Ms SS--Darn, if I lived in Florida, I would join your club! We could meet on Sunday nights--around 7:30 and then stick around and have a Sopranos party afterwards :D

Really--good luck with it!

I'm from South East Florida. I believe me and my mom might start one someday. We would form one right away but for now my mom is busy taking care of my papa who has a brain tumor.

So I know there's one In Boca you could go to, I would go to it if it weren't so far away.

Didn't you go to the doctor? Hope it went well. I would go to your group but too far away. Have you ever looked into the SCD? LL

My parents live in Miami Shores, but I live in PA. Let me know if you start a group in Miami because I'd like to attend when I go home to visit them in the summer and over holidays.

Does anyone have a list or suggestions of places to eat in and around the Boca area? I'm heading down there in March or April to visit my mom, and I've googled for suggestions, but can't find any. Other then the typical PF Changs or Outback, anyone have any suggestions? Thanks so much!

Legal Seafood at Town Center Mall has a gluten Free menu. There is a new pizza place in Deerfield beach, called Pizza Fusion that has gluten free pizza. Another Pizza Fusion will be opening in Boca, Powerline and Palmetto in April. If you bring your own pasta to Sweet Tomatoes, they will make it for you, but if you are highly sensitive, I would be careful.

I'm heading down there in April to visit my mom in Boca area. I hope the new Pizza Fusion is open by then, as I eager to try it!!! If not, we're driving to Deerfield.

Definitely visit Pizza Fusion!! I was in South FL visiting family over the holidays and took my dd there for pizza! She loved it and even got a brownie too! One word of warning, though... give them a call before you go there because they need a little notice for the gluten-free crust.

We will be coming to Florida in April07. Disney for a week then we will go down the East coast. First stop is Junipter, hopefully the guys can get out on a head boat to do some fishing. Then I ask that we stop to try Pizza Fusion. I sure hope it is worth the stop over.Then we are going over 75 to the gulf side. Stopping in Port Charlotte, then onto to Palmetto.If anyone knows any good eating places on this route,Please let me know.

Oh yeah, fishing head boats too???? I forgot we want to stop at Cape Canaveral.

If there are any good gluten-free shopping on our route please fiil us in on that too. I'm always on the look-out for new gluten-free foods that will knock our socks off... I don't get that where I live......

thanks

The Southeast Chapter (CSA affiliated) meets too far south for me as I'm in northern Palm Beach County. The Palm Beach County Chapter (CDF affiliated) meets in the Delray area - again, too far away for me, especially during the work week.

I'd love to have a support group in the northern part of the county; anybody out there want to get involved?

I too am in South FL (Miami) and was recently diagnosed with Celiac. I have done numerous searches on the internet and have found nothing available in this area as well. My search is continuing and I will let you know if I find something!!!

I live in Boynton Beach and am a Celiac. I do go to school in Connecticut but I am here on breaks and would be interested in interacting with other Celiacs.

I am possibly moving to Pembroke Pines area in August and would be interested in meeting some others. Is there a WF nearby that has a monthly meeting?

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By NanCel · Posted

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/
