Hi,

I don't know about in Corvallis, but Portland has loads of stuff...great places to get a gluten-free meal and /or food products. I am sure there is stuff available down there, but I suggest going to the local health food store and asking them...they might be able to hook you up with a support group.

I am in Eugene and there are a few wonderful places down here. Sweet Life has gluten-free brownies and other pastries. Capella Market carries tons of Kinnikinnik products. Market of Choice also carries many gluten-free free products. There are tons of options in Eugene.

I was also hoping there would be a support group down here but I e-mailed the person that I found online and I never got a response. I think that they haven't met for several years. Good Luck!

I am in the Portland/Hillsboro Oregon area. Still trying to figure out this whole gluten free thing.

Two grand girls 2 and 5 gluten free, would like to swap a tiny bit of babysitting in a gluten free home....I do housekeeping for a living.....would also like to find other kids my grand girls could play with when I have them every other weekend.

Hey Jerry, so am I. I'm in Beaverton and just started trying to figure out the gluten-free life this fall. I haven't tried any restaurants yet but I want to try Corbett's Fish House over in the Cedar Hills mall area (I think). I hear it's good.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
