hello friends,

I have been away for the past few months. I was in the Camp Hill area and they have a group that meet every month accept the Holidays. I want to see a group get started that meets monthy where we share our recipes and learn how to deal with this illness. If this is something you guys would like to see let me know.

I am from the Harrisburg area, and besides my two celiac friends I really don't know anyone else. If anyone is ever going to get together and go out to eat down towards the Philly area I am willing to travel to dine with people who understand. I think we should do a road trip to Doylestown for the gluten-free pizza.

If you roadtrip to Doylestown PM me. Jules is great! They also sell gluten-free dessert items at the counter (prepackaged stuff - so their extra safe!)

I'd meet you there.

Thanks, I will let you know when we are thinking of heading out. Right now things are hectic with work and by the weather this morning it looks like winter has arrived. I will remember that though.

Echoing that - we live about 20 mins away from Jules. It was great. I did take out so didn't get the gluten free treats! I'll have to dine in next time!

Hi! I live in the Malvern/West Chester area and was diagnosed last November along with my 16 year old son who is much sicker and having a lot more adaptation problems than I am. Is there really gluten-free pizza commercially available anywhere? Doylestown is quite a hike for us.

Hi,

I've been looking for people to meet up with in the Philly area if anyone is interested.

Hey I live outside of Philadelphia in the suburbs about 20 miles north. Ive been doing the diet for about 2 weeks now and doing pretty well. Id be interested in having some sort of meeting. My uncle does the diet and a girl I work with does too. I know she would probably be interested too.

I'm in Limerick, kinda halfway between KoP and Pottstown. Self dx'd about 2 weeks ago. Anyone know of a support group out this way? I don't mind driving longer distances, but would definitely appreciate company on the way there and back, so if anyone in the local area is interested in carpooling, let me know. I'd also be more likely to actually make it to meetings if there's someone else along. I don't mind driving out to the Harrisburg area if something's going on, since Mom lives in Camp Hill and she has crash space.

There are a few Harrisburg celiacs on here, we would love to have a gathering one day :)

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
