Walk For Celiac

This might be a bit extreme, but I just gave money towards a walk for HIV and it made me think, "why can't there be a walk for Celiac?" Does anyone know how one would even go about organizing something like this? I think it would be a great way to raise awareness and maybe get some donations for research. Even if there were only a handful of us from different states maybe we could make a difference. What does everyone think? We could pick a day and make it Celiac awareness day and do a walk for Celiac? I live in the Philadelphia area and would be more than willing to try to set something up here. Am I crazy or do you think something like this is possible? I would love to hear what your opinions are and if anyone has any other suggestions/ideas/concerns. :P

YIPPEE---I will be on the bandwagon next year. I think we will be hearing more about this in the future as people make the connection between eating gluten free and how it will help with joint pain, ADD/ADHD, autism and other ailments. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Barbara

Yeah, I didn't make it to the one in San Diego this year, but they've been holding it annually for a little while.

Indiana Chapters of CSA had their first walk this July. Their website is www.glutenfreeindy.com Contact Diane or Joyce through that site, I am sure they would love to share from their planning experience. I hope to organize a 5K run next year in my area - a fund and awareness raiser. I think it is a super idea!

      Testing for celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And...

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.
