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!!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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, 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!

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
