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.

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
