Generation gluten-free of Dallas


Ennis-TX

Ennis-TX Grand Master

A recent chapter of Generation gluten-free started up in Dallas, Here is a info thing from their site and a link to their FB group.

Generation gluten-free, a program of the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG), is designed to build confidence in kids, teens, and young adults, and help develop them into the future leaders of our gluten-free community. Our goal is to provide safe environments where kids don’t have to worry about what they are going to eat and can just enjoy the fun that comes with being a kid. We want to provide families with a resource through which they can have their questions answered and where they can feel more involved with others in their community. Most importantly, we want to create a program that all age groups will embrace and feel happy to say that they are members of Generation gluten-free.

Generation gluten-free Groups around the nation have curriculums designed especially for kids, teens, and young adults, addressing the needs and challenges that they face in their every day lives. These groups are using fundraisers, special events, and family nights to raise awareness and promote the gluten-free lifestyle to their communities. We will be building on this support foundation and expanding our outreach even more through the creation of leadership opportunities, adult mentorships, and gluten-free education to our schools.

In addition, Generation gluten-free will be working with summer camps across the nation to provide gluten-free kids the chance to have a week of adventure without thinking about the safety of their food. Be sure to visit our Camp page to find out more about these opportunities and to learn more about the possibility of obtaining a camp scholarship from GIG.

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.

      Have you considered the possibility that you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease? They share many of the same symptoms, the difference being that NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. In view of your genetic profile, I would give it consideration.

      Hi, 25f who recently had a endoscopy procedure to diagnose celiac disease. Mum and uncle are both diagnosed celiacs. I've had symptoms over the past year - headaches that have become debilitating and frequent, feeling faint and nauseous with high heart rate, diarrhea and constipation, anemia, and recently my periods have become almost non existent. My doctor sent me a letter yesterday saying this " biopsies from the duodenum show some very mild features that could be in keeping with celiac disease but also could be due to other causes". I am waiting on an appointment to see him in the clinic to discuss this but in the meantime I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this? I was eating plenty of gluten before my camera test and for the past 2 weeks have completely cut it out of my diet and I'm seeing changes in my bowel movements for the first time in my life! Headaches, dizziness etc are still there but maybe it takes longer for them to go away? Any help would be so appreciated -  I feel so lost in this whole process!!
