Hi.....our family has just gone gluten free. I have learned an increadable amount of stuff from this website but thought it would be nice for our girls to meet some people outside of the family who eat like they do. Some of our extended family our also celiacs but we only see them a few times a year. I also could use some advice finding gluten free foods in the area.

I live in Bettendorf and teach aerobics at Gold's Gym. I'm really want to start a new support group here. gigQC(gluten intolerance group of the quad cities) I have a friend who has a 3 year old little girl and a 2 year old little boy who are both gluten intolerant. We also want to raise awareness in the area. My boss' husband and daughter are both gluten intolerant w/ two confirmed Celiacs in their extended family. Let me know if you have a supportive doctor around here who knows a lot about gluten intolerance/Celiac. None of us have had much luck. We want to organize a Celiac awareness 5K for next summer. Feel free to send me an email at john.resnick@mchsi.com. As for gluten free foods, Hyvee Health Market is good. Get ready to triple your grocery budget though. We are now having to eliminate dairy as well. I'd love to know more about your story and I could share mine. Great to see someone from the area!! Feel free to email my personal address. Thanks!

Hi,

I am the leader of the Quad City Celiac Support Group. Our group provides support and information to those who are on a gluten-free diet. Our group meets every other month with our next meeting being held on Tuesday, November 21 @7pm. We meet at Genesis West Medical Center in Davenport. I would like to invite you and your family to our November meeting. At our meetings we share any latest information on Celiac Disease and the gluten-free diet, gluten-free food tips, recipes, reviews, restaurant information, and much more. I would be happy to try to answer any questions/concerns you might have just email me. I can mail you a packet of helpful information about the gluten-free diet, recipes, baking tips, restaurant information, etc.

Send me a personal email with your mailing address and I will get that out to you. I look forward to hearing from you. You can go to our group's webpage at: www.qcceliacs.org

my email address is: wentworth@netexpress.net

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      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.

      Celiac getting dentures

      @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.
