Csa Louisiana North Shore Chapter


harrisonsmom

Recommended Posts

harrisonsmom Newbie

Hello all! I'm looking for people in the North Shore area of SouthEastern Louisiana. The following parishes are welcome: St. Tammany (where meetings will mostly be held), Tangiphoa, Washington, Livingston, Pearl River County, MS and other surrounding parishes of Louisiana and MS. Most meetings will be held in St. Tammany as that is where all current members live thus far but other arrangements can be made or referrals to chapters closer to your home can be given. This is an exciting group for those with celiac disease to socialize with other celiac disease's, or for ppl who have family or friends with celiac disease. Information, support, recpies, helpful hints and ideas are the focus of our group as well as educating the community about celiac disease as to lessen the difficulty we have seen in getting properly diagnosed. If you are at all interested in joining this group please post here or email me. Or join my yahoo group solely designed for this chapter:

northshoreceliacgroup-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Or u can check my email and chapter status by going to www.csaceliacs.org, click on Local Support and clicko n the state of Louisiana. My chapter is Louisiana North Shore, Chapter 125!

Thank you, and happy GLUTEN FREE eating!!

Amy

We certainly welcome ppl from the Southshore but there is already a group in Metairie who might better serve you. There is also one in Baton Rouge according to the csa website. If you wish to join us, you are more than welcome and are certainly not required to attend every meeting. Meetings will be about once every 4-6 weeks as members see fit. Most meetings will probably be held in Slidell or Mandeville area. (PRobably Slidell at first as that is where I, the chairperson, live.) If you wish to still join this group, please reply to this post. For more info about the Jefferson group go to www.csaceliacs.org click on Local Support. Click on LA. It will list the chapters and contact info for the group in Metairie. I have no idea how active they are since Katrina. Best of luck! Amy, Chairperson Chapter 125

As much as I LOVE driving the bridge, I think I'll look up the Jefferson Chpater. Thanks for the info.

Hi,

I'm newish to the Northshore and just ran across this old post by accident. I was searching for a gluten-free restaurant or menu and a link popped up to this forum. I live in BelAir in Slidell and would love to attend meetings or even host one some day. I am in desperate need of peers!

No one (well, most of them) in my large Italian family understands, they will actually encourage me to eat garlic bread or things fried with breadcrumbs....because "Just a little can't hurt." They do not take Celiac seriously at all.

Help!

Thanks so much,

Debbie

      Welcome to the forum, @Farmerswife! You are correct. Cornstarch should not contain gluten unless there is an issue with "cross contamination" with wheat/barley/rye in the processing. Even then, I can't imagine there being enough gluten in those pills/caplets/capsules to cause a reaction. Is this med in pill form, caplet form or capsule form? If capsule, it is possible that the capsule itself is made from wheat.  Another possibility is that your are "cross reacting" to the cornstarch. Maize is a fairly common cross reactor in the celiac community. But even so, there would likely be little maize (the protein component of corn) in the starch. Still another possibility, and the most likely one I'm...

      Recently diagnosed with Celiac and trying to figure out all the things. One concern I have is I have taken Escitalopram for years. Insurance does not pay for name brand so that is not an option. Cannot get it compounded at any local pharmacy. The generic brand that I have says it is not gluten free due to it having cornstarch in it. From what I understand cornstarch is gluten free. I do feel "glutened" most of the time when I take this. Anyone else have this issue and did you find a solution? Everything I google says Escitalopram is gluten free, but I don't think this one is.
