Hi,

Just wondering if anyone lives near me with young kids that just happen to eat things made with xanthum gum and lots of egg whites? :lol:

I live about 30 minutes north of Eugene and 90 minutes south of Portland. Anyone feel the need from time to time to introduce or set up playdates with other celiac kids? I want my son to learn to live in the real world, but that also includes letting him meet other celiacs like him!

Has anyone ever organized such playdates? What do you do, take an ad out in the newspaper to find out whose out there?

I like in Salem! I don't have any kids, but I know there is a Salem ROCK (Raising Our Celiac Kids) group.

Also, have you been to "living Earth bakery" in corvallis? It's a completely gluten-free bakery, they make the BST gluten-free bread!!

Anyway, Email me if I can help!!

Thanks Adelle. I found the ROCK coordinator listed for Salem and emailed her. It's a bit of a drive for me, but it would be worth it. I thought I would see what it is like and perhaps try to form a chapter closer to me. I KNOW there has to be other Celiac kids nearby.

Yes, we went to the Living Earth Bakery in Corvallis. It was SO FUN to take my son in there and let him pick out whatever he wanted.

I LOVE that bakery!! We eat bread from there nearly every day. The whole grain is my favorite. I have had DREAMS about those cinnamon rolls!! Oh man!! You can also do special orders which (if it's a drive for you) I reccomend because they sell out FAST sometimes. I ordered bread, ladyfingers, cupcakes, brownies, and pizzacrusts for my birthday, I almost went into a carb coma.... *drools*

Is your kiddo dairy free too?? I know they do some dairy free as well (the sandwich bread is for sure). And Nechama (pronounced neehama like rhyming with mama) made "chocolate" cupcakes once that were dairy free. SO good (and I am not a chocolate person).

Anyway, hope you find some sillyak kids near you!

Debbie, Are you still on this site? My family just moved back to OR from AK, to Brownsville, and just diagnosed by daughter (almost 5) and husband with celiacs. We are still trying to decide what to do about testing the rest of the family. My mom was recently diagnosed with colon cancer at 53, which is some of why we moved back, and I am unsure if I am going to go through the whole testing thing before going gluten-free. My daughter (youngest of our three, turning one soon) patch tested for gluten intolerance at one month old.

Anyway, I'm looking for support groups for kids and moms!

Thanx.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
