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.

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
