I am in Oak Lawn (South Suburbs) and I am willing to start one! I see that someone else posted from Oak Lawn last spring, but sadly has not returned to the forum since May. We are gluten and corn free in our house for my son who developed a tic disorder last year. He is now doing fabulous after testing revealed his allergies. I have been gluten-free myself and feel much better too. I would love to start a group. Please email me: ctalty15 at gmail.com. I could start a yahoo group page very easily and we could pick a night to have monthly meetings to share recipes, shopping tips, time savers, etc... whatever! to make this easier to manage in the long run. We could brainstorm and research restaurants and stores in the area and make our info public to help others in our area. I noticed that the Jewel store in my neighborhood and the Dominicks near my mother's house carries gluten-free products. Let's do this! If we can band together we can make our own lives so much easier! I have seen the elaborate websites for other area support groups. That would be fabulous here!

I also have a blog with my recipes posted: Open Original Shared Link

Get in touch with me, and anyone who comes across this post in the near or distant future.

Go to the Wild Oats Market in Hinsdale. They're VERY celiac friendly and I know that a woman who runs a support group in the western suburbs teaches there often.

Willing to start a group in the Geneva, St. Charles area. Don't know if that helps you at all. I have a public space to offer but am looking for people to help me get things started.

I'm looking for a group near LaGrange also. I heard there is one in Brookfield that meets at the library every 4th Thursday of each month. I emailed them about it maybe a month ago and haven't heard anything back. I think I'll check it out this month. I've never been to a support group... =)

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
