I am in the process of trying to Re-start up the Middle Georgia Gluten Intolerance Group as Branch Manager. I am in need of a secretary and treasurer to get this back up and running. This is through the non-profit Gluten Intolerance Group of North America (GIG), the only thing anyone would have to pay for is membership annually (which isn't going to be a crazy amount). 

If this post is not allowed, I won't be offended if it is taken down, but if someone could please lead me in the right direction to get in touch with some gluten intolerant/celiac folks in the area who want to help me that would be wonderful!! 

The ladies who were in charge of this group before became pretty ill and could no longer keep up with it, so I decided to step up. I will just need a little of your help middle georgia folks!

This group will be a place of understanding, support, knowledge and more. This is something the celiac/gluten intolerant community needs in my area, needs more of in general! I want anyone suffering from autoimmune disease or gluten intolerance to have a place where they feel understood and they have people who will actually listen. 

 

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this if you did. Please if you are in the area, consider helping me get this started! I cannot do it alone! :)

      Has anyone struggled with high blood pressure?

      It wasn't generic. I guess with that ingredient they use corn rice or wheat as a binder. Thats where gluten comes in. Like anything else hidden gluten!

      Does this definitely suggest Coeliac Disease?

      By Heather Hill · Posted

      As a life long sufferer of IBS I have, over the years been tested and re-tested for coeliac disease, colon cancer and all manor of digestive disorders, with the final conclusion being that I have IBS. So, for at least 15 years I have been mostly gluten free (not barley or rye free) although, I have not been avoiding gluten fastidiously.  Nevertheless, I do still suffer from lower abdominal pain, bloating and lower back ache and this is becoming more frequent, with back ache now becoming the predominant symptom, that radiates up to my neck.  Over christmas I decided to put gluten firmly back into my diet in order to run an anti-body test about 8 weeks later and thereby confirm or otherwise whether I am coeliac! The results of the test came out as positive for IgA (not out of range) negative for all other markers, but positive at 12 U/ml for Anti-deamidated Gliadin IgA.  I am hoping to have a biopsy to help confirm. However, my question is, is this likely to be a strong confirmation of coeliac disease, or could there be some other explanation such NCGS? The reason I ask, is because whilst putting the gluten back into my diet I did not suffer unduly in classical terms ie bloat/pain etc, and the back ache of which I am now suffering more of, was about the same as it is now, as I have once again removed gluten. What I do find is that legumes seem to exacerbate both stomach ache, bloating and  backache symptoms such as lentils, beans etc, whilst the gluten containing grains do not obviously seem to.  I think I am likely to be suffering from some form of gut linked inflammation that could be triggering the back ache, bloat, but is this likely to be due to coeliac disease or some other GI related problem, such as leaky gut. Does anyone know or have any experience of these types of symptoms in this context and could shed some light on this for me? Also, if I work towards mending my "leaky gut" with a gluten-free diet and add supportive supplements will this be a wise thing to do and is it likely to reduce the symptoms I now suffer.  Any thoughts and insights will be gratefully received.

      Welcome Santina,  Are you taking Generic or Name Brand Lisinopril?  My quick search shows the name brand as gluten free.  https://www.google.com/search?q=does+lisinopril+contain+gluten&sca_esv=7f0a4d0f8e025b19&sxsrf=AHTn8zqqxMMlYsCdMHyfqjYh7NJMgXRq4g%3A1741188471980&ei=d23IZ9_CO4CKwbkPooX3sAs&ved=0ahUKEwif2u_CoPOLAxUARTABHaLCHbYQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=does+lisinopril+contain+gluten&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiHmRvZXMgbGlzaW5vcHJpbCBjb250YWluIGdsdXRlbjIFEAAYgAQyBhAAGBYYHjILEAAYgAQYhgMYigUyCxAAGIAEGIYDGIoFSPKNAlCbKVj6gwJwAXgBkAEAmAHYAaAB6w-qAQYxNC42LjG4AQPIAQD4AQGYAhWgAsIRwgIKEAAYgAQYsQMYDcICDRAAGIAEGLEDGIMBGA3CAgcQABiABBgNwgIHECMYsAIYJ8ICBhAAGAcYHsICCxAAGIAEGJECGIoFmAMAiAYBkgcGMTIuOC4xoAeMfQ&sclient=gws-wiz-serp.   Each tablet contains 5, 10 or 20 mg of lisinopril, present as lisinopril dihydrate, as the active ingredient. Mannitol • maize starch • magnesium stearate • iron oxide red. This medicine is gluten-free, lactose- free, sucrose-free, tartrazine-free and free of other azo dyes.  I try to get all NAME BRAND meds, because the generics can be manufactured by multiple companies using different fillers.  I find it strange that a BP med contains Sodium,  Sodium raises my BP 20 or more points.  Keep in mind that I only researched LLISINOPRIL for gluten.  You need to become your own health advocate.  Good Luck.
