Support Groups In Brisbane Area

Hi,

I am in Philippines. I have a sister in Brisbane who has been diagnosed with Celiac through blood tests (I am self diagnosed but not medically confirmed). I talked to her and she says she still can tolerate some gluten... so basically she is not following the diet... though she is gluten lite.

Anyway... recently my other sisters have been worried about her (even their husbands have been asking what's wrong with her so she must be looking pretty bad).. she is apparently really thin and is having difficulty coping / is even more scatterbrained than usual. Her two kids also have food problems (gluten, salicilates, dairy, amines....) We think she needs to get serious about gluten free and the other stuff....

Maybe it would help if we can get her to a support group so she can learn about this condition and start coping a bit better.

Can anyone advise of a good support group / good dr. in Brisbane area - she lives near Corinda.

Thanks.

Sally

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
