Recently diagnosed, having a hard time figuring this out, and I don't know anyone in my life with celiac disease. I have searched the "Facebook groups" to find someone at Texas Tech to help me and it looks like I'm the only one. I will be in Austin, TX for the next week then moving back to Lubbock, I want to find someone to email or call and even go grocery shopping with once or twice. Just someone to tell me what is okay when I need an immediate answer.

If you live in Lubbock or Austin, please email me at [EDIT] ajarrott@gmail.com - I have made this email address to devote to corresponding with Gluten Free friends. [End Edit]

If not and you want to help I have text messaging on my phone, and I use my email all day, so if you just want to be able to answer questions I may have you can also email me there. I also have AIM, my screen name is 'thatchickali'. Im logged on all the time when my computer is on. I know I'm rambling, I'm sure you get the point.

      Oh my......will the danger never end? It has seemed like no matter what we do or have done the odds were/are against us. Next they'll tell us that just looking at wheat will be dangerous. Oh well....hang in there.

      Why Celiac Diagnosis Still Takes Years—and How to Change That

      Our understanding of that is very incomplete at this time. There are theories and it seems to involve multiple factors. We know there is a genetic component but that is far from the total answer since 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only 1% actually does. Other suspects are the indiscriminate use of antibiotics...

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
