I'm really angry because my mom doesnt want me go to my Celiac Chapter meeting on Nov.4 in Regina. :angry: she keeps coming up with excuses to why I cant go. I'd even skip a day of college for that. its supposed to be bowling (which is terribly miss) and pizza night. and you can bring anyone. she doesnt want to listen to me when I say why am I paying $40 a year for a membership if I'm not even allowed to be a part of any of the meeting or gatherings?? :blink:

Its all of my family who are the ones that keep saying they dont know anything about Celiac and have never heard of it or anything, so this is their good chance to finally learn at least somewhat, taste some glutenfree food and have some fun. :angry:

Anyone one here from Saskatchewan that is going to it????

How old are you? It's a shame that your own family can't support you - and get the education they need. What a wonderful opportunity to go someplace where you won't have to worry about getting sick from the food. I know that's ALWAYS on the back of my mind whenever I go someplace other than home or work. Kinda sucks, but it's the only way to stay healthy.

I'm 21..But the thing is, i dont drive (its not something i'm skilled at at all) so without someone taking me, I have no way of going..I'd take the bus, but then I'd have no way to get to the bowling alley, and then nowhere to stay :P .. I dont know, it just really makes me dislike having Celiac all over again....

(clutching at straws)

- do you have a contact name(s) in the chapter who could meet you at the bus stop?

- are there web sites where you can research a suitable B+B or other place to stay where you can stay overnight and be sure of gluten-free catering? can the chapter suggest or recommend one?

I have this problem often enough on this small island, my heart goes out to you in the wide open spaces of N America ... hoping the best for you.

In the very worst case scenario it is NOT a victory for those who didn't want you to go, it's a thing there were practical obstacles against and you will do all you can and enlist others to help bring it about next time or the time after ...

Maybe your being seen to try & organise the above & enlist the assistance of chapter members might spark the imagination of those closer to you after all ...

:rolleyes:

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By trents · Posted

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
