Everyone,

If you were at the last meeting, you already know about the Balloon Festival. If not, let me recap.

The Suffolk County Celiac group will have their own booth at the Festival. It's being held at Calabro Airport on LI, on August 10, 11th and 12th. We will be distributing material on Celiac Disease and also have some gluten-free foods for samples.

In addition, we have an opportunity to make some money at this event by volunteering at one of the concession stands. Here's a brief explanation on how it works:

To participate in the Balloon Festival, all we need are bodies to prepare and serve. They will provide tents, equipment, food supplies and management. They will resupply the booth during the day. Products are simple stadium style that require minimum preparation so no experience is necessary.

Locations require 10 or 12 people per day DURING PEAK TIMES. Our organization will receive 10% of the GROSS SALES from each location we staff which should average $2,000. Parking, admission and meals are free plus you will be able to enjoy the whole event.

The hours of operation are:

Friday, August 10 - 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm

Saturday, August 11 - 10:00 am to 11:00 pm

Sunday, August 12 - 10:00 am to 8:00 pm

The Peak Times are: (this is when we need 10 to 12 people at the concession stand)

Friday, August 10 - 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm

Saturday, August 11 - 4:00 pm to 11:00 pm

Sunday, August 12 - 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm

This will be a great opportunity for us to make some money and have some fun.

Please let me know if you can and will participate and the days/times that you are available.

Any questions, call me at 631-957-2885 or Les Doti at 631-724-6651.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
