JULY METROCELIACS MEETING!

Host: Jennifer Price and Tanya Davidson with the MetroCeliacs

Location: Days Inn

644 West Diversey Parkway, Chicago, IL

When: Wednesday, July 26, 6:30pm to 7:30pm

Happy Summer to Celiacs in Chicago!!!

We are very excited to welcome Lara Field, a registered dietician, to our July MetroCeliacs meeting. (This was rescheduled from June)

Do you have any questions about celiac disease or how to accurately follow the gluten free diet? Are there any myths that you would like to prove or dispel? Now that it is grilling season, do you want info regarding cooking on the grill and enjoying bbq sauce? What ingredients are in some of our favorite grilling items (brats? marinades?) that we need to be wary of, if any?

Now would be a great time to come and have your questions answered.

Please RSVP by July 24 by 5:00 to MetroCeliacs@yahoo.com. We are looking to have a larger group so Lara is able to come and help us all out. She is looking forward to answering any questions on ingredients, foods, preparations, living gluten-free...anything you can think of that you have always wondered and not had a forum to discuss. Please join us for this informative event.

INCLUDE YOUR QUESTIONS IN YOUR REPLY so that Lara can prepare accordingly.

As always, friends and family are welcome to join us, celiac or not! And feel free to bring Gluten Free snacks (please include an ingredient list for people with additional allergies). Water and coffee will be provided.

Thanks to Sherwyn's for sponsoring our group. Be sure to check out their ever-growing Gluten Free selection! Gail is always ready to stock suggestions we offer, so go shopping after the meeting or before. She is really great about responding to requests and her gluten-free section is fantastic! It is located across the street from the Days Inn, totally convenient!

The Days Inn is located on Diversey, at Clark & Broadway. It is easy to get to by bus (Clark 22 or Broadway 36) or train (brown line to Diversey and walk 4 blocks west). Parking is difficult. There are meters and a parking garage on Clark at the Century Mall.

We hope you can come. It should be a fun and informative meeting! If you have any additional things to ask us, please email us at MetroCeliacs@yahoo.com

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
