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.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
