Hi I am already pre registered for the fair. My question is this: I don't remember where any of the buildings are- I went there. Broadhollow Rd. is the Rte 110 or Melville Rd? Somebody help please-- Don't need to get lost trying to find Roosevelt Hall...

Thanx

Lynn

Morning Lynn--Rt 110 is Broad Hollow Rd--I hope that helps. Personally, I have never been to the college--the number is 2350 Broad Hollow--if you go to Mapquest and type in your address, then the college address, it will give you directions. I'm sure if you have been there before, then you will remember once you see the directions. Kev will tell me how to get there, so until now, I had not thought about it.

By the way, where do you live, I'm in East Islip. I'm looking forward to the fair again this year.

See you there!

Dear Deb,

Morning Lynn,

My kids are grown. Jeremy will be 33 in May, Mike 30, Nick 28, Joe 25, and Holly is 24. I have grandkids closer to your child's age. Three 9 yr olds, 7, 5, 3, and 5 months. My kids and grandkids all live in Michigan. I know that most of my kids, if not all would be much better off on a gluten free diet. My granddaughter Brooklyn has had 3 seizures and the doctors have not figured out what caused them yet, my grandson Colin has enamel problems with his teeth, the youngest Ethin, has been sick since he was born. The poor little guy has GERD, sleep apnea, doesn't utilize protein properly, is dairy free and soy free and he is only 5 months old. When I ask my kids to check into gluten as a possible cause, they just shake their heads. Two of my sons did ask their doctor to be tested for celiac disease and the doctor told one he doesn't look celiac (I guess he doesn't have 2 heads like the rest of us celiacs) and the other was told it isn't necessary for him to be tested at this time!

Hope to see you ar the fair--I will be one of the workers wearing the green t-shirts and the one with the longest hair! ;)

Hey Deb,

Sounds Like your KIds/grandkids have their hands full!! I hope your sons decide to go for 2nd opinions, or get new peds. Maybe they should tell the doctors that it runs in your family== maybe that will get their attention!! My daughter was not well as a baby either. Ok, we will be there- look for the shortest lady 4-9 and my daughter is shorter.. see you soon. Lynn :rolleyes:

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.
    • Steve-n-Portland
      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)
