Gluten Free Support Group at Open Original Shared Link in Federal Way. Our next meeting is 3/17/08 at 7:00 pm.

We will be having the dietician from Open Original Shared Linkcome to speak to us. This is a golden opportunity to talk to a dietician that actually knows something about the gluten-free diet. The Organic Bistro dietician will keep her presentation to about 30 minutes which should leave lots of time for questions and discussion.

Anybody in South King or North Pierce county - mark your calendar and hope to see you there!

Hi, freeswimom. There are quite a few good options in Federal Way. As far as Restaurants go, we have an Outback, McGrath's Fish House and Red Robin. I have not eaten at the Red Robin in town, so I don't know if they have a dedicated fryer for their fries. You might want to verify that part. There are also several fast food places that have gluten-free options, if you choose to go that route (Chipotle, Taco Del mar, Wendy's, McDonalds, etc)

gluten-free options in the grocery stores are pretty good here as well. We do have a Trader Joe's, and they have all kinds of gluten-free goodies. There is a pretty extensive (and very expensive) gluten-free section at Marlene's Market, a great health food store in town. The Fred Meyer store has a good natural foods section that includes many gluten-free options. It's pretty close to the Aquatics center, where I assume the meet will take place (it's on the same road, actually.) There's also a small gluten-free section at the Top Foods.

Let me know if you want more specifics. I'll be happy to help you find safe food for your daughter. I hope she does well in the meet!

      Anyone try this? No matter what the brand, probiotics have ALWAYS made me break out bad. I am hesitant to try this simply for that fact, but I ordered a 3 month supply. Any input would be appreciated. Wish me luck.

      Gluten free vitamins

      @llisa, I am curious to know how much vitamin D you are taking and what is your plasma level in nmol/L or ng/ml what the doctor's target 25(OH)D is. Hopefully with the gluten free diet you'll be able to feel better.

      Yes, but if you had been avoiding bread because of the stricture, that might explain the negative result of the previous celiac antibody test.

      Gluten free vitamins

      Hashimoto diagnosed over 20 years ago after my daughter was diagnosed and told me to get checked due to similar symptoms. Diabetes diagnosed same time. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency this past summer. Celiac last Wednesday. Have been having the digestive issues for a couple of years, several doctors--thought we had it solved with the Creon. Then symptoms...

      Diabetes and Hashimoto's as well, huh? You are the epitome of the autoimmune cascade effect. That is, once you get one autoimmune condition you tend to develop others. But I am curious. In the sequence of these several autoimmune diagnoses, where did the celiac diagnosis come? You certainly have a lot of health issues to juggle.

      Hashimoto diagnosed over 20 years ago after my daughter was diagnosed and told me to get checked due to similar symptoms. Diabetes diagnosed same time. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency this past summer. Celiac last Wednesday. Have been having the digestive issues for a couple of years, several doctors--thought we had it solved with the Creon. Then symptoms got worse. I have a theory about that. I have a stricture in my esophagus that has to be dilated every 6-8 months. When it is tight, I have trouble swallowing. Bread is one of the harder things to swallow, so I avoid it. Had the stricture stretched end of October and started eating bread again. That's about when the diarrhea, bloating, gas, and pain started getting worse. Went in for another upper endoscopy and dilation of stricture last week. (It had been so tight this time, he scheduled a second dilation one month after the first.)  I told him how miserable I'd been, and he did the small intestine biopsy. I know they did the blood test for celiac about a year or more ago trying to find source of my problems,  and it was negative.
