Gf Holiday Get Together

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

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
