Recommended Posts

BonLI Newbie

Hi! I'm new to your site. I'm looking for support groups in the NY metro area (preferably Long Island). I'm a recently rediagnosed celiac. I was about three when I first began living on bananas and rice. I have lots of questions. Anyone willing to help?

Thanks, BonLI

I live in Manhattan, and I don't have any answers for you as I am just learning about this now and not done with the whole testing process yet. But I'm interested to know too, so I'm going to keep an eye on this post!

I'm on LI Too and looking for a support group... Is there contact information? I believe I was in contact with someone back in July, but then never heard back from them... ;)

I'm just over the bridge from you in NJ. Just over the Arthur Kill. I know of a support group in East Brunswick, but I just stick with online groups...easier than being stuck in traffic, and made some great friends this way.

I am in Westchester. I don't know of any groups in LI. I mainly stick to online but have found the Westchester Celiac Group holds a lot of events and may start to get involved with them. There is a meeting at Whole Foods tonight that I want to attend.

HI,

JUST THOUGHT I WOULD OFFER A SUGGESTION. IF YOU GO TO MEETUPS, ON CELIAC. YOU WILL SEE A GROUP. I DO NOT KNOW THE ACTUAL WEBSITE. BUT I CAN FOWARD YOU AN EMAIL FROM THEM IF YOU WOULD LIKE. I HAVE NOT YET BEEN, B UT THEIR MEETINGS ARE MONTHLY AT DIFF RESTAURANTS. AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT MUST BE FUN.

ANYWAYS LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED MORE INFO. IN ANY CASE I WOULD LOVE TO BE IN TOUCH WITH MORE CELIACS AS WELL. I FEEL LIKE A LONER, NOONE IN MY FAMILY BUT MYSELF, AND IT IS SO REPETITIVE TELLING PEOPLE WHAT CELIAC IS, AS I AM SURE YOU CAN RELATE.

BE WELL, LAURIE

      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.  
    • Scott Adams
      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 🥹
