Hi! I'd love to meet people near me especially those who are new to this too. I have only been gluten-free for two weeks now. I know there is a support group in Phoenix but I was hoping for something smaller. I would love to get together with a few people and learn how to eat out. I am married, 46, love animals and crafts. We have three BIG dogs and 4 cats. I am a big scrapbooker and will try just about any craft out there. Jo Ann

I no longer live in Mesa. I did live near Baseline and Signal Butte until we downsized in June. We then moved to Gold Canyon, just East of Apache Junction. I have not been able to find a support group in the Mesa area. I have been gluten free for two years this coming Friday. If you do locate a support group, I would love to know. Where exactly do you live? Maybe we could meet for lunch at Pai Wai's which is on Val Vista, just south of 60. They have some gluten free options on their menu.

Hi!

I live in Mesa part-time. Just got back from there. I've been on gluten-free diet for just over three years and I don't mind it. The only thing is it's hard to keep from getting gluten inadvertently.

I was in Wendy's recently and noticed that the sour cream(or whatever) contained modified food starch. So now I avoid anything which might have sour cream.

I do love not having to deal with diarrhea, cramps, gaaas, and generally never knowing if I would be feeling okay or not when we are traveling or have something important going on.

I've found that I can eat the food at Tom's barbecue (no bun) on McKellips, and most Mexican food. I always go at odd times when they are not busy so I can have time to ask if there is any flour or wheat in the food.

I am 71 going on 40, married to a guy who is now convinced that HE has celiac, and we love cats but got tired of the humongous vet bills as our old cats spun out the last of their nine lives. Had dogs when the kids were young, and did the crafts, sewing, knitting, crochet bit B.C. Before computer.

I spent a lot of time on the computer looking up gluten related stuff at first.

Hello,

I'm in Mesa with my two children. I scrapbook and have been gluten-free for about 1.5 years. I would love to get together. I'm a sane, single mom trying to be more social! I'd love to meet, talk about food/preparation/cooking/dining out, etc.!

I'll link these responses to my email, so email me if you would like to meet.

Erin

Hi Everyone! My name is Kacie and I live in Mesa and have been gluten free for about 1.5 years. I found quite a few places that are accomodating in the Phoenix area and would be happy to share them. My boyfriend also has Celiac Disease (that is how I found out I had it) so we have some knowledge between the 2 of us :). HAHA I am 26 years old, love animals, yoga and cooking.

I know this was an old post, but was curious as to the places around Phoenix you've found to be accomodating - not Outback :) - I'm in Mesa - hubby has Celiac. Would love to learn more locations to eat. Have a few myself and could share as well if you dont already have them.

Hi everyone,

I've found some gluten free menus at Chilis, Pei Wei and Rubios...think On the Border has one too. I'm very new to gluten-free (~2 weeks).

p.s. anyone found a good place to get gluten-free foods? I'm not sure if my morning organic instant oatmeal is contaminated with gluten or not...would love to find a great place to shop.

I am in New River...yes this is in AZ. I am east of Anthem, further into the mountains.

I LOVE the new Whole Foods in Scottsdale. (Off the 101 and Scottsdale Rd.) They have an entire shelf for gluten free foods. There are also gluten free items throughout the entire store. Love the Chicken tenders and nuggets. Trader Joes has gluten-free tortillas. They are a little dry but still good.

Pai-wei has a good gluten-free menu. So does Z-Tehas, (think I spelled that wrong), Carraba's, Chilis, Outback, maybe the thing to say is that the only place I have found without a gluten-free menu, and trust me we are writing ALOT, is Red Lobster. All you have to do is ask, talk to the chef and they will make you what you want! You can't rely on the waiter, I did that once and was sick for a week.

The best place is Picazzo's. They have pizza to die for!! And dessert. They are located thru out the valley.

Any questions, please ask!!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
