Celiac Presentation In Sandy, Utah

Hi there :) I am doing a presentation on Celiac Disease at the Good Earth Natural Foods store in Sandy on Monday night. I know this forum was so much help to me when I was first diagnosed (and still is when I have questions) and I thought I would announce this here. Hopefully, I will be able to add to your understanding. (Which I know is vast if you spend much time here ;) )

I'm currently a student at the University of Utah who is studying Health Promotion & Education. I'm also someone with Celiac Disease who has a mad fascination with it ;) I've read at least 50 peer reviewed medical journal articles on the topic, read many books, done numerous presentations on the disease (in my classes) and have learned a lot of medical information about our disease and what happens - or how likely things are to happen.

Oh, and I know this is going to be at a natural foods store, but I promise not to tell you to eat spelt ;)

I hope that someone from this forum will come! :)

Here is my little anouncement :

* Living Well with Celiac Disease!

On Monday, November 27th at 7:00 pm, Michelle Larsen (University of Utah Health Educator and a woman with Celiac Disease) will offer a presentation on the gluten-free life. The meeting will take place at the Good Earth at 7905 South and 700 East, in Sandy.

We will discuss:

- Gluten-free supplements & medications

- Complications of Celiac Disease (Neurological, Autoimmune, Osteoporosis, Dermatitis

Herpetiformis, Emotional, etc.)

- The Genetic Component of Celiac disease

- How gluten affects your intestinal tract

- Prevalence of Celiac disease

- Food!

Please come! Bring your family and your insight!

I think it's really neat that you're doing a presentation of celiac. Utah is a little too far for me to go to the presentation. Maybe you could post your slides or outline or whatever you're using. I bet it would be really helpful for newbies. Good luck!

Thanks for your encouragement! :) I need to get more involved in this board again. I miss having all of these great people to talk to who actually know what I'm talking about ;)

Once this semester is over (mid December) I'll come back to the board more often and try and make myself useful ;) I really have learned so much about celiac. It's kind of wild for an OCD person like myself to have (nearly) full access to medical journals. But hey, at least I'm learning! ;)

Just hope someone comes to the presentation!

      Dealing with celiac and menstrual cycle

      Good point, as thyroid conditions are more common in those with celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/thyroid-pancreatic-disorders-and-celiac-disease/

      @DebD5 it sounds like you are in the super sensitive celiac disease zone--and if so your reactions are real, and not psychological, as your doctor implied.  It's also possible you have other dietary triggers so be sure to look at that article in my last post in this thread.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By DebD5 · Posted

      I would like to say you saved me. I’ve been so sick the last few years, celiac since 1997. And reading your post about the other glutens/grains that can be sensitive to celiacs, is the only thing that has ever helped me. Since going off a carbohydrates/grains, even gluten-free ones, My chronic pain is  85% better. I’m actually losing weight which, that’s a long story but was impossible. I definitely am like you. Thank you so very much for posting. For some of celiacs I do believe this is the magic key.

      Curious if I should quit my job

      I 100% believe if you were sticking gluten items, especially flour, and breathed it in you could be glutened. I’m a celiac for almost 30 years. For the first ten years as a celiac I’d help my polish family make pierogis at Christmas time. I would only cook them at the stove and I didn’t touch anything with my hands using spoons. But the flour is in the air. And I’d get violently ill for 1-2 weeks after the last few years I did it. Wearing a back is a great suggestion and washing your clothes and showering when you get home. Good luck. And I’m so sorry your parents are emotionally supporting you.
