Wow thanks! Do any of you go to support groups? What are they like? Hey another Chippewa! What'd you major in?

Nope, I don't go to any of those... I live in New York City, lol :lol: . Just got the list off this site...

Oh! Oops, you mean support groups in general :) ...I haven't. I like these online ones and most of them aren't in Manhattan--they're in some other borough, often Long Island. I thought about it in the beginning, but found this board to be a more valuable resource ;)

I went to some support groups a few times when I was younger w/ my mom. THey were actually in michigan too! I think they helped me as a kid because it was the first time I saw other people like me. We didn't have the internet back then and stuff like that. I think they help because you get to talk to people and get stories about how they handle things and what they do. But as celiac3270 said, this online thing is kinda just the same. But I encourage you to go though. They may be different by now, I went when I was about 12 and now i'm 23 so i'm sure they have changed, You are from the south east, the Tri County Group down there does a lot of stuff. They even have a website www.tccsg.com. Actually on the 30th of april they are having a food fair. Anyways hope this helps.

Hello! I am new to this also, and I too live in Michigan! I am in the Thumb area on the sunrise side! Thanks Dave for the Tri-County info site. Looks like I am a day late for the Food Fair. I am sure there will be more! I look forward to chatting with you all! Have a great Monday!...... Niccole.

I went to the gluten-free food fair on Saturday.

Whole Foods market was there with samples of the gluten-free bakery items. They were great! The products are in the store available this week!

If anyone wants doughnuts, I suggest Celiac Specialties in Chesterfield, Mi. If you live downriver, Celiac Products www.celiacproducts.net they are in Wyandotte, Mi. The store is opening this week, no specific date was given. They are going to carry Celiac specialty bakery products and they are very nice people to talk to.

There were to chefs that would cater special events. One was selling special spice blends. One was offering in home services. He will come into your house and prepare meals in advance for you.

Bean flour and bean flour products were everywhere.

The gluten free beer was great! Never realized I missed til I tasted it.

I had a nice time. They were a lot of knowledgeable people there. I even got to see a Detroit sports icon there too.

:unsure: My doctor told me there is a support group here in SE Michigan, but I forgot which city it was in. Today is the first day I am on the diet. From what I see so far, this is a great site.

Wow--look at all of you from Michigan. Michigan is where I was born and raised. I also raised my children there and my grandkids are growing up there. I live on Long Island New York now and love it. My sister is a member of the Lansing area celiac group. I have gone to a celiac group here---Suffolk County Celiacs. The meetings are nice, but it's always about tasting foods and they meet often at restuarants and I just dont enjoy it. There are so many things I cant have now. We had gluten-free pizza and gluten-free choc cake one night and I was so sick in the morning, I almost missed work. I dont enjoy that--so, I normally dont go. I did attend the night that Dr. Peter Green from Columbia U came and that was very interesting. Deb

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By trents · Posted

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
