I wanted to get a group of gluten-free people together for the holidays. How many people in the Orange County, Sullivan County, Pike County and Sussex County areas would be interested in meeting for gluten-free eating and holiday festivities?

There are ONLY 10 weekends until Christmas EVE!!!!!!!

I am from upstate NY, Binghamton area. I travel up and down the east coast to catch a few Bruce Springsteen concerts, hoping for another holiday show. Anyway, I would love a gluten-free holiday party. Don't know any celiacs personally, well other than my son's principals daughter.

Normally, each year I try to have Thanksgiving and a "Festivus" dinner party.

The ironic thing is the meal is completely gluten free, but I am the only Celiac that attends.....I am always surrounded by "gluten-friendly-folks"...

ANOTHER FESTIVUS MIRACLE!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in Orange County NY (well I will be from Dec. 22nd - Jan 2nd at least), the rest of the time I'm in PA (college).

I'm 20 and would certainly be interested in a gluten-free holiday get-together.... my mom's not being too cooperative about the whole gluten-free thing (she doesn't like to cook to begin with), so I know for Thanksgiving I'm making my own gluten-free stuffing, because her response to the family member that cooks Thanksgiving dinner was, "Well Jess just won't eat the stuffing, because that's certainly not gluten-free!" Thanks Mom for speaking for me:-) haha

I could definitely be down for a local celiac get together. I live in Orange County, but don't mind driving all over b/c I do that for work anyway. Let's get something going...

I cook Thanksgiving Dinner so that my husband and I can eat it too! The family seems to enjoy the whole meal and we eat gluten-free!

The more tasty, gluten-free foods that you can bring along helps as well as realizing that some foods can be gluten-free without them really trying. :P

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
