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?

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
