Hello all! I'm looking for people in the North Shore area of SouthEastern Louisiana. The following parishes are welcome: St. Tammany (where meetings will mostly be held), Tangiphoa, Washington, Livingston, Pearl River County, MS and other surrounding parishes of Louisiana and MS. Most meetings will be held in St. Tammany as that is where all current members live thus far but other arrangements can be made or referrals to chapters closer to your home can be given. This is an exciting group for those with celiac disease to socialize with other celiac disease's, or for ppl who have family or friends with celiac disease. Information, support, recpies, helpful hints and ideas are the focus of our group as well as educating the community about celiac disease as to lessen the difficulty we have seen in getting properly diagnosed. If you are at all interested in joining this group please post here or email me. Or join my yahoo group solely designed for this chapter:

northshoreceliacgroup-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Or u can check my email and chapter status by going to www.csaceliacs.org, click on Local Support and clicko n the state of Louisiana. My chapter is Louisiana North Shore, Chapter 125!

Thank you, and happy GLUTEN FREE eating!!

Amy

We certainly welcome ppl from the Southshore but there is already a group in Metairie who might better serve you. There is also one in Baton Rouge according to the csa website. If you wish to join us, you are more than welcome and are certainly not required to attend every meeting. Meetings will be about once every 4-6 weeks as members see fit. Most meetings will probably be held in Slidell or Mandeville area. (PRobably Slidell at first as that is where I, the chairperson, live.) If you wish to still join this group, please reply to this post. For more info about the Jefferson group go to www.csaceliacs.org click on Local Support. Click on LA. It will list the chapters and contact info for the group in Metairie. I have no idea how active they are since Katrina. Best of luck! Amy, Chairperson Chapter 125

Hi,

I'm newish to the Northshore and just ran across this old post by accident. I was searching for a gluten-free restaurant or menu and a link popped up to this forum. I live in BelAir in Slidell and would love to attend meetings or even host one some day. I am in desperate need of peers!

No one (well, most of them) in my large Italian family understands, they will actually encourage me to eat garlic bread or things fried with breadcrumbs....because "Just a little can't hurt." They do not take Celiac seriously at all.

Help!

Thanks so much,

Debbie

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
