Generation gluten-free of Dallas


Ennis-TX

Recommended Posts

Ennis-TX Grand Master

A recent chapter of Generation gluten-free started up in Dallas, Here is a info thing from their site and a link to their FB group.

Generation gluten-free, a program of the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG), is designed to build confidence in kids, teens, and young adults, and help develop them into the future leaders of our gluten-free community. Our goal is to provide safe environments where kids don’t have to worry about what they are going to eat and can just enjoy the fun that comes with being a kid. We want to provide families with a resource through which they can have their questions answered and where they can feel more involved with others in their community. Most importantly, we want to create a program that all age groups will embrace and feel happy to say that they are members of Generation gluten-free.

Generation gluten-free Groups around the nation have curriculums designed especially for kids, teens, and young adults, addressing the needs and challenges that they face in their every day lives. These groups are using fundraisers, special events, and family nights to raise awareness and promote the gluten-free lifestyle to their communities. We will be building on this support foundation and expanding our outreach even more through the creation of leadership opportunities, adult mentorships, and gluten-free education to our schools.

In addition, Generation gluten-free will be working with summer camps across the nation to provide gluten-free kids the chance to have a week of adventure without thinking about the safety of their food. Be sure to visit our Camp page to find out more about these opportunities and to learn more about the possibility of obtaining a camp scholarship from GIG.

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
