Hi Chris...I am from Brewer Maine and am 38. I was diagnosed last week with Celiacs disease.

I do not know anyone from Maine with this disease. I am still in shock...as I love to eat!

If you have any tips for me that would be great:)

Mary

Hi Chris. Although I do not meet your request of meeting celiacs in Maine, I'm hoping you can offer me some advice. I live in Ohio, am planning to be married in Camden Maine in July. I was hoping to find a gluten free bakery in the Camden area. I did an internet search, but haven't had any luck. I would appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thanks so much!!

Chris- I live in Portsmouth, NH- where in Southern maine are you?

Kimbo- I don't know of a gluten-free bakery in Camden, but my gosh what a wonderful place to get married! It will be so gorgeous. The woman who did my wedding cake is from Wells, ME. She did a wonderful job and I would bet that she could do gluten-free. Her name is Traci Anello and her email is tanello@maine.rr.com

Even if she can't do gluten-free, I'll bet that she would know someone who could. Tell her Beverly Brennan recommended you and that she did my October 2004 wedding at Saunders. :D

Chris, thanks for the info. That's a great start. I've never been to Maine, and soooo looking forward to it. We are getting married on a sailboat....very cool!! Thanks again for the reply.

:D

oh my gosh- Kimbo you are so lucky! I love Camden and Penobscot Bay.

glad i could be of help. Traci (I just found this out) makes George Bush Sr's birthday cake every year (they have aa house in Kennebunkport). Ironically, Secret service won't allow him to eat it so they auction it off for charity. :blink: She's catered for movie sets before too. Knew her caake was good, but no idea she was so illustrious. She's super nice too!

      FASANO DIET - not Dasani. For some reason, it is not allowing me to edit my post.

      Yes, she should be eating lots of gluten daily...4 slices of wheat bread would be ideal for the screenings.

      Antibodies went up

      By Barcino · Posted

      Hello,  I cant get my daughter's TTG IGA antibodies to drop into the normal range. A bit of the backstory : both my kids were diagnosed in July of 2023. Both were >250 at diagnosis.  My son went from >250 July 2023  to 33 Nov 2023  to 15.7 July 2024. With <15 being negative. He is almost there.  My daughter went >250 July 2023 to 66.3 Dec 2023 to 31.7 July 2024 to now back up to 35.6.  We are a fully gluten free house and we do not eat out AT ALL in any restaurants other than one dedicated gluten-free bakery. We don't eat any oats. She takes anti epileptic drugs / vitamins so we are double checking all medications and supplements. One medication says they should be gluten free but cant guarantee excipients aren't contaminated so we will be changing that one to a different manufacturer.   Feeling a little worried that her levels are worse and we cant get her into the normal range. We are thinking about cutting dairy or doing the Dasani diet. She doesnt eat a crazy amount of processed food and what she has in gluten free certified and not made in shared lines but maybe we should cut it all out until her levels drop? Any other advice? We will check all personal products also, but we believe everything is gluten free. My son is away at school so trying to figure out what she does and eats that he doesnt. Chickpeas (canned), dairy (he doesnt eat much dairy due to acne) and of course her medications.   Thank you for any input you may have.

      She finally has her appointment today. They said in their opinion it’s likely celiac. But repeated the bloodwork today. Her frost bloodwork was weak positive 5.3 (4-10 is a weak positive) Dr wanted her own labs. And they will be calling us to schedule the endoscopy.  They told her to keep Eating gluten. She has been eating is again for the last couple weeks.

      Agreed. Dairy is just as bad as gluten for me.
