Hey all,

Here's a link - - -

No- that's few years away. Let me see what I can finagle.

I just might go to this. Looks interesting and fun. Now, if I still have a job and don't have to have surgery around that time I'm set. :P

Oooh. A travel possibility that involves a chance to hobnob and eat with people in the know? An opportunity to connect voices and bodies with avatars? Hmmmmmm.

I've got a friend in Berkeley who's been asking me to come out....

Hey Susan:

I might be there. I have been 2 previous years. They have a really great lunch and lot's of samples of gluten-free foods.

Maybe those of us that are going can meet up somewhere?

I am going!! I'm actually brand new to all this, but I could not miss a chance to see/meet Danna Korn. I've spoken with her online a few times, and just to be around others who "get it" will be nice. Plus... I need a break from my kids. =)

Susan - Thanks for posting that. It looks very interesting. My sister is a doctor at Stanford. I could probably get her to come with me, except that she's having a baby at the end of August. Does anyone know if they have a conference every year?

Thanks Sally! I need to check my work schedule and see if I can get some time off. If not this year, next year for sure - and I'll drag my sis with me. She's suspicious that she may also be gluten intolerant.

This is really great, girls! I'm so excited about it. Yes, we must meet each other in person! Karen - maybe the baby will come early - or late - - ;) would be great if she could go. Can she get us discounts? I am so broke.... :huh: My late father went to Stanford, undergrad and graduate school, so I went to all the kooky football games....such memories. So I'm really excited that it's held there.

The more the merrier! Let's all GO! :rolleyes:

Unbelieveably, I'm in Kansas.... so it's going to be a big trip! My daughter and I are both newly dx as gluten intolerant. I'm not getting the answers and support that I would like, around here, so when I received the email about the conference, I told my dh that I felt it was my duty, as a parent, to go and educate myself by those who ARE educated on the subject. =)

I'm actually very excited, but nervous about traveling alone - and driving in California! =)

Well, here's a tip I can give you about travel. See if there is ANY way possible you can fly into the San Jose airport (about a 1/2 hour south of Palo Alto) instead of San FRancisco - - - that place, and driving out of there, is a freaking nightmare!!! And you don't want to start out your trip wtih a nervous breakdown... :blink:

I'm so excited for you, and we'll have to have an area where all of us from this forum meet up!

San Jose's the closest airport, but if you can't get a good flight there (don't see why that'd be a problem though), Oakland would probably be easier than San Francisco. I grew up in San Jose and used SFO before, so never really thought of it as a traffic nightmare, more than any other major airport, though. :-P

Yep, when I've been getting my quotes, I've been looking at San Jose rather than San Fran!! =)

I've got a decent quote, now I just have to wait for my paycheck at the end of the month!!!!

Oh yeah, Tiffany, totally forgot about Oakland.

I grew up in Fresno - and then lived the sleepy tourist burg of Monterey for many years - - driving in San Francisco has always, I believe every single time until the last few years, had me in tears..... :unsure: a total nightmare for the non-native! and jayhawk is from Kansas!!

lol... driving almost anywhere else makes me scream bloody murder at people who can't go over the speed limit, are too chicken to merge at freeway speeds, and let everyone and their brother move over before continuing on. :-) maybe just living in california is it's own "aggresive driving" course. :-P SF, itself, is definitely worse since it's SO dense. definitely avoiding SF (outside of public transportation) is probably a good idea, and doable in that area.

funny, I never think of Montery as sleepy or touristy... I suppose it is, but we'd go there for dinner once or twice a month. good seafood. :-)

Cool, all the way from Kansas! How cool! I'm pretty sure I'll be there, so getting together would be great! Besides, I have to meet the keeper of our wonderful dingos. :D I should go ahead and register now so that I will be SURE to go, lol.

LOL!!! Yep, I think you're on to something with the "aggressive driving" course. :lol: I will NOT drive in SF! :lol:

OH dear....I think I'm one of those (reformed) aggressive drivers.....17 - - that's right - - 17 speeding tickets in my driving history (not one for the last 10 years, though! :rolleyes: )....major tailgater...people hated me... :ph34r:

Yes, Donna, you must come!!! Wish I could bring the dingos....they'll be hanging at my best friend's house, in San Jose.

Oh Tiffany, try living in Monterey for 7 years....pretty sleepy and touristy - you just have to make your own fun and find lots of friends! did so much hiking there....Great places to eat, too, and I ate out many times per week....those were the days..... :)

OK, I'm from the KC Metro, so I've got the agressive driving thing down pretty well. Though, I'm sure I still don't rank up there at all with Californians! :blink:;)

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Since lectins occur in almost everything, it's pretty unrealistic to avoid them all.  I didn't understand the rationale behind Dr. Gundry's lists either. Many fruits either contain high histamine amounts or are histamine releasers.  Histamine is made by our body, but we can also consume it in foods, because plants and animals make histamine, too.  Histamine is a neurotransmitter, that results in alertness.  That cup of coffee in the morning?  Releases histamine, so we wake up more.  But histamine is released as part of the immune response in Celiac and other illnesses, causing inflammation.   Our body can clear histamine, but if the body can't keep up with the histamine we are making ourselves as well as the histamine we're eating, we can have serious problems, digestive problems, insomnia, depression.  Some fruits can have high levels of fructose, one kind of sugar in fruits.  Some intestinal bacteria can ferment fructose, resulting in gas, bloating, diarrhea.  So, yes, Fructose Malabsorption can occur in Celiac.   Your dont list...Honey, maple syrup, lectins (and their attached carbohydrates), sugar... ....bedridden...These are all carbohydrates, sugars.  We need Thiamine to turn carbohydrates into energy.  Without sufficient thiamine, we can develop Gastrointestinal BeriBeri which has the classic digestive symptoms, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain. Tannins in tea and coffee cleave thiamine in two, making it nonfunctional.   Your do list...hazelnuts, pistachios, pressure cooked potatoes, and yogurt, butter, cheese.... These are foods that contain thiamine.  Pressure cooked mashed potatoes have more thiamine than boiled potatoes.  Those nuts are high in thiamine.  Dairy products are a good source of thiamine.   I can't diagnose, I'm not a doctor.  You read these articles and let me know if anything rings a bell with you.  Yes, I see thiamine deficiency everywhere because it is unrecognized by doctors.  I recognize it because I had it. Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/ Refeeding Syndrome https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK564513/ Refeeding Syndrome (a different article...) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33232094/

      Abscesses on legs

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      The AIP diet restricts carbohydrates for the first few weeks.  Excluding carbohydrates changes your microbiome.  The bacteria that live in the intestines that feed on carbs get starved out when you don't eat carbs.  Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) occurs frequently in Celiac Disease.  SIBO can cause gas, bloating, and diarrhea, symptoms similar to Celiac symptoms.   When the digestive system is feeling better, then additional foods are added back slowly to look for reactions.  I did not consume carbs for a several months because I felt better without them.  Currently, a "Modified AIP diet" has allowed rice, but doing this won't starve out the SIBO that occurs in celiac disease. I took vitamins and minerals throughout the day and felt great improvement because those essential nutrients were finally being absorbed. Thanks for letting me share what made my celiac journey better.

      Hello there!  Just wondering how things are going for you.  Did you try the Benfotiamine?  I'm always curious how others fare after taking thiamine.  Hope you can post an update. Hope you're doing well!

      @knitty kitty maybe I’m a little out of touch with fashion having been pretty much bed ridden for so long but this seems ridiculous to me.. ‘As a result of their potential for toxicity and their “anti-nutritional effects” it is almost inevitable that lectin exclusion could well become a big food fad‘ I just can’t imagine anyone avoiding lectins if they didn’t have to. When I first looked at the gundry avoid list I couldn’t understand why so many things were on it that are not high lectin (fruit ect.) and assumed high sugar items must’ve been added because people use the diet for weight loss so I tried eating them and got sick. He’s recently added honey and maple syrup to the approved list by popular demand but I can’t eat them. For me it seems to be almost all lectins, sugar, and possibly tannins because I can’t have tea and not sure what else could be causing the nausea. I’ve had some luck with pressure cooked mashed potato but pressure cooking white rice as gundry recommends didn’t help. The aip diet doesn’t match the foods I can tolerate as well as the gundry list and it seems to be mostly the high sugar things, also some of the aip avoid foods I’m fine with, hazelnut, pistachio. Yogurt and butter is on the aip avoid and again my guts agree with gundry on this, cheese yogurt and butter fine, milk not so much. Now it’s possible to get an igg test it seems an unnecessarily painful and slow process to attempt aip or total lectin avoidance and reintroduction, I wish I’d known about these tests before, it’d have saved me a lot of bother.

      @Liquid lunch, I prefer the AutoImmune Protocol Diet, developed by a Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.   I would be interested on your point of view about the AIP diet compared to the Lectin Free diet.   Here's some research on both....
