Would love to find a few fellow celiacs to navigate the DC food scene with me. Maybe a monthly dinner group? Write me!

Hey, we live in Fairfax, VA and I am trying to find some fellow dinners, if you will....let me tell you, I have not even been officially diagnosed yet, however I have learned so much so far about allergies. It is difficult because we use to eat out almost every day.....so it is a change to say the least. I would love to chat.

I live in Burke, VA. New to all of this. I spent the weekend looking for gluten-free stuff at local stores. Wegmans seemed to have the most friendly labeling but I haven't tried any of it.

Did you guys get a dinner group going? I live in Laurel. I was diagnosed just a few weeks ago. The support group in Annapolis sometimes does lunch together, but I don't think I've heard about a local group getting together for dinner.

I live in Falls Church, VA and was diagnosed two years ago after having three blood tests done with celiac disease. I stayed in denial for a very long time and keep eating what I wanted to eat, including pizza, hot dogs (the buns) etc. Eventually just got tired of the pain in my joints, gut, discomfort, sadness etc, so about a month ago I completley stopped eating anything with wheat rye or barley. I feel so much better now, and I am off the meds now the doctor was giving for the pain I was experencing and that is wonderful. Me and my fiance (she has IBS) are always looking for restrurants that we can go to in the area, places to buy gluten free stuff etc. so I wanted to send you a quick hello, because I would very much want to meet/talk to others in the area that have gluten intolerance as I do. With this diet we need all the group support we can get. I wish there was some kind of meeting every week/month that people in the area could attend. Hope to talk to you soon!
