Hey neighbor!

I had to look on the map. It looks like Little Rock is about half way between us. I have only been there once when the babe had to go to children's hospital.

Weird, but somehow finding someone close by (who is freindly and understands this stuff) kinda warms the heart.

I hope to hear more from you. :D

Sounds great. Isn't there a support group in Norman? I talked to a lady from there when I first found out about celiac disease. I need to give her another call too. Maybe you know her. I'll find her name.

Hi Everyone, I live in Cookson on Lake Tenkiller which is in in NE Oklahoma. I just found a support group that meets in Tulsa at St. Francis Hospital and hope to attend one of their meetings soon...I really want to find someone to just talk to about food, recipes and living thru this that will not be critical or just think I am nuts...I am going to post a note on our local health food store in Tahlequah to see if there might be any other Celiacs here. So happy to see there are others from OK...lets keep in touch... Do I sound desperate?? I feel desperate, I was just dx a little over 2 weeks ago and I am really rather overwhelmed.

I'm from Lawton in Southwest Oklahoma. I haven't been diagnosed with celiac but I know from hard experience that if I eat anything with gluten in it I have a bad reaction so my husband and I have been on a gluten free diet since the middle of October. Exept, yesterday. Yesterday I ate a piece of cake that was not gluten free and I am still paying for it.

I'm only about an hour from Lawton - in Norman. There's a fantastic OKC Celiac group that meets bimonthly. It'd be about 1-1/2 hours drive each way for you, but I think it would be worth it.

Great! I may look into it. Thanks for telling me about it.

Good morning, I was just looking around and found this. I just registered. I was raised in Ok and go there all the time as I have a daughter who lives in Edmond and goes to OC. I have a lot of family that are still in OK. I actually live in Texas panhandle but still consider myself an Okie.

I just found out about this site through my People magazine, but have had celiac since I was born, but was diagnosed when I was about two years old. I am not 26 years old and living a healthy and wonderful life in Tulsa. Would love to talk with others or answer any questions for those that have questions about Celiac.

Hi, I am new to the site and have a daughter, 6, that I need to get tested and don't know where to start. We have had an upper IG and her Dr. swore that she had celiac but it came back normal (with live villi) so her Dr. is stumpped. Could you help?

I live in Lawton. We're originally from Houston, but have been stationed here most of my husband's career. My 2 kids and I are gluten-free.

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      i am australian. we do have plenty of substitutes, but most are very expensive compared to the originals. i believe i'll just stick to home cooked meals and not have many treats at all. it's sad but it's just so much easier. also, ive heard far too many horror stories of people ordering gluten free food from restaurants and cafés, explicitly telling servers and kitchen staff that cross contamination is a strict no go, and they still get very sick. until i find a reasonably priced fully gluten free kitchen somewhere, i am not eating out for my safety and sanity.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.
