I was diagnosed about 2 weeks ago with Celiac, also hae to stay away for Soy and Dairy (Casien). My husband and I moved to GA about a year and a half ago. I would love to hear from anyone near Atlanta to understand more about what I need to do- how to help my husband understand-and how to make this a positive change for him too.
Looking forward to meeting new friends!

Harrisgirl,

Welcome to the board and Atlanta. I live just west of the city and ride MARTA. I work in the midtown area of the city. This June I will be gluten free for 2 years.

There are several more of us from the Atlanta area on this board. You can pm me anytime.

Again Welcome!
Susan

Hey, I am new to this board and I am just northwest of Atlanta. I am a stay at home mom. My son has always had allergies to some kind of food but this is new to me. Hope you get adjusted here is Hotlanta. Nice to meet you. If you need anything or info let me know.

Hi Harrisgirl. I have lived in the Atlanta area my whole life and was diagnosed 2 years ago. PM me if you would like to talk.

I was born and raised in Atlanta. I will be moving back there as soon as I finish my degree.
I was diagnosed about a year ago. Feel free to message me if you ever want to talk!

I'm newly diagnosed and live in Atlanta as well. I'm also struggling a little, especially with getting my husband and friends to understand...so I can't help you there...but I'm here if you need someone to commiserate with.

BTW, does anyone know a good dietitian with experience in Celiac disease in the ATL area?

I'm gluten intolerant and in Atlanta, as well . . . also allergic to dairy, soy, and eggs. But I've adjusted pretty well by (most of the time) focusing on the beauty of what still is available within these limitations. I blog about it at http://sallyashbrook.com/blog if any of you are interested in recipes, insights, etc., from a local girl.

Hi All...I'm in Atlanta too! Actually Marietta but I work in a hospital in Atlanta. Originally from New Orleans and moved here 10 yrs ago.
I am going to see Dr. Jagiella on 8/31. She is a celiac specialist (or at least sees all of the celiac pts in the pratice.) She was recommended on the Atlanta celiac website as well.

I'm new to all of this but I'm here if anyone wants to compare notes!!!

See y'all around the board!

I formerly lived in Atanta (Marietta) for eleven years and still visit 2x every year to see my GI doctor (Dr. Rudert) and family. My husband and I live on the west coast of Florida and I am originally from Savannah. I am always looking for other gluten sensitive or Celiac friends to meet/have lunch with when I visit Atlanta. Do you live on the north side of town? I usually stay in the perimeter area when I visit my doctor.
