Hmm, I finally found the introduction page! I just moved here to Vancouver, WA this week. I am still new to the gluten-free lifestyle, and figured since I moved to a new place, this would be a fantastic opportunity to actually stay motivated on the gluten-free diet. Has anyone been to the GIG meetings in Vancouver? I have never been to support group or forum for that matter, so this is all new to me?

I am starting to see that we can have real lives and be social again!

Welcome to another transplant! :)

I'm in the Seattle area myself, and don't know exactly what Vancouver has to offer, but I know that Portland is relatively close and has quite a lot of useful stuff.

You're so lucky to be close to Portland. You'll have to try out the gluten-free fish and chips -- soo good...most folks don't even know they're gluten free. Portland is the perfect Celiac City.

I live in Bellingham, WA - about an hour south of Vancouver BC, and 1.5 hours north of Seattle. Welcome.

Plus there is Lingonberries market, it is about 95% gluten free and is in Vancouver just off I-205. The fish place is Great! They even have cheese curds and gluten-free desserts.

Most beers contain barley. I know there is a brand from over there I had once called tolleration. It is made with only hops. I'm not a big beer drinker so I can't be of much help.

Hmm, well I just did the reverse move. Bend, OR to South Lake Tahoe. I haven't been to any GIG meetings, but I know Cynthia personally - based on that the meetings will be worth the effort. Also on Vashon is Camp Sealth - the Boys/Girls Club camp that has a gluten-free session intermixed with the rest of camp. Both of my kids will be there again this summer. If you want to have some fun, volunteer to cook at camp. Lots of cake, bread, cupcakes, pizza, garlic toast, and new products.

And for when you drive south, in Chehalis (Factory outlet mall), go east into the little town and there is an absolutely fantastic little mexican restaurant at the railroad tracks. Best corn tortillas I've ever had - made to order.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
