Discussions concerning celiac disease support groups and support group meetings. http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:20:47 +0000 60 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/89654-roti-restaurant-in-the-dc-and-chicago-areas/
I admit that I was so happy to taste something remotely close to regular pita bread that I gobbled down 2 slices far too quickly. (Each pita is maybe 8in in diameter.) Within 10-15 min I had that old friend nausea step in. Mild, but obvious and some mild bowel symptoms later.

I am not sure if I just ate too fast or if it was not truly gluten free. I have written to the company to hear their procedure for making it, but I wouldn't be surprised if they swore purity for gluten free. I also had humous and vegetables. The humous ingredients are written on the label, all seemed well.

So this is just a warning if you decide to list this restaurant on your list of gluten-free friendly restaurants for your support group: do some homework first.]]> Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:20:47 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/89654-roti-restaurant-in-the-dc-and-chicago-areas/ http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/88825-indianapolis-or-carmel-indiana/ Does anyone know of a good support group in this area? I would love to network with some local folks here.

I would love to know if any meetups or potential for support group in Louisville KY? I tried Gluten Free Louisville, but the site does not seem to be updated and their application will not come up when I try to view/print. Not sure if they are still active.]]> Sat, 07 Jan 2012 16:22:00 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/88714-louisville-ky/ http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/88501-gluten-free-meet-up-in-toronto-canada/
I believe a gluten free meet-up in Toronto, Canada was proposed awhile ago and I'd like to follow up on it and see if anyone is interested? There's a great restaurant in Kensington Market that's gluten free called The Kensington Cornerstone. If anyone is interested please let me know what night of the week would work.

Thanks!

I was feeling so awful before I was on it and now I am feeling better. I am having trouble with finding snacks and little things I can eat throughout that day. I am finding the whole thing kinda difficult and could use any advice anyone has to offer.

I just recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease and been having a hard time finding a support group. It is so hard to know one day everything is fine and dandy and the next your whole life completely changed. Please let me know. Thanks!

I bought a pack and it even says gluten free right on the front.]]> Sun, 23 Oct 2011 22:13:34 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/86311-halloween-candy/ http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/86298-support-group-in-southern-ca/ Does anyone know of a support group near me Sun, 23 Oct 2011 16:40:05 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/86298-support-group-in-southern-ca/ http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/85868-looking-for-a-support-group/ I have not been officially diagnosed with Celiac. However, my blood tests always come back not statistically significant. In addition, I have a family member who has been diagnosed. I have two family friends who are nurses and I have about 90 percent of the symtoms. I have decided to be proactive and give the gluten free diet a try. I am lost as where to start. If anyone has any ideas of what for me to look for in purchasing food or where to go I would be happy for the suggestions. Thanks so much for your help.

Most ecclesial bodies let their members take Communion as a rice cracker or other gluten-free grain product. However, the Catholic Church requires that the Host be under the form of unleavened wheat bread.

That requirement creates certain challenges to Catholics who have celiac disease or gluten intolerance. To address these challenges, and to provide moral support and advice, "Catholic Celiacs" has now been created as a social group on www.catholic.com . All Catholics who have either or both of these conditions are welcome to join! ( http://forums.catholic.com/group.php?groupid=1179 )

(The discussion group is not formally affiliated with the Catholic Celiac Society, but is generally supportive of its threefold mission.) ]]> Wed, 14 Sep 2011 20:43:37 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/85034-online-support-group-for-catholics/ http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/85008-groups-in-mcclean-vienna-va-area/ Wed, 14 Sep 2011 15:18:40 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/85008-groups-in-mcclean-vienna-va-area/
