Hello,

I have recently been diagnosed with celiac disease and have been on a gluten-free diet for 6 days now! I have been in contact with some dieticians in our local area and in Louisville for help with questions I have.

I am also interested in knowing if there is a support group in Lexington, KY and if not, would anyone be interested in working together to start one at some point. My GI doctor did not know of any support group in Lexington and did know of one in Louisville, KY.

Learning day by day......!

I live in Georgetown and have recently contacted the dietician at Good Foods Market. She will help in our quest to get a support group started. I will take some information blanks there tomorrow requesting name, phone, email, etc. and I will form a data base with the others I already know in the Lexington and Georgetown area. I will try to get the names together so we might be able to meet together in March sometime, as I will be unable to meet most of Feb. Let me know your email and you can email me at falwell@cablelynx.com Hope to hear from you. Jan

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Lysine is helpful for "cold sores" (oral herpes).

      @Wheatwacked, Are you aware of the interaction of potassium iodide and losartan ?   https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/iodine-potassium-iodide-with-losartan-1368-0-1489-0.html#:~:text=Talk to your doctor before,to safely use both medications.

      As a life.long celiac, I understand this.  I simply ask that the medical profession stop disregarding the fact that it should remain a concern for some. It cost me a lot of medical discomforts.

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.
