I am fairly new to being a celiac, also allergic to Dairy, Casein, and Eggs. Yeast is also on my list, but I am having a hard enough time cutting everything else out so I will still have some yeast here and there. Being german i just cannot go without bread :rolleyes:

Anybody out here in the San Rafael, CA (Marin County Area)? Any support groups? I have been trying to deal with this on my own but it's sometime just very hard. Got glutened again a few days ago, everytime that happens it would be nice to have a group to go to and just get some feedback or simply vent :D

Cheers,

Katja

I am also newly diagnosed with CS. I live in Rohnert Park about half hour from San Rafael. You can e/mail me if you would like. I have done pretty well my doctor says according to my test. my numbers are way down, and I feel better. Black circles under my eyes are going away. I have gained about 5 lbs. which is good, Ihave a really hard time gaining weight as others probably do too. I know that I still have a lot to learn.

Hello Katja - I am located in Mill Valley, and was diagnosed with Celiac about 9 years ago. I also love bread, and I have not yet found a Gluten-free bread that satisfies. I have just checked into a another site to find out if there are any support groups in Marin County. I will let you know what I find out. The Support groups for Celiac need to make themselves more visible, and accessible.

Blessings,

Lena

I'm in San Rafael and willing to host a mtg. but I'm brand, brand new. I've been trying to do it myself so it's too late to get tested. I feel better eating less gluten foods so I feel I must be celiac.

What do we need to start a mtg?

I thought there was a celiac yahoo group that focused on the north bay area, but didn't come up w/ the url.

There is Open Original Shared Link , which may be the one I was thinking of, which gets mentioned on Open Original Shared Link

Good luck :)

So far I haven't been able to get a return call about support groups. If and when I do, I'll post it.

I live in San Rafael and am trying to navigate the waters of the gluten free lifestyle and living with celiac disease. I am open to sharing any advice, recipes, tips and overall support.:)

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week.

      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Everyday I eat a medium to large apple in the morning and a large banana at night. I eat a cup of oatmeal in the evening. The ezekiel wheat bread I eat has a good amount of fiber. I haven't dealt with constipation for at least a year. Most of the time my feces are soft.
