Hi,

I am orginally from Ellwood City Pa which is 30 miles north of Pittsburgh, moved to Ohio a year ago. Just have been diagnosed with celiac a month ago. Looking for some support groups and conferences around the area, along with people to talk to. When is the Columbus conference?

I live in Butler so we were fairly close. I go to the vet in Ellwood City monthly-- for my pets of course....

The conference is 11-4-06 $30.00 if you register before 9-22-06 .Where do you live in Ohio?there is a raisin rack store in Canton & columbus. great store a wide selection I call it a gluten-free haven........

A great cookbook is from from Annalise Roberts called gluten-free baking classics. it is the very best........

There a many mainstream foods you can use off the store shelf. Progresso portbella mushroom soup, the onion soup, the chicken corn chowder. Amy's tomato bisque soup is wonderful.The best pasta I've found is BiAglut, next is tinkyada. the firstone is like the real deal.Glutino pretzels are better then the real ones .If you have a store near you that carry Bell & Evans stuff they now have a gluten-free chicken nugget -black box. I do alot by mailorder.

there is alot to buy at the conference.If you go to the post on Columbus conference it will give you info. several of us have posted about it....

if there is anything in particular you need to know just ask & I'll try to answer the ?

I'M NOT A CELIAC, BUT I AM HERE FOR MY FRIEND, WE LIVE IN NE OH NEAR THE PA BORDER, ABOUT A HALF HOUR FROM ELLWOOD CITY. SHE WAS DIAGNOSED ALMOST A WEEK AGO, I'VE BEEN IN HERE FOR A FEW DAYS SEARCHING FOR INFORMATION FOR HER AND BUGGING FOLKS WITH ANOYING QUESTIONS. BUT I FIGURE, THE MORE I KNOW, THE EASIER IT WILL BE FOR ME TO HELP HER. I'VE BEEN TAKING NOTES, I KNOW IT SOUNDS REDICULOUS, BUT THIS IS NEW FOR US, AND I'M AFRAID I MAY FORGET STUFF. ALTHOUGH I THINK I KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS THAN HER DOCTORS DO.

welcome to the group... Yes, you probably do know more than most doctors as most of them are clueless about celiacs........You will learn loads from this great group of people. I truly think Doctors should join here so they can learn......

Keep in mind the Columbus Conference on Nov.4 2006. It's a great way to meet others and it is really a good conference for the $35.00 per person. Plus you can buy terrific gluten-free foods there. I stock up for the winter because here in Butler there is not much choice.

If I can help you both in any way please feel free to pm anytime.

Let me know if you can make the conference.......

Mamaw - thanks for the tip on the Columbus conference - this is the first I have heard of it. I have not logged onto this board routinely for a while. I am about 2 hours from Columbus - that is where my GI doc is. I will look for the thread on the conference - I will more than likely go if I can work it into my work and school schedules.

thanks again!

Mamaw - I checked my calendar and saw that this conference is on a Saturday. I have class every Sat. until Dec. 16. But, I am very tempted to skip to go to this. My oldest son is a senior in High School, and he has to do a "senior project". He has decided to do it on Celiac Disease, so I think going to this conference would not only be good for me, but also good in helping him become more educated on the disease.

If I decide to go I will definitely let you all know - I would love to meet other people living with the disease. I have yet to meet anyone who really understands.........

Thanks!

Hello Stinger,

Sorry I haven't replied sooner. That is great you want to be supportive of your friend. Any questions you may have I will try to answer the best I can. I have been doing this for a little over a month and seen tremendous improvements in my health. I will help you out as much as I can. Take care.

Hi Everyone.

The Columbus Conference is wonderful. I will be there as well, as we are every year. My family and I have a gluten-free food company, 1-2-3 Gluten Free, and we'll have a table again. Please feel free to stop by and introduce yourselves. I've had celiac for over 7 years and am happy to answer any questions for you. Please feel free to PM me as well.

Sounds like you are very close. I live by Cranberry. I have had celiac disease for 8 years but have never been to a celiac disease conference. This would be good for me to do. Nice to meet you.

Hey, I'm just 20 minutes South of Cranberry! And I see Mamaw's on--she's in BUtler, that's practically next door to you!

Hi 3blessed

Can you go to the Columbus Conference? If you are planning be sure to register very quickly as it fills up fairly fast......I'm in Cranberry at least once a week.....

Do you attend the Pittsburgh celiac meetings? I don't because they are always in S. Hills ..... I think its time we start a small group get-to-gether in Cranberry.It doesn't have to be official but it's nice to get to know others who are in the same boat.....

I'm guessing I would be the oldest one but I'm young at heart.....

Feel free to e-mail me anytime.

thanks for the thought!!!! But I guess no matter how you cut it I'm still older.... life is a journey & I'm still running so I'm okay with being older...................... I always tell my kids they are the ones that are getting older...... My Mother is gonna be 86 & looks so young so I'm hoping I too can reach that age in good or fairly good health........

I would love to have a celiac disease group in cranberry.

Just not sure about the conference. I wish I would have known about it sooner. How far is it?

What local dr.s do you use?

The mileage to Columbus is about 220 & about 3 1/2 hrs from Butler.

There is a get to gether planned at Sunnybridge, McMurray Pa for Nov.11.06, you must call to register. It is not a conference or anything like one. Gina who is the owner has samples of gluten-free foods she's made & of course she hopes for big sales that day. If you have a note from a doctor they give discounts when stuff is not on sale.

The conference is worth the trip esp. if you are new to the disease..plus the foods you can purchase & then the big Raisin Rack Store ( which I love). it's a gluten-free haven......

If you have any ????'s please feel free to e-mail or pm me . I have sampled & taste tested many products...

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.
