Where is the best place in the country to live if you have celiac disease? Some towns are better than others offering restaurants known to be friendly to celiacs and having health food shopping marts that offer extensive lines of gluten free products. Some towns and states are not known for their knowledge.

I would guess NYC...there are so many gluten free specialty places.

There are a couple places in AZ known for their gluten free pizza---thats enough to be good!

I would think Orlando, FL would be a pretty good place to live. They have all the normal Celiac standby's like Outback, Carraba's, P.F. Changs, plus they have Planet Hollywood (Celiac friendly) and all of the Disney stuff which is VERY Celiac friendly.

Nope. It's definitely Utah! :D We've got the U of U (which did a huge genetic study on celiac . . . which has now moved to UC Santa Barbara, I think), fabulous GIG support groups, and TONS of people who were diagnosed during the U of U study. Just before Halloween I overheard some people in the grocery store looking for "gluten free, chocolate free, peanut free" candy . . . and of course I stuck my oar in and helped them find some!

Of course, we don't have Disneyland . . . but there are gluten free cooking classes held at a Utah grocery chain all up and down the Wasatch front . . . and if that's not cool, what is?

Seattle has a number of places with gluten-free specific menus, including bakeries.

Los Anglese (and the whole surrounding area) had a fair number of options as well.

Utah's pretty good, as Betsy said.

But I have to say that every time I visit my family up in Portland, I get a bit homesick...and jealous. They've got all the stuff I have to buy at health food stores in the main grocery stores! I've seen gluten free menus in many restaurants, I've even visited a gluten-free candy shop! I feel like there's so much more awareness up in PDX...wish we had that down here in UT.

I used to live in Eugene and I think Oregon must be ground zero for organic food. :) I think there's a gluten-free pizza place out there, too.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By Baz · Posted

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
