Hi Mari-lyn,

I live in Wheatland Iowa. It's less than an hour from Anamosa. I am thinking that our family may start coming to your suport group. We believe that one of our daughters and myself have celiac but are waiting on confirmation. If you go to this group then you probably know my grandmother.....her name is Margrett. It turns out that my husband now has Thursdays off so maybe this will work out and it would give my grandparents and other family more of a chance to see there grandbabies. What all do you guys do during these meetings and how long do they last? Would we be required to bring something....at this point our kitchen is not gluten free and I would hate to make somebody sick....but with my grandmas help we plan to be gluten free soon.

Margaret and LaVern? Yes, we also go to church with them.

October we are meeting for a potluck on Thurs. Oct 19th at 6:30. Whole foods like fruits and vegetables are a great addition. One fellow is assigned lplain potato chips. The hospital provides a meat and we usually have lots of food.

Otherwise our meetings are the second Thursday of each month. Sometimes we take Dec. off. Starting at 1:00 they last about an hour - an hour and a half. No, we do not bring anything, though Margaret usuallly brings something to share and sometimes I make a sample of something that I might have found. But it is not a lunch.

That would be great! I haven't looked here in a few days...sorry for the delay.

Hope to meet you soon.

Marilyn

PS. If we have new members we share stories and introduce ourselves. Get caught up on any challanges from the previous month. Update with any new research....

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
