Tinkerbellswt--I am pretty sure there will not be two vendor fairs here in New York on the same day. The Suffolk County Vendor Fair is on the 29th, but it isn't on Staten Island. It's in Farmingdale at the college on Rt. 110. If there is another vendor fair on Staten Island, I'm sorry. If you need more info, pm me.

Just back from our meeting tonight and there are 58 vendors coming to the fair. Sounds like it will be really something to attend. Hope to see you there.

Your welcome Laura :)

I just read about those, if they are the same ones, food-tek isnt it? Or something like that? Im looking for those too, it will be nice for birthday parties so I dont have to bake a whole cake just so my daughter has a piece of cake.

My husband ditched me :rolleyes: He volunteered to help move furniture out of my grandma's. My mom and dad will be over there too. Its almost an hour drive for me but I really, really want to go. Do they allow strollers? If my daughter sleeps well tonight we will be there as long as it isnt another day like it was today. five to six hours of sleep for a toddler is not best tackled in a very public busy place ;)

HI, I am bringing my whole family. Hubby, 2 yr. old son, and 8 yr. old daughter and I. It's my daughter and I that are gluten intolerant, but most of the kitchen is getting gluten-free.

I just got back from the food fair! :)

I stocked up on the microwave Food-tek products.

The nicest surprise today was Piece O' Cake from East Lansing! YUMMY!!!YUMMY!!!YUMMY!!!

Very nice people and such good cookies, cupackes, and petit fours (which I would have sworn I hated petit fours, even from the old gluten days!). So I have to retract any former post in which I complained about the prices, because Peice O' Cake is well worth it. ;)

HI!

Yes, Piece o Cake is fantastic. I've gone in every Wednesday to pick up my gluten-free things now for about 6 months. Linda is a very wonderful women. :) Glad you liked their things.

I did try the donauts that were glazed and wooooowwwwwwweeee! I'm so glad we took the time to go. There was so much food that we hadn't tried before or heard of.

Did anyone else get sick yesterday? One the trip back home, both my daughter and I started to have stomaches. Were not sure it was something with gluten or just simlply all the food we ate. Haven't ate like that for a very long time. :)

I didn't get sick, but I limited what I tried. ;)

Hi - I'm new to this...just looking for someone to talk to. I'm starving listening to all this talk about good gluten-free food! I live in Canton and sure wish I'd known about the food fair. Briefly, after tons of years of problems, we now believe celiac disease is the culprit. HOWEVER - for the past 3-4 weeks (along with losing 12 pounds) I can't seem to tolerate anything I eat but the following: mashed potatoes w/butter (cooked at home with soymilk/store bought really gave me diarrhea), green beans, carrots, canned peaches, lately a little plain chicken and a glutenfree cereal with Silk. In one month I've never gone more than two days feeling good...I'm not sure what I'm eating that periodically bothers me...these foods are basically all I can eat and even then, something seems to hit me. Today, for the first time, I had a baked potato from Wendy's - I just knew it couldn't possibly hurt me...I did put their butter or margarine on it - and I've been miserable the rest of the day! So do you think that could be what did it? and if so, why?? . I'm so tired of mashed potatoes...even gluten-free waffles seem to bother me, along with anything toased (like glutenfree bread). What's up?? What can I do?? Can the butter be bothering me? I thought veggies and fruits were good...but maybe the peaches are bothering me...???

Can anyone please help me get through this for the next few weeks until my next dr.s appt? I'd be so grateful to get any advice on what food I might try...and also hints on what I'm currently eating (whether or not it's ok to eat it all).

Thanks so very much!! I'm getting pretty desperate here...

KarenDianne

Also, do you know of any glutenfree restaurants in the surrounding areas (including Ann Arbor)??

Hi and Welcome!! I'm in Ann Arbor, so first let me recommend the Yahoo group for gluten-free Ann Arbor. (If you can't find it let me know and I'll send you the link). You'll find the postings helpful as well as a database of stores, places to eat, etc.

As for you tummy problems, I would recommend that you slow down and just take it easy. Don't eat out, don't eat processed foods, and a lot of people find that they do have to give up dairy while their systems heal. I gave up dairy for a year and now I'm fine with it. Start by taking your diet to very simple plain foods, roasted meats, light fish, rice and potato. Then slowly add in one thing every 4 -5 days and see how you do. You'll find keeping a food log very helpful, that way you can see if there's anything specific that makes your tummy trouble act up.

Good luck and hope you're feeling better soon!

I'm in Oxford. If I can be of any help let me know.

In the beginning of your gluten free diet you may need to be casein free (protein of dairy). It could have been the butter on the baked potato that was the issue or CC. You can go to the tri-city celiac support group that was posted earlier too.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Potential celiac need advice

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
