New Hampshire Celiac Meeting

Rafferty's Restaurant is holding a meeting May 30th at 7pm at their restaurant in North Conway, NH. They are supposed to be having different speakers including a doctor, plus gluten free food samples and other product displays. They have also invited the surrounding area support groups to come. I am hoping (and so are they) that a White Mountain area support group starts up because of this! Would be nice to have one close by. So come on by if you are around. Just off RT16 on Kearsarge street in N. Conway.

I know this was posted back in May, I hope your turn out went well. I googled support groups in nh and there is one in nashua which is kind of close by. I will be in contact with them soon as they respond. I am curious if anyone in the Manchester area has attempted this? Do they have any meetings in the Manchester even Nashua area? Anyone know?

Hi, I read your post and hope you can generate some interest in a local support group. I am not aware of any organized group in the Manchester area. By the wide availability of gluten free food I surmise there must be plenty of celiacs in the area! I have heard that the Healthy Villi group in the Boston area is quite active and a great resource, if you dont mind the travel.

This board has been a great source of information but I hear from all different kinds of people in the community about gluten free resources, restaurants and shops which stock those off beat things you just can't live without as a celiac. I would be happy to share info with you.

I live in Manchester and I have been told that there are groups in Merrimack and Keene:

CSA Southern NH Celiac Support Group 80

Affiliation: Celiac Sprue Association

Merrimack, New Hampshire

Contact(s):

Maureen Shelley (Merrimack)

phone: 1 603-429-1228

I googled for Keene info but didn't get any hits!

I personally haven't gone - but have met a couple of people that enjoy the meetings in Merrimack! I think they're held once a month, and it's a pot luck type of event.

Ehrin,

Would you (or anyone else who reads these posts) be interested in a group that meets in Manchester? I have no desire to travel to Merrimack, Nashua or Keene where I know other groups are currently meeting but might be able to free up some time for a meeting here in Manchester.

As a nurse, I have lots of resources available to me and meet lots of Celiac patients through my work. I haven't felt the need to join a group but I am sure there are many more resources locally than I have heard about.

I would be interested in hearing about good dining out experiences that other celiacs have had in the Manchester area. The last time I was at the Outback in Bedford there were not enough Gluten free menus to go around! We are definitely not alone and the restaurant community wants our business.

I live in Derry and would be interested in any support groups in the area.

I also want to say that I have eaten At Cotton in Manchester NH and if you ask about any particular meal, they will take the time to check the ingredients and let you know if what you would like to order is Gluten free. They will also make substitutions upon request.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
