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 Please contact them and let me know if any are no longer valid: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!

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.

      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)

      Correction: My previous post refers to hickory products when I actually meant bakery products.
