Anyone In The Albany/corvallis/philomath Oregon Area?


Granny Garbonzo

Recommended Posts

Granny Garbonzo Apprentice

I live in Albany Oregon, work at my own little me-only housekeeping biz with most my jobs in Corvallis area, and my daughter with my two grand girls 2 and 5yrs (all celiac disease) live in Philomath. I've been celiac disease for nearly 20 years, my daughter too, and my grand girls have never known anything else. My daughter and the girls have had good doctors who suggested that they not give any gluten to the girls for their first year at least, then try it. They both got sick on the gluten.

It was difficult to convince the other grandma who babysits them frequently. She still doesn't pay enough attention to ingredients and gives the girls hot dogs and now and then candy with gluten or whatever. For a long time she kept giving them stuff she shouldn't and because there was no immediate reaction, she thought it was all in our heads. But now that it has been years of struggle, she can see the long-term effect on the kids and she is much more carefull.

My mother was diagnosed 20yrs ago and that was what triggered the rest of us to check it out. My mother is 76 now and has a real hard time keeping away from gluten. She lives in La Grande Oregon and there are very few resources there. She will not use a computer, and is very isolated from the celiac disease world.

I hope to find some friends with celiac disease that I can go out to eat with now and then...or have a pic-nic or just share stuff.

      @PlanetJanet, Sorry to hear about your back pain.  I have three crushed vertebrae myself.  I found that a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamin and Pyridoxine (all water soluble B vitamins) work effectively for my back pain.  This combination really works without the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter pain meds.  I hope you will give them a try. Here are articles on these vitamins and pain relief...

      Here is the info from their website. If you don't trust them, you may find products that are labelled "gluten-free," but I don't see any reason to believe there is any gluten in them.

      Hi, trents, Thanks for responding! One book I read is called, Doing Harm, by Maya Dusenbery.  She has wonderful perspective and insight, and it's all research-based.  It's about how women can't get treated.  Everyone should read this!  I wouldn't mind reading it again, even.  She believes that women are so busy taking care of families, working, etc., that we are more likely to ignore our pain and symptoms for longer.  Men have women bugging them to go to the doctor.  Women don't have anyone telling us that.  We don't have time to go.  Providers think we are over-emotional, histrionic, depressed, have low tolerance to pain...Men get prescribed opioids for the same symptoms women are...

      They say maltodextrin is gluten-free, even if it's made from wheat, because the gluten is processed away.  It makes no difference to my body.  I still get uncontrollable flatulence and leakage.  Happens every time, even if I refuse to believe it will happen.  Once I was taking Gas-X chewables to hang around with people I was visiting and staying with, to make sure I would feel safer and more comfortable.  WRONG.  I forgot to read the label. I didn't realize it till after I left and went home--MALTODEXTRIN.  I was miserable the whole time. The second gastroenterologist I saw made the tentative diagnosis of microscopic colitis.  Usually occurs in women over 60, I was 59, had been in a crash, (2020)...

      Titanium dioxide is that chemical in vitamins, toothpaste, and processed white foods that is the whitener for the pill coloring.  It is inflammatory for me.  I have an intestinal reaction to it, every time. https://www.webmd.com/diet/titanium-dioxide-in-food https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11295244/#:~:text=EFSA concluded that titanium dioxide,uncertainties in recent toxicological studies.
