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 - - -

Anybody want to fly out? I have a really cozy guest room with your own private bath! And two dingos... :)

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:;)

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
