suffolk county nyOur next meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 11th at 7:30 pm (delayed one week because of Labor Day).

This meeting will be dedicated to answering as many questions as we can about Celiac Disease. So, if you are newly diagnosed or are a "seasoned" Celiac, bring your questions, problems, comments, gripes and anything else you can think of and we'll try to help. We'll talk about foods, restaurants, doctors, online vendors and whatever else comes up.

We will also be giving you an update on what's going on with the group and what's in store for future meetings.

We will have two guest vendors:

Keith Kohler from Core Naturals

Nutritious Creations - a gluten-free cookie company located right in Bay Shore

It will be a very informative meeting and we look forward to seeing everyone there.

Now something good - a reminder - Dr. Peter Green will be our guest speaker next week, Tuesday, October 2nd. The talk will be in the auditorium (front of the building) and we will have four vendors in the cafeteria for afterwards. There will also be samples from an additional four vendors.

Obviously, we will need some help with this month's meeting. We will need people to collect the admission fee, sell Dr. Green's book, help set up and clean up in the cafeteria. If you can help out, please be at Higbie Lane as early as possible.

We have Dr.Green scheduled for 7:30 pm and would like to start right on time. His talk will run about an hour and then everyone can go to the cafeteria for coffee and check out the vendors/samples.

The price is $5.00 per person. Please make every effort to attend - this is a fund raiser - all proceeds will be given to the Celiac Disease Center and our group will match all admission fees and donations.

See you next week.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
