HELLO! I live in Bakersfield and I'm a celiac. As far as I know there aren't any support groups here but I know two other celiacs living here. It's wonderful to hear there is somebody else here too.

Hi Stargirl,
How long since you've been diagnoised. It's only been since July for me.
Dr. Bhaika is my doctor.Who was your doc that found the Celiac. Maybe we can get with our doctors to maybe get started in some kind of support group here in Bakersfield. What do you think?

I am so excited to see other posts from Bakersfield! I also have been looking for a support group here in Bakersfield. I was finally diagnosed by Dr. Gupta 2 years ago. I feel better than I have ever felt. Maybe we can form a group, I can sure use some encouragement! Let me know if you would like to contact me by email.

I have so many ? re:celiac. I will contact Dr. Bhaika today to see if we could use his office or if he has any suggestions.
I have been off work since 3-20-04 due to medical problems. I returned to work 9/02. I was taken to the ER because I lost all muscle control and could not open my eyes. This was the problem before, but w/seizure like activity(non epi.)
You can e-mail me at mitchriders5@yahoo.com. Hope to hear from you.

I was diagnosed January of 2004, so moving up on one year for me. I was diagnosed by my mother actually but had the diagnosis confirmed by Dr. Tipton, a pediatric GI. Unfortunately we couldn't really work with us here, he is only in Bakersfield for about a day a month, the rest of the time he works at UCLA. I would enjoy being a part of a celiac support group here in Bakersfield. My life is a little crazy right now, it's my senior year of high school and I'm pretty busy. I know three other Celiacs that live here that might be interested too. Keep me updated!

Outback does have a gluten-free menu, take a look at their website. My husband and I go there on our dates. Let me know where & when, I would like to get involved with a support group. I have a commitment tomorrow and a campout with the boy scouts this weekend (my husband is the leader), but I can start planning for any future meetings.
Thanks,

Hey, Outback sounds good to me. I will take a look at their web site. Are you available during the day?(school hours). My husband works M-F in Ventura. Weekends are our family days. The doctor has me off work still so i'm pretty flexible M-F. I hope the other bakersfield Celiacs respond as well.

Wow! That's some commute! No, I wish I were available during the day, but I work M-F 8-5, I can do evenings. Let me know, I'll do my best to make time to get together.

Hi guys! It's Laura again. I love the idea of meeting at Outback and having a dinner together but I can't do Wednesday. If it is possible to move it I would enjoy going. It is fine, however, if you want to go ahead and leave it on the 13.
