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!

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By BelleDeJour · Posted

      I hope you all had a nice weekend. Cloudy here in Hampshire. Just a little update that might help someone else one day. Over the weekend, I realised that the brand of almond milk I had been buying contains added iodine. So, I visited the supermarket and chose a different brand (Plenish) that does not contain added iodine and have been drinking that since Saturday. No itching at all yesterday! Another breakthrough (thank you @knitty kitty). I think the added iodine milk may have been what was causing that last 10% itch.  I also met a friend for coffee in town yesterday. The cafe only had soya milk (which I have not been sure I am OK with) but I had 2 delicious latte's made with soya milk. I also had a gluten-free millionaire's shortbread. I am beginning to enjoy the taste of almond and soya milk a lot more than cows milk now.  I seem to be fine with a little sprinkle of cheddar cheese on my jacket potato. I bake them in my air fryer and have them with a big mixed salad and baked beans. I also made a gluten-free tuna pasta bake on Saturday; it's my son's favourite dish. I was  fine with that, too but have noticed that a whole can of tuna sets me off itching.  It is a learning curve. My dermatology appointment is tomorow and I will come back to update. Have a good week everyone.

      An observation about psyllium husk

      By transplantwest · Posted

      Psyllium can't sit for more than a minute in the water or it is like drinking sludge. Swallowed fairly soon means it's more like an flavorless undermixed protein smoothie. Chlorophyll ( or two tbsp) really helps the taste, makes it minty. Taking Psyllium and Chlorophyll separately rather than together at first helps determine if there's intolerance to either. Also starting the Psyllium in small doses, starting with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon to tolerate the fiber change.

      Gluten attack severe insomnia and anxiety?

      By DanMc · Posted

      BuddhaBar, I came across this thread while searching online for celiac insomnia (having also scared myself stupid by finding out about fatal insomnia) and it did bring me some piece of mind as it so closely matches my own experience. I know this thread is old now, I hope you're doing well, and thanks for posting your experience.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      By cristiana · Posted

      That's great news, @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour.  And you might find that if you do have asthma, keeping your reflux under control may help, if my experience is anything to go by.
