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...

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
