Hi Ken! Welcome. You might want to check out the local hospital. That was recommended to me when I first was questioning what to do. I haven't checked any out yet, though since this forum has been so helpful. Also health food stores are a good source of info. Hope that helps! Why does your post say 'from Philadelphia?' I am sure they have alot in Philly.

I'm in Philly and used to be in Winchester. Hope you like it. It's probably going to be a change of pace. Great bar/restaurant in the pedestrian mall downtown with amazing tin ceiling. You'll love it.

Enjoy and Good luck.

Ken,

I'm in Winchester. There is a support group that meets at the hospital. But first - go to Harvest Moon (Vitamins Plus) - they're off Rt 11

Take Jubal Early past the Grand furniture store, then make a left at light onto 11 and see Harvest on your right - after going a few miles, past dealers etc - in a nice shopping center, see Talbots and Ann Taylor etc

You need to go there, if for no other reason, because of the supply of gluten-free goodies - but also, they can direct you to support groups etc

Robin was one of the people there who helped me.

Also, its a slight trek, but theres a Wegmans about 30 minutes south/east (sterling)

Hope you find your way to Harvest Moon and they are able to help you

good luck

best regards,

~Kirsten

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
