I'm 22, and not recently diagnosed at all! Been diagnosed for about 20 years now.

I live in Southern Pennsylvania, but find myself often in South Jersey where I grew up (in Washington Township). I'm always looking for new friends, not to mention people to meet and talk to who understand the plight of eating gluten free :)

Hey Samantha! I just moved from Deptford, NJ to the Maryland area, and my parents live in south-central PA. Are you more toward Philly?

Hey everyone!

"Home" for me is Gettysburg, PA, I work in Howard County, MD, I go to school in Philadelphia, and I'm moving to New Jersey soon. So yep, I've got Maryland and the East Coast covered! :)

I'm 23, enjoy reading, horseback riding, horses and animals in general. I work for a horse magazine.

Kaiti - do you go to school in Frederick? I'm pretty familiar with Frederick - I drive through there to get to work and I sometimes go there to shop, etc. (b/c there is no civilization around me!) In fact, I'm going there to see a movie tomorrow :D

Hi there. I live 20 minutes North of Philadelphia and about 20 minutes from Trenton. So I've got those 2 states covered. My 2 stepcousins and Aunt love to ride horses. They have 2 and do a show every weekend it seems. My Aunt also shoots all the shows and then has a website business where people can buy her photos. Here is her link if you're interested or have run across her in shows Open Original Shared Link

Philadelphia and the New Jersey area has a lot to offer for gluten-free people. If you have any questions just let me know!

Oh wow, how cool! Where does your Aunt live? I'm wondering if I've seen her at some shows before. I was looking at her website, but didn't see a location. You can PM me if you prefer.

(By the way, since my quote post was originally made in 9/05, I have moved to New Jersey, and recently back to Maryland, now in Frederick since Jan of this year. Time flies...)

I live in Marshall, VA. It's about 45 min. west of D.C. and really not too far from those who live in Fairfax :) I am new to this site and to the Celiac life and would like to know of places to eat out! I feel so alone in this!

My parents live in Marshall, VA, and I go up there to visit fairly often. While I don't eat out anymore (too many other intolerances), the IGA in town has a fairly good gluten-free selection, as does Bloom. IGA used to have even more products, when I was first diagnosed, but they do take special requests/orders.

When I was still eating out, I went to the Outback in Warrenton, Fairfax, and Centreville, never having a problem at any of them. There's also a Bonefish in Gainesville, which has a gluten-free menu, but I got sick from that one.

No way! I wonder if I know them ;) We've only lived here for 6 years this Dec. though :)

I have noticed that IGA does carry a good amount of specialties but they are expensive!!!! Bloom has some stuff too but I still find myself going to Whole Foods to get a bunch of stuff to suppliment. I can't find everything I want/need around here.

The Outback recommendations are great! Thank you :) I've never been to Bonefish before, all seafood huh? It's nice to "meet" you :)

Yeah, it's a small world! My parents have lived there about 7 or 8 years now, I guess. It would be funny if you knew them!

IGA *is* expensive. I buy certain things there when I'm up that way, but I still do a lot of shopping at the Whole Foods in Fairfax.

I hope the Outbacks work for you; I got glutened horribly by one down here where I live, but I was okay with the ones up in that area. I would just be very clear with your needs and try to go during an off time.

Bonefish had great food--it's mostly seafood, and it's a bit pricey, but it's good. However, since I got sick there, I haven't been back. This was shortly after they opened, so hopefully they are better with the gluten-free options now.

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
