Small world, Crown Point here too. Let me know if you find any stores close by that have good gluten-free food!

Oh yes, the "Herb Thyme" health food store has plenty of baking products (like flour, chocolate, etc...) and "Wiseway Grocery Store" has a wonderful health food store inside with lots of pre-made items such as chocolate chipe cookies which are sooooo wonderful and they are EVERYTHING free!! They have everything from soups to pizza crusts!! Where do you normally shop?

We usually shop at Meijer or Stracks. Wiseway on Main is not far at all, I'll have to check that out.

I just found out about my gluten problem last week so I haven't had a chance to find to many products yet.

Thanks for the tip, looks like a Wiseway run tomorrow!

That's funny because i just found out about my gluten problem about 3 weeks ago. Yes, Wiseway has an actual health food "store" inside of the main store...not just a health food "department" inside the store. Good Luck and let me know if you have any questions :)

Thanks, I really need to get there. I have been doing ok for the last week but I cheated really bad today. We went to the zoo and I did fine. We brought a lunch I had a ham and cheese on a corn tortilla with some gluten free cheese curls. On the way home we were all hungry and brought home Culvers. I had a big cheeseburger on a regular bun and fries. I feel really guilty! I'll have to get to Wiseway and try to start over I guess. I hope I don't pay to big of a price for that cheeseburger tomorrow! Right now I feel OK. This is really hard I don't know if I can do it!

It's really hard, but the outcome is sooo worth it. Plus, if you don't mind cooking you can still have pretty much everything you want. Cheseburgers just buy gluten-free buns, pizza just buy gluten-free pizza crust and sauce, tacos use corn tortillas and make your own taco meat seasoning, fry or bake your own french fries, all the gluten-free pasta in the world with homemade meat sauce or meatballs. Steaks, pork chops, chicken (all perdue is gluten-free), etc... If you hate cooking maybe you have a loving family member who can help you out. I will say i completely understand when it comes to going out to eat. My hubby, myself, and the kids went to Outback Steakhouse last week specifically because they have an entire gluten free menu...and it ended up being unavailable at that time!! So, needless to say, i had a plain salad (no croutons) with olive oil, lemons, and salt. Oh well, at least i got out and had a glass of wine :)

morganb,

I am from Indiana, but down south. I am in Evansville. I just started experimenting with diet. It is so much better than relying on tests that are not very accurate. I do not have insurance, so affordability is an issue. I am 23, and have had misery for over ten years! It is difficult having to watch others eat what you cannot, but considering how ill you become, it is really not that worth it! It is better to eat what you tolerate.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

I haven't had lunch with your mom yet but the place was my suggestion. We have a tenative date set for the next time she is back in B-town!

NoGluGirl - I did the diet first, refused testing but agreed to a biopsy, which was negative. I actually told my doc that I refused to do a gluten challenge for testing and was happy that I felt better. She was fine with that and now that I have been gluten-free (and all the other stuff is fixed) for a while, really don't miss a positive DX for celiac disease.

Indiana born. Lafayette actually. Had severe seasonal allergies and have been in Seattle since 86. Havent been back there since the late 70's. Headed back to Illinois in Nov to attend a B.B. King concert with my older sister.

Seeking out those with Celiac at our church here in Seattle. Having ideas of a WF/gluten-free community dinner in the future there.

I like the chocolate quote by the way.....mostly because I like chocolate!

Be enocouraged!

Hey--I went to dpu ! Graduated in '01. Do you have a car? You're only an hour from Indy and you could come in to stock up on some things. Where are you living on campus?

PS: I'm in Indy :)

I know another new Celiac in Anderson... She comes down to Indy periodically to do shopping... Says there's not much in town there :( Do you have ingredient lists? These great lists are really helpful in shopping, to see what is safe and what isn't. https://www.celiac.com/st_main.html?p_catid=12 Any specific things you are struggling with?

PS: If any of you would be making a trip to Indy--I think I am going to have a local gluten-free pitch-in this fall. If you'd be interested, send me your e-mail...

      Welcome to the forum, @JuggaloDad, Kudos to you for being such a concerned parent! Gluten can attach to opioid receptors throughout the human body, including the brain. Gluten in the brain can be attacked by tTg 6 antibodies. This inflammation can cause ataxia. TTg 6 antibodies are also found in diseases involving ataxia such as Alzheimer's and...

      Welcome to the forum, @JuggaloDad, Kudos to you for being such a concerned parent! Gluten can attach to opioid receptors throughout the human body, including the brain.  Gluten in the brain can be attacked by tTg 6 antibodies.  This inflammation can cause ataxia.  TTg 6 antibodies are also found in diseases involving ataxia such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.  Serum Antibody tests for Celiac Disease check  for tTg 2 antibodies.  TTg 3 antibodies are found in Dermatitis Herpetiformis.   THC can dislodge gluten from the opioid receptors in the brain and body, taking gluten's place on the opioid receptor.  THC is then easier to remove from the opioid receptors than gluten.  THC is being used medically in opioid addiction cessation.  THC has other benefits such as calming mast cells so they don't release histamine.  Histamine lease from mast cells causes inflammation and is part of the autoimmune reaction in Celiac.   Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is instrumental in brain and nerve health.  Opioid and THC use can deplete thiamine stores.  Malabsorption due to Celiac Disease can prevent those stores being replenished.   Early Thiamine deficiency disorder symptoms includes eating disorders such anorexia and bulimia.  Ataxia is improved with Thiamine.  Anxiety and depression are also improved with Thiamine.  Thiamine helps stop mast cells from degranulating and releasing histamine.  Gastroparesis and Gastrointestinal BeriBeri are improved with Thiamine.  Thiamine with Pyridoxine and Cobalamine have analgesic properties.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine promotes gastrointestinal health.  The form of Thiamine called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps immensely with the ataxia and neurological symptoms. Doctors undervalue the benefits of supplementation with essential nutrients in Celiac Disease.  Correction of nutritional deficiencies quickly in Celiac is important to health and recovery.  Most blood tests for vitamin deficiencies are not accurate.  None the less, discuss supplementing with doctors and nutritionists.   Do look into a low histamine Paleo Diet like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet developed by a Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballentyne, shown to promote intestinal healing.  This is the diet that really improved my health along with supplementing the essential vitamins and minerals.   After struggling with Gastrointestinal BeriBeri, Ataxia and eating disorders myself, TTFD has made a world of difference.  My blog has more information.  I'm happy to share what I've learned on my journey.

      I’m so sorry to hear about the challenges you and your daughter are facing. A celiac diagnosis, especially during adolescence, can be overwhelming, and it’s understandable that she’s struggling with the lifestyle changes it requires. Coupled with the complexities of self-medication and signs of an eating disorder, this is undoubtedly a difficult time for your family. It’s great that you’re already engaged in therapies—this is a crucial step. For celiac disease, connecting with support groups (like those from the Celiac Disease Foundation) and working with a dietitian specializing in gluten-free diets can help ease the transition. For the emotional and mental health aspects, family therapy or support groups for parents of teens with similar struggles might provide additional tools and comfort. You’re doing the right thing by seeking help and information—stay patient and compassionate with both your daughter and yourself as you navigate this journey together.
