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.:)

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      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...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
