I'm trying to start a support group in the Tacoma/Puyallup area. I haven't really been able to find anything down here. Does anyone know of a support group in the Tacoma area? GIG lists one, but then the address is Seattle and I e-mailed them and didn't get a response. If you are interested let me know and I would also appreciate ideas from anyone who goes to meetings as to what to talk about or do.

Thanks! Abby

Hi Abby,

Just a brief note of encouragement for you to start a support group - We are the Bellingham Gluten Intolerance Group - I invite you to check out our website - www.glutenfreeway.info. There you can find out a bit about us, our meeting topics, etc. We started in 1999 with only 5 members. We serve the "4th Corner" region of the state of Washington. Many of our meetings are attended by folks from 50 miles or more away !! I would think that in Tacoma/Puyallup there would be a great need for a support group because of a much higher population base. There is such a need for people to have a place to find others who are dealing with the gluten-free diet - support and encouragement - so important.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      So I purchased the Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine along with the Thiamax. I will take along with my Super B Complexes. I stopped taking the multi vitamins. Should I take all 3 vitamins/supplements together with my morning oatmeal breakfast? Do you think I will experience any bad symptoms when taking them.

      Traveling gluten-free in Ireland

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      Of all the countries I have visited in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, I have found eating out in Ireland to be the safest for celiacs. Most restaurants have all allergens (up to 14 different ones) identified on their menus, including wheat and gluten. I have found staff at restaurants to be very knowledgeable regarding gluten and cross-contamination compared to most other countries. Restaurant staff (including management) in Ireland even tried dissuading me from eating some items labeled 'gluten-free' on the menu, fearing that there could be risk of minuscule cross-contamination. Many of the hotels have fresh baked gluten-free breads, pastries, and cakes at their breakfast buffet, something unheard of in most U.S hotels. These are clearly labeled and well separated from gluten-containing items. There are also quite a few gluten-free desserts to satisfy one's sweet tooth.  With everything said and done, the meats and dairy products are simply delicious and worth trying. Overall, I would give dining out in Ireland five stars for celiac safety and quality.

      No, I meant two years ago when you had your most recent upper GI scope.
