I just wanted to let anyone know who lives in MA that The Wine Shop of Reading now carries Ramapo Valley beer. It is right on Rte. 28 in Reading. I asked if they could start carrying it and they did.

So anyone in the area check it out!!

That would be great to meet up for dinner sometime..

Any suggestions??

Burlington sounds good to me.

I would love to meet some celiac sisters!! It is so hard when you are the only one in the family and in your group of friends that is gluten free. To have everyone at the table be gluten free would be awsome!!

I hope I didn't scare anyone off with my great enthusiasm!!

I am not afraid! :P

Okay so here goes...first gluten-free beer ever is in my hand, and I'm about to take the first sip...

I'm nervous as all hell because I LOVED beer prior to my dx. And I'm not talking Bud Light -

I specifically loved IPA's because of their tasty hops...I see the word "lager" on the Ramapo bottle -

SCARY - never did like lagers...but...here goes...

well, as I suspected it's sweet <_< - especially the aftertaste

I'm not sure how I feel about it...guess I'll have to drink this one and have another just to make sure how I feel! :lol:

Alright guys just tell me where to be and when -

France, why don't you tell us what a good time for you is and perhaps we can schedule it for then!

I wish I could get it in my area, would be nice on a hot day and a BBQ :D

Are you drinking on the job over there? ;)

My schedule is pretty free...not much on the agenda during the week after work...

So I am very flexible!

Oh the burlington mall is only 20mins away from me. I would love to come too, anyone has a suggestion for the day or time?

HA! No, No...not sure why I said I posted at 2:30 or whatever, but I was at home and it was near 7.

Although a liquid lunch is not unheard of at times.... :)

How about next Friday, the 12th, after work, say around 6 for those of us that are nearby and others can filter in as they arrive? I really, really hate the Outback - I think their food is dreadful but I can always make do. Someone said there is also a legal Seafoods around? Does everyone like seafood?

I do think we should make reservations, yes? So...let's see what everyone thinks!

Guest BERNESES

I like the Ramapo because it's BEER, but it's a little too sweet. I like amber beers like Red tail and I love Once in a Blue Moon Pumpkin ale, Sierra Nevada. i have to say Bard's Tale was the BEST- not just a good gluten-free beer, but a good beer. Period.

Legal wouold be great. I have $100 in gift certificates to Legal because the one in Peabody screwed me up. But i've never had problems with Burlington so some of dinner is on me! Plus, the malls up here in NH stink so Burlington is always a good excuse for me to go on a Sephora splurge. I'm pretty flexible. Next wweek, Monday night is out because I teach but I think I'm pretty open Tuesday-Thursday. The week after that i'm having my gall bladder out so I'd have to wait until after the 23rd.

Let me know what you guys think? It'd be fun!

Next friday the 12th around 6 should work for me. the Outback is OK but I do have the $100 towards Legal which i would LOVE to share with me celiac sisters. :)

I know I said I was flexible...but I actually have plans Thursday and Friday the 11th and 12th..

Honestly, I am usually at home on my brown couch everynight after work! ;)

If the 12th works for all of you...hopefully we can do this again...

Maybe try to do it once a month!

francelajoie Explorer

OK, so Burlington Legal Seafoods Friday May 12th at 6:00?

Is that good with everybody?

I will make it for sure...just will leave my work (if you want to call it work) early.

Oh I see one can't make it...how about the 19th?

Ok, thats 2

19th works for me!

Ok, you guys are really going to hate me now! I did not want to have to say it, but I have a colonoscopy the morning of the 19th...not that it matters what we say to fellow celiacs when it comes to our health problems! So I won't be in work and won't be able to drive that whole day...

Can we do something the following week? From Berneses post, the 19th will be bad for her as well...

So maybe we can do something on Wed the 24th or Thurs the 25th(that Friday will be the start of Memorial weekend, so prob not a good time for anyone to meet up)...

Or you gals can all meet up on the 12th, as that works for everyone else and then we can try something for the four of us in June...

I might have to reneg that comment about being flexible! ;)

Sorry again for being a pain!

Guest BERNESES

yeah- I'm down from the 17th to the 24th- gall bladder removal. Blech! But you guys go ahead and then we'll make plans for later.

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.
    • numike
      Thank you for the reply In the early 2000's I did not have the endoscopy nor the biopsy I do not have those initial records I have only consulted a GI drs in the USA 
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?

      Check out this celiac story  I was diagnosed early 2000s with the blood test  since then I have for the most part maintained a gluten-free diet  Recently (August 2025) I drove from Southern Illinois to Lake Erie Ohio On the drive back I was extremely hungry and I had a coupon at a hamburger chain and I stopped and forgot to request gluten-free bun etc and quickly consumed two hamburgers. I promptly ate both of them and had absolutely no problem since then I've been eating plenty of gluten  Is my celiac gone?  Insert: No, celiac disease cannot just end because there is no cure for it; however, a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet allows the small intestine to heal and symptoms to go away. To manage the condition effectively, you must strictly avoid all sources of gluten, including wheat, barley, and rye, which are common in the American diet. Sticking to the diet can lead to significant symptom improvement and intestinal healing, but it requires ongoing commitment and monitoring with a healthcare professional  Regarding medical test I had My stools analyzed Giardia Ag Cryptosporidium Ag and they came back negative  I had the lactulose test and it came back high so I'm on two weeks of heavy antibiotics That still has not stopped me from eating gluten. Here's what I think is going on and I hope to have your opinion regarding it  Since I've been gluten-free for so long my intestinal tract has repaired itself consequently anything I eat with gluten now just bounces right off with no damage to my gut  however  when I asked AI what was going on the reply was celiac has not gone away and  if I continue to eat gluten I'm going to have problems   I look forward to your sage advice as to what the heck is going on with me Thank you for reading Mike 09112025

      I agree, and generally it means that it isn't working in a high enough percentage of participants to continue pursuing it.
