Am going to be starting a support group in Kitsap County Washington. We don't have one except for Port Townsend which is in Jefferson County. Anyone interested please email me at j_herman53@msn.com. Thankyou in advance, Judy

Hi Judy,

Where are you located in Kitsap County? I live on Bainbridge Island and started an email support group a few months ago. Here is the link: Open Original Shared Link

There are only three of us but I recently met another woman who is about to join. I am very interested in finding others to chat about being celiac. I've been on a gluten-free diet for 8 months now and I'm at the stage where I feel I have no food to eat, I'm bored with what little I can eat and so on. It woudl be nice to get together with other people to at least explore different food options.

warmly,

Selena

I live in Puyallup and I've been looking for a support group. What city do you think you'll meet in?

Probably Bremerton or Silverdale. I live on Bainbridge Island but the other two places are more central. Have you considered starting your own group and posting fliers around your area? How close are you to Federal Way? Maybe you could ask at Marlene's Health food store for some connections.

warmly,

Selena

Hi Abby:

I lead the Snohomish County Celiac Support Group. We current meet in a North Seattle location (Lake Forest Park), but previously met in Edmonds. One of our members wants to start a group in the south end of Puget sound, possibly near Valley General Hospital in Renton. I'm not sure how much progress she's made with arranging a location, but you can pm me with your email address which I'll forward on to her or I can just give you her email address.

Hi, I just moved to Silverdale and was wondering where I can go to get anything that is gluten free. I'm used to living by a Whole foods, and I did live close enough to shop at Manna Mills in Lynwood. But since I'm new over on this side of the water I have not found anyone selling Kinnikinnick products, or Ener-G or Glutino. Anyone got any advise? :blink:

Hi Pam,

I don't know about premade stuff, but Central Market in Poulsbo has a good selection of gluten-free mixes and bulk flours. They are also really good about labeling salads in the deli. It's just off 305, on the left as you are coming from Silverdale

Hi Pam,

I live right next to Silverdale. Central Market has the widest range of gluten-free and organic and exotic foods in the area, I go there only when I really need something (like snacks for a trip) and don't have the time to order online. They stock all of their gluten-free foods in the same aisles as the non-gluten-free foods, so you just need to go to the general aisle and start looking. Price-wise you are going to pay for it. On a weekly basis, I go to Fred Meyer (Riddell and Waaga Way in East Bremerton). Their gluten-free foods are located in the SUPPLEMENTS aisle (don't ask me why) in the natural foods section of the store. They have a better selection than Safeway for gluten-free stuff, there are cereals and cookies and if you are lucky, pretzels. The Arrowhead Mills Buckwheat Maple flakes cereal is real yummy. I have asked Safeway in Silverdale to stock more gluten-free stuff. They do have a nice selection of Organic fresh veggies, though. About once a month I stock up on things like bread crumbs, crackers, cookies, etc. online at Scott's store www.glutenfreemall.com . The only problem I have with it is if I want something like a bagel it only comes frozen and there's a big added fee for frozen stuff. I tried making my own, kind of fun, but not very tasty.....

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Jason Dyer · Posted

      Wow. I mean, I REALLY don't want to give up beer, but I NEVER cheat. I get caught (glutenized in my vernacular), but I never cheat. I didn't even know that was a thing...

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      I wonder why they put dextrose in it?

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      PS - Many new celiacs report that they can go gluten-free, with the exception of giving up beer. That seems to be a bridge too far from many celiacs, and may be why nearly 20% cheat on their diets:

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For those with celiac disease we know that there is a huge range in sensitivity, for example we've had many members here who report that even smelling wheat bread cooking in a bakery, for example a bakery in a supermarket, triggers an immediate gluten reaction that can last days or longer. Is there science to back this up--not that I've seen. Does this mean that it can't happen? Since it does seem to happen to some people, I can't say that there isn't something real happening to these folks.  Similarly there seems to be celiacs who can drink even regular beers, many of which have detectable gluten at under 20ppm, without issues, and many drink gluten reduced beers made from barley on a daily basis without issues, and without elevated antibodies or damaged villi. I also know that some celiacs report getting very sick from a single sip of gluten reduced beer. To be on the safe side it's probably best to stick with a naturally gluten-free beer, however, many of them lack the real beer taste, thus, some celiacs cheat on their diets and just drink regular beer. In this case I think having a choice is important, and drinking a gluten reduced option would be better than regular beer.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      Actually, gluten intolerance and celiac disease are not the same. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, while gluten intolerance is a broader term that can include Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS). NCGS involves gluten-related symptoms without the autoimmune or allergic response seen in celiac disease. The terms are often used inconsistently, which can cause confusion.
