Does anyone know of any support groups in or near Charlotte, NC? If not, does anyone know where any good health food stores are here? I can't find any! :)

I haven't found any support groups here in Charlotte but I did want to let you guys know (in case someone from Charlotte reads this) that I found a really good health food store called Home Economist in Davidson, NC. They also have two more stores in Charlotte too. They are a very large health food grocery store and they have TONS of gluten free stuff. Super store!!! Just wanted to let you know! :)

Dang! I am about to move to Charlotte in a couple weeks, and was wondering the same thing.

Maybe we could start our own support group....

That's a good idea. I haven't met anyone around here that have our problem (mainly because I'm still trying to figure out how to contol it and am too wound up in that!) but I'm sure they're out there. I think it's just nice to actually meet someone in person that knows what I'm going through. I don't know how the PM thing works on this website but when I figure it out, I'll send you my email address and when you move here I could email you to help you learn your way around. Do you know people here?

I know my boyfriend, and his family, and that's about it!

I'm going to johnson and wales in the fall.

It would be really great to have a friend going through the same thing! I'm new to it, and kinda struggling, so it would be nice to have even just a shopping buddy! I'm kind of young (21) but promise, I'm cool :)

There is an active celiac support group in Charlotte. Here is their website:

Open Original Shared Link

Please note that Dr. Peter Green a well-known celiac expert will be speaking on May 13. Last year they had Ivor Hill speak and I went to hear him. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend Dr. Green's talk.

There's a triangle group as well, but I missed the last meeting due to transportation issues.

I was living in Charlotte, NC when I was diagnosed with celiac disease. The support group was a life-saver for me and they held meetings once a quarter. They were a great help and they were very informed of the current news about celiac. The two organizers while I was there were Daphne (704)366-3493 and Caroline (704) 588-6842. Good luck! I now live in Raleigh and the support group here is not very active. I sure miss the folks in Charlotte.

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.

      Juice shots? Anti inflammatory

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I avoid turmeric now because I'm on low dose aspirin, but used to use this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HYBN4DJ My recipes always vary according to what I have on hand, but my base is a frozen berry mix from Trader Joe's: https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/fruits-greens-smoothie-blend-075603 In the warmer months I include herbs from my garden like Italian parsley and basil. I add almond milk as well.

      Thank you! This is very helpful. Quick followup: what is your recommendation re: gluten-free prepared foods (labeled gluten-free or certified gluten-free) during this time of being more strict about eating gluten-free? Is it necessary to eat only whole foods prepared at home, or is it safe to include prepared / packaged foods in her diet (I'm thinking particularly of snack foods)?

      Is blending same as cold press? Is there any juice recipe you tried that you feel helped like the ginger turmeric? Is there a brand turmeric powder you used etc? I used Aloe vera years ago but the taste is hard to get down. What are your go to juices you made?
