I am in Oak Lawn (South Suburbs) and I am willing to start one! I see that someone else posted from Oak Lawn last spring, but sadly has not returned to the forum since May. We are gluten and corn free in our house for my son who developed a tic disorder last year. He is now doing fabulous after testing revealed his allergies. I have been gluten-free myself and feel much better too. I would love to start a group. Please email me: ctalty15 at gmail.com. I could start a yahoo group page very easily and we could pick a night to have monthly meetings to share recipes, shopping tips, time savers, etc... whatever! to make this easier to manage in the long run. We could brainstorm and research restaurants and stores in the area and make our info public to help others in our area. I noticed that the Jewel store in my neighborhood and the Dominicks near my mother's house carries gluten-free products. Let's do this! If we can band together we can make our own lives so much easier! I have seen the elaborate websites for other area support groups. That would be fabulous here!

I also have a blog with my recipes posted: Open Original Shared Link

Get in touch with me, and anyone who comes across this post in the near or distant future.

Go to the Wild Oats Market in Hinsdale. They're VERY celiac friendly and I know that a woman who runs a support group in the western suburbs teaches there often.

Willing to start a group in the Geneva, St. Charles area. Don't know if that helps you at all. I have a public space to offer but am looking for people to help me get things started.

I'm looking for a group near LaGrange also. I heard there is one in Brookfield that meets at the library every 4th Thursday of each month. I emailed them about it maybe a month ago and haven't heard anything back. I think I'll check it out this month. I've never been to a support group... =)

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By Baz · Posted

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
