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.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
