Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone plans to go to this conference - - it looks like a really great day, lots of good speakers, etc. I definitely plan on going and wonder if anybody else wants to meet me there, in person!

Here's a link - - -

No- that's few years away. Let me see what I can finagle.

I just might go to this. Looks interesting and fun. Now, if I still have a job and don't have to have surgery around that time I'm set. :P

Oooh. A travel possibility that involves a chance to hobnob and eat with people in the know? An opportunity to connect voices and bodies with avatars? Hmmmmmm.

I've got a friend in Berkeley who's been asking me to come out....

Hey Susan:

I might be there. I have been 2 previous years. They have a really great lunch and lot's of samples of gluten-free foods.

Maybe those of us that are going can meet up somewhere?

I am going!! I'm actually brand new to all this, but I could not miss a chance to see/meet Danna Korn. I've spoken with her online a few times, and just to be around others who "get it" will be nice. Plus... I need a break from my kids. =)

Susan - Thanks for posting that. It looks very interesting. My sister is a doctor at Stanford. I could probably get her to come with me, except that she's having a baby at the end of August. Does anyone know if they have a conference every year?

Thanks Sally! I need to check my work schedule and see if I can get some time off. If not this year, next year for sure - and I'll drag my sis with me. She's suspicious that she may also be gluten intolerant.

This is really great, girls! I'm so excited about it. Yes, we must meet each other in person! Karen - maybe the baby will come early - or late - - ;) would be great if she could go. Can she get us discounts? I am so broke.... :huh: My late father went to Stanford, undergrad and graduate school, so I went to all the kooky football games....such memories. So I'm really excited that it's held there.

The more the merrier! Let's all GO! :rolleyes:

Unbelieveably, I'm in Kansas.... so it's going to be a big trip! My daughter and I are both newly dx as gluten intolerant. I'm not getting the answers and support that I would like, around here, so when I received the email about the conference, I told my dh that I felt it was my duty, as a parent, to go and educate myself by those who ARE educated on the subject. =)

I'm actually very excited, but nervous about traveling alone - and driving in California! =)

Well, here's a tip I can give you about travel. See if there is ANY way possible you can fly into the San Jose airport (about a 1/2 hour south of Palo Alto) instead of San FRancisco - - - that place, and driving out of there, is a freaking nightmare!!! And you don't want to start out your trip wtih a nervous breakdown... :blink:

I'm so excited for you, and we'll have to have an area where all of us from this forum meet up!

San Jose's the closest airport, but if you can't get a good flight there (don't see why that'd be a problem though), Oakland would probably be easier than San Francisco. I grew up in San Jose and used SFO before, so never really thought of it as a traffic nightmare, more than any other major airport, though. :-P

Yep, when I've been getting my quotes, I've been looking at San Jose rather than San Fran!! =)

I've got a decent quote, now I just have to wait for my paycheck at the end of the month!!!!

Oh yeah, Tiffany, totally forgot about Oakland.

I grew up in Fresno - and then lived the sleepy tourist burg of Monterey for many years - - driving in San Francisco has always, I believe every single time until the last few years, had me in tears..... :unsure: a total nightmare for the non-native! and jayhawk is from Kansas!!

lol... driving almost anywhere else makes me scream bloody murder at people who can't go over the speed limit, are too chicken to merge at freeway speeds, and let everyone and their brother move over before continuing on. :-) maybe just living in california is it's own "aggresive driving" course. :-P SF, itself, is definitely worse since it's SO dense. definitely avoiding SF (outside of public transportation) is probably a good idea, and doable in that area.

funny, I never think of Montery as sleepy or touristy... I suppose it is, but we'd go there for dinner once or twice a month. good seafood. :-)

Cool, all the way from Kansas! How cool! I'm pretty sure I'll be there, so getting together would be great! Besides, I have to meet the keeper of our wonderful dingos. :D I should go ahead and register now so that I will be SURE to go, lol.

LOL!!! Yep, I think you're on to something with the "aggressive driving" course. :lol: I will NOT drive in SF! :lol:

OH dear....I think I'm one of those (reformed) aggressive drivers.....17 - - that's right - - 17 speeding tickets in my driving history (not one for the last 10 years, though! :rolleyes: )....major tailgater...people hated me... :ph34r:

Yes, Donna, you must come!!! Wish I could bring the dingos....they'll be hanging at my best friend's house, in San Jose.

Oh Tiffany, try living in Monterey for 7 years....pretty sleepy and touristy - you just have to make your own fun and find lots of friends! did so much hiking there....Great places to eat, too, and I ate out many times per week....those were the days..... :)

OK, I'm from the KC Metro, so I've got the agressive driving thing down pretty well. Though, I'm sure I still don't rank up there at all with Californians! :blink:;)

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
