I belong to the Portland group. It's a good group. And so is the Vancouver group.

Maybe we'll see you there.

Is there a support group in Salem area or anywhere between there and Oregon City. I live North East of Salem. What happens in these support groups anyway. I would just love to find someone who has been there done that, who can answer questions.

I have a low carb store in eugene and I am getting ready to devote shelf and freezer space to gluten-free. I also have floor space where groups could meet...free of charge of course! If there is anyone in the area who is interested in getting something going, please let me know. eugenelowcarb@yahoo.com

I realize that these are old posts, but Nancy, I've heard that the Salem group is incredible, but that was a few years ago.

Tom, I haven't heard of active groups outside of Portland and Salem areas. I heard a rumor a few years ago that there was a bit of a group in Bend.

Hope this helps!

I asked this in another thread, but does anyone know of any gluten-free friendly restaurants in Bend? Thanks!

There is a little bake shop with some gluten-free stuff that is really good in Sisters. On the side street next to a fishing shop....if you are heading from salem to bend the side street with the bake shop is on the left, ones street over....wish I could recall more....sorry

I am in Albany Oregon and must drive to Salem or Eugene to attend a support group....and don't seem to get emails back from the one closest to me in Salem......I think the other salem group that responded to me said it would be ok for me to attend their meetings.....but we all need to get busy creating more support groups. Food is like language, it is a natural social need to be around others who eat and talk like we do.

I started a support group in Eugene / Springfield for gluten free kids and their families. I have two kids that needed the support. We attended the Salem R.O.C.K. (Raising Our Celiac Kids) and thought it was great and just what we needed in Eugene.

We have gluten free samples and foods. Activities are provided for the kids while they have fun with other gluten free kids and the parents swap stories, recipes, tips, etc...

For more information about this support group, please call Sheri at 541-747-1696 or e-mail at gf_kids.rock@yahoo.com (when e-mailing please type ROCK in the subject line)

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
