Idea - How About A gluten-free Convention

Recommended Posts

Well I was thinking if we did it in DC (free museums you know) we could march on the mall and get some news coverage for our cause but I guess we can try and get the coverage no matter where were are. Now is it Maryland everyone is thinking about now? Sorry I'm confused after skimming the posts so fast.

I just read this thread too... I would be in also. I would do whatever I can to help. I would hope to have it something within a drive of my state, like previously mentioned Washington DC or something. Keep this idea going, I am in!!!!

I have a question, is everyone trying to meet at an existing convention like the University of Baltimore or trying to create a new convention? Who would organize it?

I just saw this thread...and thought it would be AWESOME!!

In my area, in August, they are having a gluten-free picnic, sponsored by the Cel Kids network, for all the little gluten-free kids in the area. I was told that last year, companies came out of the woodwork to donate stuff and that all families in attendance went home with a huge bag full of products.

It would be awesome to have that type of "convention" -- food, families, and fun. In a safe environment for those who are touched by Celiac and Gluten Intolerance. I'd SO be there if I had ample opportunity to plan for it!

Count me in, wherever, I'll be there!

I'm new to all this, but wondered about getting Annalise Roberts involved ...good promotion for her cookbook, maybe contacting OSI Restaurant Partners, Inc. for sponsorship. Most of their restaurants have gluten free menus on their websites. Again, great exposure for them.

From OSI's site:

Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, it was founded in 1988 and today operates 931 Outback Steakhouses (domestic and international), 209 Carrabba's Italian Grills, 108 Bonefish Grills, 41 Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bars, 22 Roy's, 35 Cheeseburger in Paradises and four Lee Roy Selmon's restaurants. The company has restaurants in all 50 states, and Outback Steakhouse restaurants are open in 21 countries.

(I'm so excited to know about all their chains! I knew about Outback and Bonefish, but didn't know Carrabba's and Fleming's. Yum!, Memphis has these!)

I realize this is late but it gives information about a gluten free convention that happens annually. They go to different cities each year but here is the itinerary and contact info for the next year. I was invited to attend with a friend, but was unable to attend this year.

      Thank you knitty kitty!!  I appreciate your help and knowledge!
    • knitty kitty
      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And... Celiac disease and risk of microscopic colitis: A nationwide population-based matched cohort study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36939488/

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding ideas please?
    • K6315
      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.
