Hi,

I am orginally from Ellwood City Pa which is 30 miles north of Pittsburgh, moved to Ohio a year ago. Just have been diagnosed with celiac a month ago. Looking for some support groups and conferences around the area, along with people to talk to. When is the Columbus conference?

Hi,

I am orginally from Ellwood City Pa which is 30 miles north of Pittsburgh, moved to Ohio a year ago. Just have been diagnosed with celiac a month ago. Looking for some support groups and conferences around the area, along with people to talk to. When is the Columbus conference?

I live in Butler so we were fairly close. I go to the vet in Ellwood City monthly-- for my pets of course....

The conference is 11-4-06 $30.00 if you register before 9-22-06 .Where do you live in Ohio?there is a raisin rack store in Canton & columbus. great store a wide selection I call it a gluten-free haven........

A great cookbook is from from Annalise Roberts called gluten-free baking classics. it is the very best........

There a many mainstream foods you can use off the store shelf. Progresso portbella mushroom soup, the onion soup, the chicken corn chowder. Amy's tomato bisque soup is wonderful.The best pasta I've found is BiAglut, next is tinkyada. the firstone is like the real deal.Glutino pretzels are better then the real ones .If you have a store near you that carry Bell & Evans stuff they now have a gluten-free chicken nugget -black box. I do alot by mailorder.

there is alot to buy at the conference.If you go to the post on Columbus conference it will give you info. several of us have posted about it....

if there is anything in particular you need to know just ask & I'll try to answer the ?

I'M NOT A CELIAC, BUT I AM HERE FOR MY FRIEND, WE LIVE IN NE OH NEAR THE PA BORDER, ABOUT A HALF HOUR FROM ELLWOOD CITY. SHE WAS DIAGNOSED ALMOST A WEEK AGO, I'VE BEEN IN HERE FOR A FEW DAYS SEARCHING FOR INFORMATION FOR HER AND BUGGING FOLKS WITH ANOYING QUESTIONS. BUT I FIGURE, THE MORE I KNOW, THE EASIER IT WILL BE FOR ME TO HELP HER. I'VE BEEN TAKING NOTES, I KNOW IT SOUNDS REDICULOUS, BUT THIS IS NEW FOR US, AND I'M AFRAID I MAY FORGET STUFF. ALTHOUGH I THINK I KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS THAN HER DOCTORS DO.

welcome to the group... Yes, you probably do know more than most doctors as most of them are clueless about celiacs........You will learn loads from this great group of people. I truly think Doctors should join here so they can learn......

Keep in mind the Columbus Conference on Nov.4 2006. It's a great way to meet others and it is really a good conference for the $35.00 per person. Plus you can buy terrific gluten-free foods there. I stock up for the winter because here in Butler there is not much choice.

If I can help you both in any way please feel free to pm anytime.

Let me know if you can make the conference.......

Mamaw - thanks for the tip on the Columbus conference - this is the first I have heard of it. I have not logged onto this board routinely for a while. I am about 2 hours from Columbus - that is where my GI doc is. I will look for the thread on the conference - I will more than likely go if I can work it into my work and school schedules.

thanks again!

Tracy

Mamaw - I checked my calendar and saw that this conference is on a Saturday. I have class every Sat. until Dec. 16. But, I am very tempted to skip to go to this. My oldest son is a senior in High School, and he has to do a "senior project". He has decided to do it on Celiac Disease, so I think going to this conference would not only be good for me, but also good in helping him become more educated on the disease.

If I decide to go I will definitely let you all know - I would love to meet other people living with the disease. I have yet to meet anyone who really understands.........

Thanks!

Hello Stinger,

Sorry I haven't replied sooner. That is great you want to be supportive of your friend. Any questions you may have I will try to answer the best I can. I have been doing this for a little over a month and seen tremendous improvements in my health. I will help you out as much as I can. Take care.

Hi Everyone.

The Columbus Conference is wonderful. I will be there as well, as we are every year. My family and I have a gluten-free food company, 1-2-3 Gluten Free, and we'll have a table again. Please feel free to stop by and introduce yourselves. I've had celiac for over 7 years and am happy to answer any questions for you. Please feel free to PM me as well.

Kim.

Sounds like you are very close. I live by Cranberry. I have had celiac disease for 8 years but have never been to a celiac disease conference. This would be good for me to do. Nice to meet you.

Hi 3blessed

Can you go to the Columbus Conference? If you are planning be sure to register very quickly as it fills up fairly fast......I'm in Cranberry at least once a week.....

Do you attend the Pittsburgh celiac meetings? I don't because they are always in S. Hills ..... I think its time we start a small group get-to-gether in Cranberry.It doesn't have to be official but it's nice to get to know others who are in the same boat.....

I'm guessing I would be the oldest one but I'm young at heart.....

Feel free to e-mail me anytime.

thanks for the thought!!!! But I guess no matter how you cut it I'm still older.... life is a journey & I'm still running so I'm okay with being older...................... I always tell my kids they are the ones that are getting older...... My Mother is gonna be 86 & looks so young so I'm hoping I too can reach that age in good or fairly good health........

I would love to have a celiac disease group in cranberry.

Just not sure about the conference. I wish I would have known about it sooner. How far is it?

What local dr.s do you use?

The mileage to Columbus is about 220 & about 3 1/2 hrs from Butler.

There is a get to gether planned at Sunnybridge, McMurray Pa for Nov.11.06, you must call to register. It is not a conference or anything like one. Gina who is the owner has samples of gluten-free foods she's made & of course she hopes for big sales that day. If you have a note from a doctor they give discounts when stuff is not on sale.

The conference is worth the trip esp. if you are new to the disease..plus the foods you can purchase & then the big Raisin Rack Store ( which I love). it's a gluten-free haven......

If you have any ????'s please feel free to e-mail or pm me . I have sampled & taste tested many products...

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By CelestialScribe · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. You are lucky because in Korean food, many classic meals such as bibimbap without sauce, barbecue meats and some kinds of soups generally do not have gluten. But it is a good idea to confirm with the restaurant workers for safety reasons. Regarding certain locations, I enjoy going to places such as Plant in Seoul and Sprout in Busan. Moreover, using applications like HappyCow or TripAdvisor can assist you to discover additional choices in the regions you plan to visit. One big tip: it is good to know some important Korean sentences, for example 'I cannot eat gluten' (geulluteuneul meogeul su eopseoyo)  or 'Does this have gluten?' (igeoe neun geulluteuni deureo innayo?) because they can be very helpful. If you are considering getting a local guide, I'd suggest this one https://gowithguide.com/korea They were very helpful when I needed to find places with gluten-free food options because they provide tours tailored to your preferences. Good luck with your travels! 🍻

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      It is concerning.  Unfortunately a lot of doctors don’t know a lot about celiac disease, even some gastroenterologists.  Here is an article for you: Celiac disease and miscarriage I hope you have a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby!

      By RMJ · Posted

      Undiagnosed (and thus untreated) celiac disease is associated with a higher chance of miscarriage. The downside of continuing to eat gluten now is increased chance of miscarriage. The downside of stopping gluten now and having to restart later to get a clear, official diagnosis is that you might have worse symptoms eating gluten after being gluten free, but it wouldn’t affect your baby. I know which one I would choose!

      1540 TTG Results... Help!

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Blanco - you are most welcome, and I am glad to hear you have made your glutinous bucket list!  Just before my biopsy, after the shed loads of Weetabix and Penguins I had eaten, I had a terrible tight headache across my forehead, something I'd suffered from a child and had just thought was a headache at the time. Maybe my body was trying to tell me something, even back then?  But I know what you mean about black forest gateaux - I've never really liked McDonalds, Burger King or KFC but now wish I could eat all that stuff when my family are tucking into theirs!   On the plus side, you may have seen, in the big supermarkets, particularly Tesco's, the gluten free aisle is ever expanding.  In one of our local branches now it pretty much occupies a whole aisle.   You might have to shop around, but it is amazing what you can find.  Ginster's make their own gluten-free pasties now, for example.  I just need a senior executive from McVities to read this thread because once Penguins are gluten-free, I shall be happy! As for prescriptions, this link should help you find out what you are entitled to - yes, NHS lottery is absolutely how it is! I have personally never bothered with prescriptions, but some do.  I think perhaps what you could do is buy gluten-free for a month, cost it, then see if it's worth your while compared with what the NHS can offer.  With some bread loaves costing £3.50 a shot, it might be worth it? By the way - do keep us posted if you can, we'd love to know if your gastroenterologist insists upon an endoscopy.
