Welcome Jennifer:

You have just found the most wonderful support group.

Many people on this site have been dealing with Celiac their whole life and many others are new to it such as yourself.

Just about everything you will need to know can be found here. Questions are always welcome.

My first suggestions for you is to read the posts on this site. Learn as much as you can from that and ask questions.

If you need suggestions to get started on the diet....it will be posted shortly.

Hi Jennifer! Welcome to the board :)

Here is a recent thread talking about support groups in Philadelphia.

Open Original Shared Link

Hope that helps a little--at least it's a starting point! You can always come on here and talk to us--there are lots of very nice people here who have been where you are and would be more than happy to help you out--feel free to ask anything!

I'm in south Jersey--Burlington County :D

Jennifer,

Welcome to the board! I am happy you have found us---it is great that you found this site so early on. :)

Also, the parent site to this forum, celiac.com, is full of articles, lists of ingredients, faqs, and all kinds of great info to "get you started." I still refer back to it regularly. Also, my favorite celiac book is by Dr. Peter Green "Celiac Disease: A hidden epidemic"---I highly recommend it. It was just recently published and I wish I had it when I was first dx'ed---it covers SO many things.

Let us know what we can do to help :D

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @cristiana Hi, thank you so much, I will look into those books for sure! And get bloodwork at my next appointment. I have never been told I have TMJ, but I have seen information on it and the nerve issue while googling this devil plague in my mouth. Thank you so much for the advice!

      gluten free cookie recipes

      I know it's after the holidays, but it would still be fun to do a cookie recipe exchange on this forum.

      No red meat

      I did talk to the nurse and she asked who told me no red meat. I explained the person who called with the results of my blood work. That was last week. She told me the doctor was on vacation and would be back this week and she would talk to him and have someone call me this week. I have not received a call yet. I will call them back Monday as a reminder...

      Peanut Butter cookies - on the crisp side.   approx 20 smallish cookies  1 C  plus 2 tblsp rounded. 'natural' peanut butter ( the kind you have to stir to blend the PB & oils)....  I know, it's a pain!! 1/2 c granulated sugar ....plus 2 tblsp dark brown sugar 1/4 c olive oil... plus 1 tblsp 1 large egg .....and 1 tsp vanilla 2 tsp cinnamon - optional but is yummy with the PB mix the above.  In another bowl mix the following dry ingredients: 1 cup brown rice flour  ( I use this  flour as it leaves no yucky after taste in my cookies & lb cakes..... and coffee cake, I buy it at the "Bulk Barn" here in Canada....... states side try health food stores??? I'm not sure where you can buy bulk food that also carries gluten free flours. 1/2 tsp baking soda.....1/4 tsp salt   (I use the pink sea salt) Mix well or sift, then mix with wet ingredients. heat oven to 350f, line baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll about 2 tblsp dough between your hands, place on cookie sheet and press down  with a fork.   The flatter the cookie the crispier it is.     Bake 13-14 min  When done leave on baking sheet till cool. Cheers, Florence
