I tried using the contact form on the Race website but it doesn't appear to work. Hoping someone might see this here....

 

I just heard about your race from the Chicago Tribune and am extremely sad to find out that we are gone this weekend and will not be able to attend. 
 
My daughter who is 9, was diagnosed about a year ago and is so sad and feels isolated because she is the only one at her school who has this decease. She would have loved to see and take part in this event to see she isn't alone :-( I have reached out to many "clubs/organizations" but it seems most have dissolved. I would love for her to be a part of something like this. 
 
My question is: are you planning on making this an annual thing? If so, can I get on a mailing list to be notified for next year? Also, if you even need volunteers I would love to help out. I actually sit on another walk committee for the last 10 years. I would love to help out anyway I can. I also work in Marketing and Social media so I have other skills too :-) 
 
Just let me know if you plan to have further events and if you need help organizing. 
 
BTW, great job Alex for taking an interest in your future! We need more people like you :-)

This is just a news article, it isn't directly from the race organizers. We have a service that finds articles related to Celiac Disease and posts them for us.

Have you looked at the website? It has a contact " form". It looked like it was working when I just looked at it. Maybe they have a FB page?

I tried the form on their website (Open Original Shared Link) but when I hit the submit button it tells me it is not working right now. I think the captcha thing is messed up. I would really like to get in touch with them but couldn't find any other way to do it. I was just hoping that someone on here would know someone.

If you don't have Facebook, maybe a friend could send them a message?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
