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

The group does meet on Higbie Lane in West Islip--if I can be of any help, email me at darlindeb25@aol.com --------Deb

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      Please read the original post--they are looking for a gluten and milk-free treat to replace Tootsie Rolls for their child who loves Tootsie Rolls, but can no longer have them due to a dairy issue--they are not looking for M&M's.

      They both do. The peanuts add nutrients to the treat. Tootsie Roll: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Condensed Skim Milk, Cocoa, Whey, Soy Lecithin, Artificial and Natural Flavors. M&M Peanut: milk chocolate (sugar, chocolate, skim milk, cocoa butter, lactose, milkfat, peanuts, soy lecithin, salt, natural flavor), peanuts, sugar, cornstarch; less...

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.
