Hi Mari-lyn,

I live in Wheatland Iowa. It's less than an hour from Anamosa. I am thinking that our family may start coming to your suport group. We believe that one of our daughters and myself have celiac but are waiting on confirmation. If you go to this group then you probably know my grandmother.....her name is Margrett. It turns out that my husband now has Thursdays off so maybe this will work out and it would give my grandparents and other family more of a chance to see there grandbabies. What all do you guys do during these meetings and how long do they last? Would we be required to bring something....at this point our kitchen is not gluten free and I would hate to make somebody sick....but with my grandmas help we plan to be gluten free soon.

Margaret and LaVern? Yes, we also go to church with them.

October we are meeting for a potluck on Thurs. Oct 19th at 6:30. Whole foods like fruits and vegetables are a great addition. One fellow is assigned lplain potato chips. The hospital provides a meat and we usually have lots of food.

Otherwise our meetings are the second Thursday of each month. Sometimes we take Dec. off. Starting at 1:00 they last about an hour - an hour and a half. No, we do not bring anything, though Margaret usuallly brings something to share and sometimes I make a sample of something that I might have found. But it is not a lunch.

That would be great! I haven't looked here in a few days...sorry for the delay.

Hope to meet you soon.

Marilyn

PS. If we have new members we share stories and introduce ourselves. Get caught up on any challanges from the previous month. Update with any new research....

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
