I'm really angry because my mom doesnt want me go to my Celiac Chapter meeting on Nov.4 in Regina. :angry: she keeps coming up with excuses to why I cant go. I'd even skip a day of college for that. its supposed to be bowling (which is terribly miss) and pizza night. and you can bring anyone. she doesnt want to listen to me when I say why am I paying $40 a year for a membership if I'm not even allowed to be a part of any of the meeting or gatherings?? :blink:

Its all of my family who are the ones that keep saying they dont know anything about Celiac and have never heard of it or anything, so this is their good chance to finally learn at least somewhat, taste some glutenfree food and have some fun. :angry:

Anyone one here from Saskatchewan that is going to it????

How old are you? It's a shame that your own family can't support you - and get the education they need. What a wonderful opportunity to go someplace where you won't have to worry about getting sick from the food. I know that's ALWAYS on the back of my mind whenever I go someplace other than home or work. Kinda sucks, but it's the only way to stay healthy.

I'm 21..But the thing is, i dont drive (its not something i'm skilled at at all) so without someone taking me, I have no way of going..I'd take the bus, but then I'd have no way to get to the bowling alley, and then nowhere to stay :P .. I dont know, it just really makes me dislike having Celiac all over again....

(clutching at straws)

- do you have a contact name(s) in the chapter who could meet you at the bus stop?

- are there web sites where you can research a suitable B+B or other place to stay where you can stay overnight and be sure of gluten-free catering? can the chapter suggest or recommend one?

I have this problem often enough on this small island, my heart goes out to you in the wide open spaces of N America ... hoping the best for you.

In the very worst case scenario it is NOT a victory for those who didn't want you to go, it's a thing there were practical obstacles against and you will do all you can and enlist others to help bring it about next time or the time after ...

Maybe your being seen to try & organise the above & enlist the assistance of chapter members might spark the imagination of those closer to you after all ...

:rolleyes:

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?
