Any Celiacs Near Denver, Colorado?

Hi all!

 

Anyone living in or near Denver? I'm a recently diagnosed celiac, just 4 months into the gluten-free thing. Still struggling, frustrated, feeling discouraged about ever being able to eat outside my house again. It would be nice to have a group of friends nearby who can share the same experiences. :-)

Have you googled "celiac support Denver"  I'm sure there is a group.  You live in a great area for gluten-free eating.  My son is at CSU.  We like Beau Jos for pizza.  There are all the usual good Celiac friendly places like Outback Steak, Bonefish Grill, Pf Changs, Pei Wei (? not sure if its in CO).  And a bunch more.  

 

There is someone who just mentioned a pizza place in Co Springs.  I think they have a Denver location.

Thanks Kareng, I did look that up and found the Denver Metro Celiac Support Chapter. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they are very active, they show no meetings, classes or event through April 15th. I didn't think it would be so difficult finding other celiacs here - like you said, it's a very supportive area for gluten free eating. I even tried starting a meetup group, but got no interest. All the Colorado celiacs must still be in the closet - come out out! :-)

Looks like they meet every other month and have a meeting tonight.

I didn't see that, thanks. Unfortunately, Englewood is at least 45 minutes away, and by the time I get off work tonight, I'd miss most of the meeting. Ah well, maybe in two months....

 

In the meantime and in between time, any local celiacs that want to get together, I sure would like to find them! :-)

Hey Tonalynn, I live in Golden, CO and I was just looking today for local celiacs support groups. Did you ever find anything here in town?

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      @ARSTONE, not to be picky because there has been evolution in the terminology with regard to gluten disorders. And the terms "gluten intolerance" and "gluten sensitivity" are still used by some interchangeably. But with time, "gluten intolerance" has become synonymous with celiac disease with "gluten sensitivity" referring to NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Having said that, whatever it may be, apparently there is an ingredient in that product that doesn't agree with you.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      @Manaan2, You may want to consider switching from Miralax (polyethylene glycol) to magnesium citrate and Thiamine supplements.   When I was prescribed Miralax for constipation, I developed worsened gastrointestinal problems, including worsening leaky gut syndrome.  Since polyethylene glycol is a synthetic chemical made from petroleum or coal byproducts, I was uncomfortable with that.   Miralax can cause poor vitamin absorption, flushing vitamins and minerals away before they can be absorbed.  Miralax can cause electrolyte imbalances, meaning low magnesium.  Low magnesium levels can cause constipation.  Low Thiamine Vitamin B1 can cause constipation as well.  Magnesium and Thiamine work together to make life sustaining enzymes.  Without sufficient thiamine and magnesium, the gastrointestinal tract slows down resulting in constipation, a sort of catch twenty-two.   I quit taking Miralax.  I took a form of Thiamine, Benfotiamine 250-300 mg, at the beginning of every meal and 200mg magnesium citrate or magnesium glycinate or magnesium l-threonate (Neuromag) at the end of every meal.  My constipation resolved quickly.  When my stool got too loose, I simply reduced the amount of magnesium.  I did not reduce Benfotiamine which has been shown to promote intestinal health and reduce leaky gut syndrome.  If thiamine at night gives too much energy to fall asleep at night, skip the Benfotiamine at the last evening meal. Blood tests ate not accurate measures of vitamin sufficiency.  The best way to check for Thiamine insufficiency is to take it and look for health improvement within a few days.  Thiamine is water soluble, easily excreted in urine if not needed.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic when used in high doses.  No harm in trying, just to rule this out.   Best wishes.  Do keep us posted on your daughter's progress!

      Mucus discharge

      By Di Wallace · Posted

      I don't know if anyone can help. I was diagnosed with celiac last June. Since going gluten free the diarrhea has stopped, in fact things have gone the other way. What is bothering me is the occasional rectal mucus discharge. I have no other symptoms and it doesn't happen very often. As I haven't seen anyone since my diagnosis, I don't know if this is normal or not

      The product is Certified Gluten-Free, but that does not mean they would be immune to any possible manufacturing issues: https://feel-good-foods.com/product/chicken-soup-dumplings/ As @trents mentioned, some people have issues with xanthan gum, even though it is gluten-free:
