Awareness....anywhere?

Not sure if I posted in the right spot...

I was wondering if there was any kind of walk or any kind of awareness being promoted. I would be very interested in being part of getting one together.

Maybe to restaurants, grocery stores, etc.....

In the lower part of the home page here is a calender listing for ongoing events around the country (world). You can also contact your nearest organized support group and coordinate with them.

If you let us know what area of the country you are we can hook you up with support organizations.

The Center for Celiac Research (www.celiaccenter.org) holds walks every year, and different cities hold them in conjunction with it. Open Original Shared Link

For local events, your best bet would be to contact your local support group (either through GIG, CDF, or CSA) and see what is going on in your community.

      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.

      @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 🥹
