hello friends,

I have been away for the past few months. I was in the Camp Hill area and they have a group that meet every month accept the Holidays. I want to see a group get started that meets monthy where we share our recipes and learn how to deal with this illness. If this is something you guys would like to see let me know.

I am from the Harrisburg area, and besides my two celiac friends I really don't know anyone else. If anyone is ever going to get together and go out to eat down towards the Philly area I am willing to travel to dine with people who understand. I think we should do a road trip to Doylestown for the gluten-free pizza.

If you roadtrip to Doylestown PM me. Jules is great! They also sell gluten-free dessert items at the counter (prepackaged stuff - so their extra safe!)

I'd meet you there.

Thanks, I will let you know when we are thinking of heading out. Right now things are hectic with work and by the weather this morning it looks like winter has arrived. I will remember that though.

Echoing that - we live about 20 mins away from Jules. It was great. I did take out so didn't get the gluten free treats! I'll have to dine in next time!

Hi! I live in the Malvern/West Chester area and was diagnosed last November along with my 16 year old son who is much sicker and having a lot more adaptation problems than I am. Is there really gluten-free pizza commercially available anywhere? Doylestown is quite a hike for us.

Hi,

I've been looking for people to meet up with in the Philly area if anyone is interested.

Ken Ritter

Hey I live outside of Philadelphia in the suburbs about 20 miles north. Ive been doing the diet for about 2 weeks now and doing pretty well. Id be interested in having some sort of meeting. My uncle does the diet and a girl I work with does too. I know she would probably be interested too.

I'm in Limerick, kinda halfway between KoP and Pottstown. Self dx'd about 2 weeks ago. Anyone know of a support group out this way? I don't mind driving longer distances, but would definitely appreciate company on the way there and back, so if anyone in the local area is interested in carpooling, let me know. I'd also be more likely to actually make it to meetings if there's someone else along. I don't mind driving out to the Harrisburg area if something's going on, since Mom lives in Camp Hill and she has crash space.

There are a few Harrisburg celiacs on here, we would love to have a gathering one day :)

      Being a burden to family/friends

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another. If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on. They're just not ready to learn that lesson...

      I’m so confused…

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start...

      Recipe Apps?

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances. It's a web site but there's also an app.

      OTC pain reliever that are gluten-free and corn free??

      You could try white willow bark, but make sure it's in a safe dosage range. Herbs aren't regulated the way prescriptions are. White willow bark works a lot like aspirin but is often milder on the stomach. I used to use Nature's Way white willow bark. I was told it was corn free at that time. Double check with the manufacturer to make sure it's free of...

Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another.   If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on.  They're just not ready to learn that lesson.  But you confidently keep going on your journey.  They can catch up later.
