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!

      I am on Otzela for my psoriasis an psoriasis arthritis.  They tried pretizon and I got sick on it. ( the doctor at urgent care). Need to see my doctor but he seems puzzled by me. My celiac disease is unresponsive and my numbers are off the chart.  ( 2nd testing went higher but Mayo said they might never go down because I have it so bad) Came back home considering going back to Mayo.

      Welcome to the forum, @Dawn Meyers! Are you currently on immunosuppressant medications for your various autoimmune disorders?

      Hi I have celiac disease and the dermatitis herpetiformis rash Also other autommune diseases.  I have had bad side effects to all the vaccines I have had and now my Doctor wants me to have the pneumonia vaccine.  I am concerned because of some of the bad side effects I have had in the past example Hep B after shot couldn't  move arm for several months.  Flu shot and COVID was sick right after shot. Told not to get anymore. My lung is inflamed and have a cough I can't seem to get rid of. Very concerned 😟.

      @Manaan2,  I'm so happy to hear you're going to try thiamine and magnesium!  Do let us know the results!   You may want to add a B 50 Complex with two meals of the day to help boost absorption.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins which are all water soluble.   When supplementing magnesium, make sure to get sufficient calcium.  Calcium and magnesium need to be kept in balance.  If you choose a calcium supplement, take two hours apart from magnesium as they compete for absorption.  Take Calcium with Vitamin D.  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.   For pain, I use a combination of thiamine, B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6.  These three vitamins together have analgesic effects.  My preferred brand is "GSG 12X Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets".  Alinamin is another form of thiamine.  It really is excellent at relieving my back pain from crushed vertebrae without side effects and no grogginess.   Look into the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Duet (Dr. Sarah Ballentyne, a Celiac herself, developed it.)  It really helps heal the intestines, too.  It's like a vacation for the digestive system.  Add foods back gradually over several weeks after feeling better.   I'm so happy to have pointed the way on your journey!  Let us know how the journey progresses! P. S. Add a Potassium supplement, too.  Potassium is another electrolyte, like magnessium, that we need.

      @knitty kitty I can't thank you enough!  My husband and I already started looking into those supplements.  We definitely plan to give it a try.  We've been against the Miralax since it was originally advised by PCP, but because of the level of pain she experienced on a daily basis, we decided to try it.  We've made many attempts to gradually decrease but due to her pain and related symptoms, we've kept her on it while trying all sorts of other dietary adjustments pre and post diagnosis specific to food; so far none of those efforts have made a significant difference.  I will definitely share how she's doing along the way!
