Hi, I live in Oklahoma. I was diagnosed celiac in Aug last year. There are absolutely no gluten-free restaurants that don't have cc and you cannot find any help for celiac disease in this state so I am learning on my own. Is there any way to start something in this state to get some info out on celiac disease? Most people don't even know about it, so they go undiagnosed or don't understand it, and if they have heard about it they don't seem to be able to get info on it. Is there like some place to get info brochures or something? That way I can get knowledge of this disease out there in this state?

This list is old, but there are some resources listed in Oklahoma. Please contact them and let me know if any are no longer valid:

 You also might want to contact Celiac.org, as they are a national support group.

You could start your own group as well, and you could ask them how to do this.

I will definitely call them and let you know. I will also contact and see how I can start a group. Thank you so much. Celiac disease, those who do know of it, is really misunderstood by a lot of people here as well. I'd love to get the info out.

Thank you so much for the advice!

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
