Anyone? Bueller?

And if there's anyone from LA, I was wondering if there was a good support group up there. The one in OC meets so infrequently that I've missed the one event they've had since I found out about them. :rolleyes:

Hello :)

I'm in LA. We had a meeting a few months ago. The first and only one so far, I think, lol - all of us from this site, so it was fun :)

There is celiac.org which is HQ in the Valley, and has periodic events (educational, eating, etc) and they have little offshoot regional groups in LA, so you may want to hook up with them.

PM me with your email or name or whatever, and if we have another meeting, we'll get you on the list ;-) I've been thinking of having a holiday party with all gluten-free foods, but not sure if I'll actually be able to pull it off (I HATE party planning, lol).

I'm from Orange County. LA is too far for me to go for meetings, but I'd be interested in finding out who else locally wants to share information.

I posted this, but it hasn't pinned yet, so I'm going to stick it in here.

For those in the Los Angeles area (Westside/Hollywood), esp those from our "mini" support group, I just found out about a massive CDF meeting in Marina Del Rey on the 26th of Feb. The invite list is like 63 people long. There will be food from gluten-free-friendly restaurants in the LA area, and recipe swapping.

If you would like to go, email me at elle871@yahoo.com and I will evite you to the email addy you send me.

I'm in the San Diego area... don't forget the big conference in L.A. on May 20th and the fundraising walk/art auction in San Diego the same day! I think they're listed on the calendar section of this site if you want details.

I'm from California too, the bay area though. I was looking for a support group as well, maybe for teens. You guys probably wouldn't know as much about the bay area though. LoL.

BUT I figured you guys might know about restaraunts...I'm going to L.A. in a few months and I was wondering how to go about finding info about restaraunts in L.A. online. i have HORRIBLE food sensitivities now, but im expecting to be better by then. Does anyone know of any restaraunts that I could go gluten-free in? I heard that L.A. has some great healthy restaraunts but I can't find a thing online!

      Ibuprofen

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I think I found a huge culprit for severe reactions to create worsening of my c symptoms. Do people with celiac have sensitivity and /or have opposite reaction to certain medications Where can I find a list ?  I'm new here I'm.wondering why I am getting worse when I take certain medicine...the burning feet.  Rebound muscle pain so intense  How many people get opposite effects or have a horrible attack after these meds

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Juliane · Posted

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…
