Hello,

I have recently been diagnosed with celiac disease and have been on a gluten-free diet for 6 days now! I have been in contact with some dieticians in our local area and in Louisville for help with questions I have.

I am also interested in knowing if there is a support group in Lexington, KY and if not, would anyone be interested in working together to start one at some point. My GI doctor did not know of any support group in Lexington and did know of one in Louisville, KY.

Learning day by day......!

I live in Georgetown and have recently contacted the dietician at Good Foods Market. She will help in our quest to get a support group started. I will take some information blanks there tomorrow requesting name, phone, email, etc. and I will form a data base with the others I already know in the Lexington and Georgetown area. I will try to get the names together so we might be able to meet together in March sometime, as I will be unable to meet most of Feb. Let me know your email and you can email me at falwell@cablelynx.com Hope to hear from you. Jan

      Hey Talia4, I still try to stay on the lower end of carb intake but things are way easier for me these days. It really looks like a digestive issue at the core in my case   As supplements with meals I'm now taking 3-4x 650mg betaine hcl without pepsin (to handle larger doses) 1-2x Doctor's Best digestive enzymes   And daily Share Pommelozzini. This has helped my digestion immensely with carbs and fats. I'm way more tolerant of larger meals and things are a lot easier. Happy to hear any progress or findings on your end as well though!

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.
