Does anyone know of any support groups in New York City? I know there's one in Westchester and stuff that happens upstate but have not heard of anything in the city. Any information would be helpful.

I know there is quite a large support group in NYC, but unfortunately I don't know anything about it. Maybe look on Celiachicks and see if there is any info, or just Google NYC Celiac Support Group.

      Simple Mills and Made Good Foods Products May Contain Gluten Levels Above the FDA's Allowable Limit of 20 ppm

      I recently purchased Simple Mills crunchy almond flour chocolate chip cookies and chocolate chocolate chip cookies and had reactions to both. I learned of my gluten sensitivity 3 1/2 months ago and struggled with finding gluten-free foods but, with my husbands help, I have felt better than I have in many years. After eating these cookies my symptoms returned...

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      @Heatherisle, You have good reason to worry. Ask the doctors to do an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to test for Thiamine B1 deficiency. Thiamine deficiency is frequently found in B12 deficiency. Deficiencies in all the B vitamins are common with malabsorption due to Celiac disease. Thiamine can run out in as little as three days...

      @Heatherisle, You have good reason to worry.   Ask the doctors to do an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to test for Thiamine B1 deficiency.  Thiamine deficiency is frequently found in B12 deficiency.  Deficiencies in all the B vitamins are common with malabsorption due to Celiac disease.  Thiamine can run out in as little as three days.   Thiamine deficiency symptoms can be mistaken for other diseases such as MS and Guillian-Barre Syndrome.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms include pain in legs and abdominal pain as well as depression and gastrointestinal symptoms. Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B 12 together relieve nerve pain.

      Just an update on my daughter. She is still in hospital and getting quite depressed about everything. She had a CT scan of head and chest to rule out stroke in view of her symptoms. Thankfully there is no evidence of that so they now want to do an MRI to rule out MS so this is freaking her out and it’s not doing me much good either!!!They’re also going to do further blood tests to check vitamin levels. My husband and I are trying to reassure her the best we can that hopefully it’s just her body’s reaction to having the Vitamin B medication and it’s affecting her nervous system etc. Think the tingling has subsided but still having some lower back and pelvic pain and some leg pain. Thanks for reading and my apologies if I sound paranoid.
