Hi all, I am from Conklin, NY. Did anyone else get hit by the June flood. Boy it is hard being gluten-free in a FEMA trailer. Major break out of DH going on and it is miserable. Almost back in the house though

I'm from Oneonta, up the Susquehanna from you. I didn't get flooded out of my house, but the town of Oneonta and surrounding area was hammered. Much of the city was under water for the better part of a week. The sewage treatment plant was underwater and nonfunctioning until September (sorry about the raw sewage dumped into the river :ph34r: ) Many of the roads are still showing some damage from the flood.

I hope your situation turns around for you very soon.

'Willi Wonka Chocolate River' as my 13 year old liked to call it has cleared up and behaving itself for the most part. Gave us a scare a couple times though when it creeped back up the bank. Things are finally moving along with a new crew working on the house. I will even have my very own gluten free kitchen pantry cabinet. With 4 kids it is hard to keep them out of my gluten-free snacks and especially the fruity pebbles.

I'm from Albany!

And, does anyone have information on support groups around here? I know that there is one at St. Peter's Hospital but they only meet a few times a year, and I would love to go to a celiac disease group weekly/monthly. Maybe AmyMarie? Any in Saratoga?

I've been to the grapefest in Naples...never knew you could/would make a grape pie!

NY/NYC - uh huh!

Pic is from the Catskills last year. I prefer the Adirondacks (call me a mountain snob! :lol: ), but the Catskills are closer (and easier on the knees!).

I was for the Bronx and really grew up in Greenwood Lake NY (on the Jersey border about 50 min. northwest of the city), a small country town. I absolutely know what you guys mean about NY/NYC, I moved to California in '89 - WOW, I just realized how long I have been living out here - yikes :huh:

People were so absolutely rude once they heard me talk, granted I did have a very strong Bronx accent, but they assumed I was what everyone stereo types NYC as - Honestly I can't remeber what I wanted to say/word I wanted to use.

But then on the other hand I thought of California as palm trees, beaches and the ocean, boy did I have a rude awakening when I moved in with my brother in Union City California!! I hated it here for the first year!!

Hi there,

My sister lives downstate and has celiac disease, newly dx'd. I was 1st last April and she was in denial until mid-January 2007..

Anyway, my point is she may be moving up to the Albany area by this summer.

Have you called GIG or Celiac Sprue Assoc.? Their websites are where I found our support group.

Hi Everyone,

I am not in Upstate anymore but I loved reading this post. I went to school at Syracuse and LOVED it there. I worked at Song Mountain in Tully my senior year. Clearly the best job I've ever had (alright, most fun job anyway). I have family and friends in a lot of the places you mentioned :)

Just popping in to say "hey" and I love NY.

      Ground meat absolutely full of gluten?

      By glucel · Posted

      Flavorings usually identified but don't know if there are laws that govern that. I bot lamb shanks that had rosemary flavor but did not see anything else that might be a grain so I ate it. I eat tons ground beef usually organic and grass fed from aldi. Not identified as gluten-free but hopefully it is. On the other hand I would only eat hot dogs which has several ingredients if identified gluten-free.

      Absolutel liquor

      By Doug1229 · Posted

      All liquor that has been distilled are gluten-free because the liquor is captured from evaporation. Gluten is a heavy protein that will not evaporate make it safe for all celiac’s. cheers!

      Ground meats can contain flavorings and fillers. You must look for the gluten-free symbol on the packaging. I use Jennie-O brands which are marked gluten-free.

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I take Clonidine for blood pressure control.  It is the only one that did not debiltate me.  It also helps with my ADD.  Doctors always turned me down when I requested Ritalin (I am an adult) so it turned out for the best that I reacted badly to all the different BP meds they tried. Originally Clonidine was developed for ADHD adolescents that could not tolerate Ritalin.

      9 year old- questionable results

      You should also have her checked for vitamin deficiencies.   "Iodine's presence in the diet can contribute positively to hair strength and elasticity by maintaining hair follicle cycling and supporting the synthesis of hair shaft components like keratin. Keratin is strong and won't dissolve in diluted acids, alkalines, solvents, or water" "Keratosis pilaris is a benign skin condition characterized by small bumps around hair follicles. It is caused by excess keratin, a protein that forms hair, nails, and skin. Iodine is not directly related to keratosis pilaris, but certain foods can help improve it" It could be deficiency in iodine may be causing the keratosis Polaris.  Insufficient iodine intake affects healing, intellegence skin and nails. The average intake of iodine fell 50% from 1970 to now.  A Medium Urinary Iodine Concentration test will indicate intake.  TSH and T4 will not show iodine intake deficiency until damage is being done. Most newly diagnosed Celiac Disease and other autoimmune diseases are deficient in vitamin D when diagnosed.  Other than bone growth, vitamin D is essential for mental health and the immune system.
