Hi Lorka,

Where in Southern Ontario? I am in the outskirts of Toronto (Bowmanville).

Hello there!

I am also in Southern Ontario, and would definitely be interested in meeting additional fellow celiacs! I just discovered this site (don't know how I missed it before... :P ) and am so pleased to finally be able to communicate with others who share this problem.

I was diagnosed as a kid, but back then all we knew to avoid was wheat, rye and barley. We didn't have any information about byproducts. Didn't know malt was a no-no, didn't know about HPP being suspect, caramel colour, etc. etc. I'm still learning - only found out about these issues a couple of years ago when I started surfing the net concerning celiac, so you can imagine my concern now, realizing I've been ingesting this "bad" stuff all these years without realizing it was a problem. I am totally asymptomatic, so it's very hard to avoid "cheating"! :rolleyes:

Whether we manage to connect in person or not, it's nice to meet you, and I hope to come here often for information and inspiration!

Hi

I also live in southern ontario, but have a two hour access to Toronto. Am glad to know there is someone closer than Calgary. (There are alot of posts from there.)

this is an amazingly informative and helpful web site.

Have 4 very active children and therefore not much time to meet, but am willing to share ideas.

I am not having that much trouble cooking for my husband and 10 year old son, so I'm a little worried I'm doing something wrong!

Have been feeding my son Corn Pops. He is getting pretty sick of them every morning. Are there any other commercial cereals out there from the local grocery store, or do I need to make a trip somewhere to find breakfast cereal?

Nice to hear from you,

Andie

Wow! What an old thread - I wrote this two years ago!

Nice to 'meet' you, Andie. It's a wealth of info, here.

      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.
