Does anyone know of a Celiac support group in Chicago? I don't have a car so the group must meet somewhere in the city.

Thanks!

Hello Devon,

There is a group called the MetroCeliacs that meets in the city. We are an active group, that has one meeting a month and one Supper Club outing. If you are interested, our next meeting is Thursday, February 16. We will be meeting at the Days Inn, near Clark and Diversey, at 6:30. Our meetings usually go for an hour. This month we are excited to have Kim Koeller from Gluten Free Passport. Feel free to stop by.

If you would like more information, please email MetroCeliacs@yahoo.com.

      @TerryinCO, Are you taking a B Complex in addition to your B12?  B 12 needs the other B vitamins to function correctly.  Celiac disease and the damage to the intestines makes absorbing vitamins and minerals difficult.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing while you're healing.   Are you on any medication for your Gerd?  Here is often caused by too little production of digestive juices.  Supplementing with a B Complex will help.

      OTC pain reliever that are gluten-free and corn free??

      I definitely try to get those in my diet.  There is most likely a genetic component to the issues.  Thank you so much for the advice!!

      Bless your heart!  That does make for a bumpy journey!  The Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus really works well for pain relief.  I was surprised at how well it works.  I can't recommend it enough.  I can't tolerate aspirin nor nsaids.   Are you getting enough Omega Threes in your diet?  Healthy fats like olive oil help keep our discs and joints healthy and fluid.

      Thank you!  I will have to look into that.  I have Anklosing Spondylitis, bulging and dehydrated discs so pain is a big part of my life.

      Welcome to the forum, @trsprecker, I needed daily pain relief for three crushed vertebrae and found out that Thiamine, Pyridoxine, and Cobalamin (Vitamins B 1, B 6, and B12) have an analgesic effect.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/   This is the one I order through that big online store... It's made in Japan.  I've been taking it for a couple of years now without problems.   GSG 12X Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets I don't do corn, nuts nor artificial sweeteners, either!    Keep us posted on your progress!
