Everyone,

If you were at the last meeting, you already know about the Balloon Festival. If not, let me recap.

The Suffolk County Celiac group will have their own booth at the Festival. It's being held at Calabro Airport on LI, on August 10, 11th and 12th. We will be distributing material on Celiac Disease and also have some gluten-free foods for samples.

In addition, we have an opportunity to make some money at this event by volunteering at one of the concession stands. Here's a brief explanation on how it works:

To participate in the Balloon Festival, all we need are bodies to prepare and serve. They will provide tents, equipment, food supplies and management. They will resupply the booth during the day. Products are simple stadium style that require minimum preparation so no experience is necessary.

Locations require 10 or 12 people per day DURING PEAK TIMES. Our organization will receive 10% of the GROSS SALES from each location we staff which should average $2,000. Parking, admission and meals are free plus you will be able to enjoy the whole event.

The hours of operation are:

Friday, August 10 - 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm

Saturday, August 11 - 10:00 am to 11:00 pm

Sunday, August 12 - 10:00 am to 8:00 pm

The Peak Times are: (this is when we need 10 to 12 people at the concession stand)

Friday, August 10 - 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm

Saturday, August 11 - 4:00 pm to 11:00 pm

Sunday, August 12 - 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm

This will be a great opportunity for us to make some money and have some fun.

Please let me know if you can and will participate and the days/times that you are available.

Any questions, call me at 631-957-2885 or Les Doti at 631-724-6651.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By trents · Posted

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
