Support Groups In Lincoln, Ne?

Wondering if there are any support groups in Lincoln, NE. Been gluten-free for two months now and I am amazed at what the stores that do support us Celiacs (Hy-Vee!) carry in their product lines, but also dismayed at what most stores do not carry.

Also, being a Catholic, receiving the Eucharist has become a very depressing issue. Wondering if there are others who are coping with this issue and how they deal with it in this area of the U.S.

I searched the Celiac Disease Foundation for Nebraska contacts and I am sorry that there is none.

This site is one of the best forums for information regarding Celiac.

Thanks for the information, Momma Goose. I guess 'outing' yourself as a Celiac in the wheat-producing 'heartland' must not be a very popular thing, huh? B)

Actually, I did a google search of celiac support groups in the Lincoln area and found several listed. Wish I had thought of this sooner. Thanks for your help.

I would contact one of your local Hy-Vee dieticians and see if they something. The Omaha ones are super when it comes to celiac and we get e-mails from them every other week or so. They also just started a pediatric celiac group that Evan and I go to when it meets (once a month) at the different Hy-Vees.

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

      By Raquel2021 · Posted

      Yes stress can .make the pain worse. That being said it is taking years for my body to heal. I am not able to eat out as 98 % of restaurants do not know how to cook for celiacs.  I only eat out on special occasions. Any time I eat gluten I feel there is a tourch going through my digestive system specifically in the area you have mentioned.  Like where the deudenal is . I am very sensitive to cross contamination so any small amount of gluten makes me sick.

      Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?

      By trents · Posted

      @Ems10, celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps. The first one is serum antibody testing which you may have already have had done and are waiting on the results. The second step involves and endoscopy (aka, gastroscopy) with biopsy of the small bowel lining. This second step is typically ordered if one or more antibody tests were positive, is a confirmation of the serum antibody testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease. Now hear this, you should not be eating gluten free weeks or months in advance of either kind of testing. Prematurely going on a gluten free diet can and will sabotage the results of the endoscopy/biopsy should you get a referral to a GI doc who would want to do that. Eliminating gluten from the diet causes causes inflammation to subside which allows the small bowel ling to heal such that the damage they would be looking for is no longer there.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      It might make sense for you to find out if they've run a celiac disease test on you, and if not, consider planning for it.

      Thanks for your reply! I’m really not too sure, the doctor just took a few tubes of blood & that’s all I know 🥹
