Attention Vendors,

The Colin Leslie Walk for Celiac Disease will be held October 14th in Rye,

NY, co-sponsored by the Westchester Celiac Sprue Support Group.

Last year the walk had 422 people in attendance and raised $62,471.73 which

was donated to the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University

Although this year's walk date October 14th seems to be a long ways away,

three months will fly by in a flash. We have room for 60 vendors and we

plan to fill all of these spaces.

Each vendor will receive one 8ft. table which includes electricity for any

appliances that you wish to bring.

This year in addition to the walk there will be:

* Presentations by Dr. Peter Green of the Celiac Disease Center

* Presentations by Nutritionist Anne Lee of the Celiac Disease Center

* An available Gluten Free Lunch

* Family Blood Screening for 300 people, conducted by the Celiac Disease

Center at Columbia University

We are expecting an attendance of at least 700 people.The cost to vendors is

$75 for the chance to display, promote and sell your new or existing gluten

free or celiac related products.There are also sponsorship opportunities

available.For more information please email Colin Leslie at:

cmleslie@optonline.net. I will respond with an information packet.

All proceeds of the walk will be donated to the Celiac Disease Center at

Columbia University.

For any list members who would like to attend the walk, vendor fair, or

family screening, I will be posting more information on registration in the

coming weeks.

I hope to hear from you soon

Sincerely,

Colin Leslie

Info/Map

Description:

Colin Leslie is an extraordinary 15-year-old that was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2005. He is extremely active in his campaign for Celiac Diease awareness in his community and is organizing his second Colin Leslie Walk for Celiac Disease. I am very impressed by Colin and his community service. This is no easy event for a support group of adults to pull off, let alone a high school student. The first Colin Leslie Walk for Celiac Disease in 2006 raised over $62,000 for the Celiac Disease Center and had 422 people in attendance. I would love for our NYC Celiac Disease Meetup group to help make this year's walk even bigger and better.

Transportation to Rye will not be provided by the group but you can take Metro North from Grand Central to Rye, NY. Depending on participation from the group, carpools may be arranged.

You must register for this event at Colin's website. Everything you need to know about the 2007 Colin Leslie Walk for Celiac Disease can be found at the website: http://www.colinlesli...

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
