Starting Support Group In Mchenry Il

Hello all! I am starting a support group in McHenry, IL. I am tired of trying to find information on my own - I am amazed at how little support there is out there for gluten-free people! It would be wonderful to be able to share information, share our experiences and share our frustrations.

Anyone interested please contact me at emorgan816@comcast.net (Please put Celiac Support Group in the subject so I don't delete your email!)

I'm new to this Celiac too - diagnosed in March. That is why I'm starting a support group, there is nothing out there in our area!

Did you ever get a group started. I am hoping/willing to start a group in the Geneva, St. Charles area. I have a public space to offer but am looking for people to help me get things started.

      The only issue with that approach, is that some restaurants may not want to serve you--if you say you get violently ill, or have a deadly allergy, etc.--remember, at least here in California, businesses can decline to serve you.

      @llisa, have you also been diagnosed with celiac disease? You don't actually say but we have assumed that.

      I had bariatric surgery in 2018. My doctor put me on multiple vitamins, D3, and calcium (in the form of 2 Tums daily). My endocrinologist monitors my levels of these things, as well as my diabetes and Hashimoto's.

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?
