Hi, I live in Oklahoma. I was diagnosed celiac in Aug last year. There are absolutely no gluten-free restaurants that don't have cc and you cannot find any help for celiac disease in this state so I am learning on my own. Is there any way to start something in this state to get some info out on celiac disease? Most people don't even know about it, so they go undiagnosed or don't understand it, and if they have heard about it they don't seem to be able to get info on it. Is there like some place to get info brochures or something? That way I can get knowledge of this disease out there in this state?

This list is old, but there are some resources listed in Oklahoma. Please contact them and let me know if any are no longer valid:

 You also might want to contact Celiac.org, as they are a national support group.

You could start your own group as well, and you could ask them how to do this.

I will definitely call them and let you know. I will also contact and see how I can start a group. Thank you so much. Celiac disease, those who do know of it, is really misunderstood by a lot of people here as well. I'd love to get the info out.

Thank you so much for the advice!

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      By Sarah Marie · Posted

      Is it worth it to remove gluten before they potentially do an endoscopy & biopsy? I thought I read it’s best to be eating gluten for 3 months prior to it. So hoping they have a cancellation and call us in sooner.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Aleda D · Posted

      Thank you for the warning. I get blood tests twice a year to check where I stand with the vitamins I regularly take, so I appreciate the extra reminder. I know some vitamins don’t build up but now I will watch the B6 for sure.

      High dosage of B12 gave me life.

      I think you would do well to take a high potency B-complex such that you get more balanced dosage across the spectrum of B vitamins. They work in concert.

      Around 5 years ago I visited Tokyo, and luckily had my sister in law with me who is from there, otherwise it would have been more difficult. The bottom line is that there are tons of naturally gluten-free food options there, but you need to be able to communicate your needs to restaurant staff. Here is a gluten-free restaurant card for American visitors in Tokyo. It includes a request for a gluten-free meal and mentions common gluten-containing ingredients to avoid, like soy sauce and miso. English: Thank you. Japanese:   You can also download the Google Translate app, and besides being able to help you speak with people there about this, it has a camera app that translates Japanese text to English in your camera, so you can use it when shopping in a supermarket.
