Hi everyone!

I am hereby inviting everyone and anyone on these boards for a gluten-free get together.

I realize that it is just not that easy, but I feel as though there have been a lot of discouraged posters lately.

Let's cheer up, get together, and have some fun.

Depending on numbers is what I will plan.

I live in Niagara Falls, Canada - and am planning for a weekend in November.

Please PM me if you are interested!

RSVP as soon as possible!

Hi Lorka 150

This sounds like a really great idea!! It is really nice of you to offer to handle it all. I'm afraid that Maryland is too far to travel from, or I'd be there with bells on.

I hope the party works out. Have a great time :)

That is so sweet :D I would love to if I am ever in that area..I live in Maryland as well so I know that will not be possible anytime soon.

That sounds great! It would take me about 3 to 4 hours each way to drive to Niagara falls (depending on traffic), but it would be worth it. I have two weekends free in November, the weekend of the 12th and 13th, and the 19th and 20th. I hope that others will be interested as well, so it will work out, and that one of those weekends works for you and others.

I could probably stay over night at a friend's house in Cambridge on my way back, so I don't have to do it all in one day (I still haven't got much energy).

Thanks for inviting us.

I'd be interested, if I wasn't all the way across the country, and busy as a bee in November! But that's a GREAT! idea, and I hope it goes well!

Great idea and so kind of you!

Unfortunately, Niagara Falls is way too far from the UK, so I'll have to decline, but I wish you well for the party. Let us all know how it goes.

Nikki :D

Oh, I wish I could, I'm only about 3 hours away but traveling is still a big trial for me. My ex-husband and I (legally seperated 15 years no divorce) are celebrating out 20th anniversary next week and I am nervous as hell about just driving 45 min. to Rochester for a coin show. I work on the celiac induced agorophobia issue daily so maybe if you do this again in the spring I can come. I would love to see Niagra Falls again and would love even more to be able to make freinds, something I haven't had since soon after I got sick. Thanks for the suggestion really, really, really wish I could.

I'm already driving up there next Saturday for a week. But you guys already know about that. So when I'm there from November 5th to 11th I won't come up another weekend. At the moment we try to get together one of the days I'm up there. We're talking about somewhere West of Toronto at the moment. And the offer's still there, that we all could meet. But it's still sweet, that you planned this.

Greetings, Stef

It's a great idea but bad time of year for me expensive plane fares etc., but maybe plan something for late spring somewhere. I am in Alberta.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      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/
