I am not sure what you are asking for Haze. We have the GIG, the Gluten Intolerance Group of America: Open Original Shared Link There are support groups in many places now. You have found this forum and there are several others too. Anything you need to know can probably be answered here and if not, many knows sites to look for or a person who may be able to help. Ask away!

Like Deb mentioned, there is the GIG, which has local chapters. I highly recommend joining the national group---they have GREAT information/quarterly publications sent out that are wonderful.

CSA is another group with local chapters www.csaceliacs.org

CDF is another Open Original Shared Link with local chapters

We are members of the CSA - Celiac Sprue Association. We attend monthly meetings and our children participate with the Cel-Kids Network, specifically for children who are Celiacs.

I do get a LOT of help here, but sitting and talking with others who get it, on a personal and face to face level, has really helped beyond comprehension.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
