive system specifically in the area you have mentioned.  Like where the deudenal is . I am very sensitive to cross contamination so any small amount of gluten makes me sick.

      @Ems10, celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps. The first one is serum antibody testing which you may have already have had done and are waiting on the results. The second step involves and endoscopy (aka, gastroscopy) with biopsy of the small bowel lining. This second step is typically ordered if one or more antibody tests were positive, is a confirmation of the serum antibody testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease. Now hear this, you should not be eating gluten free weeks or months in advance of either kind of testing. Prematurely going on a gluten free diet can and will sabotage the results of the endoscopy/biopsy should you get a referral to a GI doc who would want to do that. Eliminating gluten from the diet causes causes inflammation to subside which allows the small bowel ling to heal such that the damage they would be looking for is no longer there.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      It might make sense for you to find out if they've run a celiac disease test on you, and if not, consider planning for it.

      Thanks for your reply! I’m really not too sure, the doctor just took a few tubes of blood & that’s all I know 🥹
