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

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?
    • trents
      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
