I would definitely be interested in this, but I just do not know how much time I will have to do a regular follow-up or participation.  I do use this website to check to see what products are gluten free...(I do have Celiac Disease).... and have found it VERY helpful.  If you want to contact me, reply and I will check a little later.  Thanks, Marlene

Can anyone help Personal Message all members to make sure that they are set up to  "Follow This Topic" at top right? Whoever does this should probably include a link to it:

My hope is to plan a first live chat meeting sometime next month.

I've been thinking about starting a "Celiac.com Online Support Group" which would hold regular online meetings here in our "Live Chat" area? I am hoping there are others out there who might be interested. Please let me know if you are:

  1. Interested in joining such a group;
  2. Interested in helping to lead or otherwise help out with such a group;

To join just create a forum account, then make a post in this topic, then click "Follow This Topic" at top right.

 

Our goal is:

  • To help our members adjust and deal with being gluten-free;
  • To help our members adjust and deal with the effects of celiac disease and gluten sensitivity;
  • To provide a friendly and convenient way for our members to meet and exchange information online, including regular live chat support group meetings.

 

I will join, if I am needed, and available for the meeting times.

Happy to help out and moderate/answer questions if you wish, especially from a Canadian aspect, which is where I live!  Diagnosed in 1983, and I have followed this website since its inception, I currently moderate several Facebook pages and have run a Chapter of a Celiac Association, along with putting on lots of seminars and events through the years.  I have also travelled extensively mostly with work however some on vacation, through Canada, Europe, USA, Central America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

 

I have several auto immune related medical conditions (along with unrelated medical conditions now), Celiac being diagnosed 5 years after Graves Disease - although they did not know about the auto immune connection back in the 70's and 80's as Celiac was still listed as a rare disease.

 

The best learning experience I had within the last year was attending the bi-annual Symposium for Celiac Disease in Chicago this past September, where all the top Celiac doctors and researchers met and discussed the current and future for Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Intolerance around the world based on current research taking place.  It truly was an eye opening experience, especially to hear how a group of these experts are helping get people diagnosed in Third World countries, such as parts of Africa, where their primarily meal is also couscous (which is wheat based) and how to cope with their new diet.  I never thought I had it bad 30 years ago when I was diagnosed as I was so happy to get better and just eat really plain food, however when you have little money and only one affordable type of food that is a big issue.  No longer is celiac disease a Northern European descent disease - it truly is affecting people around the world. 

 

I look forward to chatting with all of you!

Would be great to help out however I seem to have some posting restrictions on my account despite it being 3 years old now.  I guess I did not post enough in the past... :)  If you can deal with that then I can PM people if you wish.

Hi gfyvr, and Welcome.

 

Your restriction involves the number of posts and not by how long you are a member.  Perhaps you would like to post more about your journey and introduce yourself to others in the Forum.  That should help you get closer to getting your restriction lifted and would be great for other members to get to know you.

Just joined this forum. I have been using this website to help with the myriad of questions that have arisen since I went gluten free (the last 6 months.) I had a food sensitivity panel done back in May of 2013 which showed I was sensitive to a number of things, including wheat, gluten, rye, barley, dairy, eggs, soy, etc. I was surprised at all except the dairy. I figured that one out myself. It took me a couple of months to eliminate gluten. Like a lot of folks, I was in denial because I was a gluten addict. I finally did eliminate the gluten starting in mid July 2013. I had no idea where that would lead. Now, I'm afraid I've been off gluten too long to get tested for Celiac. It's a tortuous thought to consider a gluten challenge just so I can get tested for Celiac. It's bad enough when I am exposed to trace amounts accidentally. Hoping to learn more here. Thanks so much!

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
