There is, but I don't think it's very active.

Here's a link

Anyone from the Raleigh area? The support group here isn't very active, so I'd love to meet some new people.

Welcome!!

I'm from the Raleigh area and tried to contact the TGIG group numerous times. I finally emailed their webmaster after the other contact person never replied and he did write back. He basically said that the group isn't active (lack of attendance/interest) and that the leaders were just burned out. I'm trying to decide if I have enough time/energy to try to breathe life into an official support group or if some of us should just maybe meet informally from time to time. Whaddya think?

Hi

I am from Apex and would like to get to know some fellow celiacs also. Would be glad to be a part of an official or unofficial group.

I haven't been on here in a while b/c I was frustrated with getting no replies, but I would love to meet you two! I'm not sure yet how to send an e-mail through this, but once I figure it out I'll send you one. Hope to talk to you soon!

Hey, don't forget about me.

I am in Edenton (about two hours east of Raleigh).

SouthernCeliacGirl, I am sorry that you did not feel welcome here or ignored. But that is not the first time that I have heard that. :( Try it again, perhaps it will be different. Tarheels are growing in numbers!

I'm in Cary and would LOVE a suppport group or even just a group to bounce ideas and food finds with (like some yummy NO GLUTEN cheese puffs I found at Kroger).

I'm so new to this and feel (minus the two books I got at Borders and a supportive husband and family) kind of alone with this.

Thanks!

B:

This is the best support group that you can find. Everyone here on this site is wonderfully informative and the rule here is that there are no stupid questions. Everything that you could possible want/need to know is here.

The recipe section is boundless.

Welcome and always feel free to ask away.

You're not alone! I have been gluten free for about 2 1/2 years now and it gets to be a lot easier.

We are very lucky to have Whole Foods and Trader Joe's as you said, but I have found that buying my bread mixes etc from Amazon is even easier. I also get a lot of flours from the Asian Market at South Hills. Of course, this all depends on how much baking you like to do. Lowes foods on Kildaire Farms Road carries a small selection in their frozen foods, waffles, Amy's frozen meals and breads.

There are a few of us locally that have said we'd like to get together, but have not done it yet. Busy lives of course. Ask any questions you have and I will be pleased to help.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
