Hi! Just wondering if any Minnesota people are on this board, and if they belong to a support group.

Thanks.

I'm from MN, but am not part of any support group - yet. I was only diagnosed 3 months ago and have gotten most of my information from my doctor and online. Joining this community was my first step toward a support group. When I met with my dietician after the diagnosis, she gave me a folder with tons of flyers of groups in southeast MN. Not sure if I will join one or not - I'm not much of a "joiner".......

I too would appreciate more details about this weekend's food fair! If anybody has any, please post.

We have a very active support group meeting monthly in Minnetonka. Last night we had a Pizxza Tasting party. People brought favorite recipes and also had some from local restaurants.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.
