My boyfriend just accepted a job as a professor at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I'm going to finish out my degree at Penn State next year, but I'll be able to spend much of next spring in SLO and will be moving there summer 2008 to get a job as well. What types of resources are there for celiacs in this area? Does anyone know what kind of gluten-free products can be found in local stores, who the best GIs are, where there are accomodating restaurants, etc? I'd really appreciate any information you might have.

Nicole,

I just started as a professor at Cal Poly this past August. What department will he be in? (you can pm me) I love the area and the school.

There's several health food stores that carry gluten free products and there's also a trader joes. I can send you addresses when you head out here. I don't have a GI yet (so far healthy and too busy to go to a doc). I've had mixed success in local restaurants. Some have been great; I've gotten sick at a few. Again, when the time comes, I can send addresses.

What are your plans for housing? It is pricy here. I ended up buying a very small condo in Atascadero.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Yes this is very frustrating for me ... not sure what to think.  Feels like I'm having reactions to a lot of things  Now applesauce?? I don't understand 😞

      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you

      Anyone else get pins and needles. ??? Burning feeling ? Heat makes it so much worse 😔  Winter is here.  I had to lower my thermostat because I couldn't take that hot air feeling 😔  Hopefully it goes away soon
