Where is the best place in the country to live if you have celiac disease? Some towns are better than others offering restaurants known to be friendly to celiacs and having health food shopping marts that offer extensive lines of gluten free products. Some towns and states are not known for their knowledge.

I would guess NYC...there are so many gluten free specialty places.

There are a couple places in AZ known for their gluten free pizza---thats enough to be good!

I would think Orlando, FL would be a pretty good place to live. They have all the normal Celiac standby's like Outback, Carraba's, P.F. Changs, plus they have Planet Hollywood (Celiac friendly) and all of the Disney stuff which is VERY Celiac friendly.

Nope. It's definitely Utah! :D We've got the U of U (which did a huge genetic study on celiac . . . which has now moved to UC Santa Barbara, I think), fabulous GIG support groups, and TONS of people who were diagnosed during the U of U study. Just before Halloween I overheard some people in the grocery store looking for "gluten free, chocolate free, peanut free" candy . . . and of course I stuck my oar in and helped them find some!

Of course, we don't have Disneyland . . . but there are gluten free cooking classes held at a Utah grocery chain all up and down the Wasatch front . . . and if that's not cool, what is?

Seattle has a number of places with gluten-free specific menus, including bakeries.

Los Anglese (and the whole surrounding area) had a fair number of options as well.

Utah's pretty good, as Betsy said.

But I have to say that every time I visit my family up in Portland, I get a bit homesick...and jealous. They've got all the stuff I have to buy at health food stores in the main grocery stores! I've seen gluten free menus in many restaurants, I've even visited a gluten-free candy shop! I feel like there's so much more awareness up in PDX...wish we had that down here in UT.

I used to live in Eugene and I think Oregon must be ground zero for organic food. :) I think there's a gluten-free pizza place out there, too.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
