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.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?
