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....

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
