Hi I am already pre registered for the fair. My question is this: I don't remember where any of the buildings are- I went there. Broadhollow Rd. is the Rte 110 or Melville Rd? Somebody help please-- Don't need to get lost trying to find Roosevelt Hall...

Thanx

Lynn

Morning Lynn--Rt 110 is Broad Hollow Rd--I hope that helps. Personally, I have never been to the college--the number is 2350 Broad Hollow--if you go to Mapquest and type in your address, then the college address, it will give you directions. I'm sure if you have been there before, then you will remember once you see the directions. Kev will tell me how to get there, so until now, I had not thought about it.

By the way, where do you live, I'm in East Islip. I'm looking forward to the fair again this year.

See you there!

Dear Deb,

Thanks, I didn't even think about that. I live in Levittown. How old are your kid(s)? Mines' 13.

Morning Lynn,

My kids are grown. Jeremy will be 33 in May, Mike 30, Nick 28, Joe 25, and Holly is 24. I have grandkids closer to your child's age. Three 9 yr olds, 7, 5, 3, and 5 months. My kids and grandkids all live in Michigan. I know that most of my kids, if not all would be much better off on a gluten free diet. My granddaughter Brooklyn has had 3 seizures and the doctors have not figured out what caused them yet, my grandson Colin has enamel problems with his teeth, the youngest Ethin, has been sick since he was born. The poor little guy has GERD, sleep apnea, doesn't utilize protein properly, is dairy free and soy free and he is only 5 months old. When I ask my kids to check into gluten as a possible cause, they just shake their heads. Two of my sons did ask their doctor to be tested for celiac disease and the doctor told one he doesn't look celiac (I guess he doesn't have 2 heads like the rest of us celiacs) and the other was told it isn't necessary for him to be tested at this time!

Hope to see you ar the fair--I will be one of the workers wearing the green t-shirts and the one with the longest hair! ;)

Hey Deb,

Sounds Like your KIds/grandkids have their hands full!! I hope your sons decide to go for 2nd opinions, or get new peds. Maybe they should tell the doctors that it runs in your family== maybe that will get their attention!! My daughter was not well as a baby either. Ok, we will be there- look for the shortest lady 4-9 and my daughter is shorter.. see you soon. Lynn :rolleyes:

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also...

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to...

I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?
