Hi! I'm new to your site. I'm looking for support groups in the NY metro area (preferably Long Island). I'm a recently rediagnosed celiac. I was about three when I first began living on bananas and rice. I have lots of questions. Anyone willing to help?

Thanks, BonLI

I live in Manhattan, and I don't have any answers for you as I am just learning about this now and not done with the whole testing process yet. But I'm interested to know too, so I'm going to keep an eye on this post!

I'm on LI Too and looking for a support group... Is there contact information? I believe I was in contact with someone back in July, but then never heard back from them... ;)

I'm just over the bridge from you in NJ. Just over the Arthur Kill. I know of a support group in East Brunswick, but I just stick with online groups...easier than being stuck in traffic, and made some great friends this way.

I am in Westchester. I don't know of any groups in LI. I mainly stick to online but have found the Westchester Celiac Group holds a lot of events and may start to get involved with them. There is a meeting at Whole Foods tonight that I want to attend.

HI,

JUST THOUGHT I WOULD OFFER A SUGGESTION. IF YOU GO TO MEETUPS, ON CELIAC. YOU WILL SEE A GROUP. I DO NOT KNOW THE ACTUAL WEBSITE. BUT I CAN FOWARD YOU AN EMAIL FROM THEM IF YOU WOULD LIKE. I HAVE NOT YET BEEN, B UT THEIR MEETINGS ARE MONTHLY AT DIFF RESTAURANTS. AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT MUST BE FUN.

ANYWAYS LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED MORE INFO. IN ANY CASE I WOULD LOVE TO BE IN TOUCH WITH MORE CELIACS AS WELL. I FEEL LIKE A LONER, NOONE IN MY FAMILY BUT MYSELF, AND IT IS SO REPETITIVE TELLING PEOPLE WHAT CELIAC IS, AS I AM SURE YOU CAN RELATE.

BE WELL, LAURIE

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
