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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
