I don't know of any support groups there, but I've got a cousin who has Celiac in Fort Meyers. I'll ask her if she knows of a support group and then get back to you.

In the meantime, search the boards. There's lots of good information from people all over . . . isn't the internet great?

Abi -

I called my cousin today, and she told me that she never joined a support group, so she doesn't know of one in the area. She is going to check with her neighbor, who recently started a gluten free, casien free diet with her son, to see if she might know of one.

In the meantime, she told me that there's a store in Fort Meyers that has quite a large selection of gluten free foods. It's called Ada's. I hope that's helpful . . . and I'll post again after she talks to her neighbor. Good luck!

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      From the article I linked above: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) Blood Tests for Celiac Disease These tests measure the levels of antibodies in the blood, but specifically targets deamidated gliadin peptides, which are a type of gluten protein that can trigger an immune response in people with celiac disease. The test is not always included in adults, but should be in cases with IgA deficiency.  I'm not sure if this is a grammatical error or not but in the context, two tests are being spoken of together so it could be intended to say, "These tests". I'll ask Scott about that.
