Any Celiacs Near Denver, Colorado?

Hi all!

 

Anyone living in or near Denver? I'm a recently diagnosed celiac, just 4 months into the gluten-free thing. Still struggling, frustrated, feeling discouraged about ever being able to eat outside my house again. It would be nice to have a group of friends nearby who can share the same experiences. :-)

Have you googled "celiac support Denver"  I'm sure there is a group.  You live in a great area for gluten-free eating.  My son is at CSU.  We like Beau Jos for pizza.  There are all the usual good Celiac friendly places like Outback Steak, Bonefish Grill, Pf Changs, Pei Wei (? not sure if its in CO).  And a bunch more.  

 

There is someone who just mentioned a pizza place in Co Springs.  I think they have a Denver location.

Thanks Kareng, I did look that up and found the Denver Metro Celiac Support Chapter. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they are very active, they show no meetings, classes or event through April 15th. I didn't think it would be so difficult finding other celiacs here - like you said, it's a very supportive area for gluten free eating. I even tried starting a meetup group, but got no interest. All the Colorado celiacs must still be in the closet - come out out! :-)

Looks like they meet every other month and have a meeting tonight.

I didn't see that, thanks. Unfortunately, Englewood is at least 45 minutes away, and by the time I get off work tonight, I'd miss most of the meeting. Ah well, maybe in two months....

 

In the meantime and in between time, any local celiacs that want to get together, I sure would like to find them! :-)

Hey Tonalynn, I live in Golden, CO and I was just looking today for local celiacs support groups. Did you ever find anything here in town?

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
