Hello,

Just wondering if anyone knows of any real-time chatrooms out there. Would be fun if there are any.

Thanks a million.

Yes. The celiac board at delphiforums.com has scheduled chats I think Monday & Wednesday nights. How many people show varies, but that's the only live chat I know of.

AOL used to have one on sunday nights. I don't use it anymore and you need to have an AOL account but i dont anymore.

I run a yahoo site for celiac and have the capabilities of having real time chats. We have done a couple before. It is just very hard to schedule them because of time zones and such. If anybody is interested I would be more than happy to allow the use of the one there.

Just let me know.

ha Upon posting that the other day I was looking at my group features . They have taken out the chat feature! <_< So sorry to get hopes up. You are still more than welcome to check the group out reguardless. We have a message board and post questions and support just like this one only on a much smaller scale :) I have 485 Members currently.

I know this is a bit off topic but there's a new online celiac support group that some of the members here are joining.. dailystrength dot org. they're planning to offer chat but they're new and haven't made that yet.

check it out! :)

Somebody could start a room in Open Original Shared Link if they wanted to. Keeping it open on a regular schedule makes it easier for visitors to frequent the room.

      Welcome to the forum, @Farmerswife! You are correct. Cornstarch should not contain gluten unless there is an issue with "cross contamination" with wheat/barley/rye in the processing. Even then, I can't imagine there being enough gluten in those pills/caplets/capsules to cause a reaction. Is this med in pill form, caplet form or capsule form? If capsule, it is possible that the capsule itself is made from wheat.  Another possibility is that your are "cross reacting" to the cornstarch. Maize is a fairly common cross reactor in the celiac community. But even so, there would likely be little maize (the protein component of corn) in the starch. Still another possibility, and the most likely one I'm thinking, is that you are experiencing a side effect of the med itself. It is an SSRI. Have you tried other SSRIs. SSRI's listed side effects include nausea and diarrhea. However, Escitalopram has the reputation of having less of a tendency than other SSRIs to produce these side effects. But you never know. Every individual is different. Have you tried other SSRIs?

      Recently diagnosed with Celiac and trying to figure out all the things. One concern I have is I have taken Escitalopram for years. Insurance does not pay for name brand so that is not an option. Cannot get it compounded at any local pharmacy. The generic brand that I have says it is not gluten free due to it having cornstarch in it. From what I understand cornstarch is gluten free. I do feel "glutened" most of the time when I take this. Anyone else have this issue and did you find a solution? Everything I google says Escitalopram is gluten free, but I don't think this one is.
