I know that there are a few others in the South Puget Sound area that are interested in a support group. Marlene's Market in Federal Way is having kind of a planning meeting to see if there's enough interest to start a support group. The meeting is scheduled for Nov. 20th at 7:00 upstairs in the store. As frustrated as I am with Marlene's, I'm planning to go. Maybe the store will start to "get it" as far as gluten free goes.

I'll be there with bells on! Maybe I can meet other people with young kids. Hopefully that will get me off my butt about starting the ROCK group I keep thinking about.

Was this in the Marlene's newsletter that just came out last week? I suppose I could check their website to see......

It was in the calendar section of the newsletter (last page). I also read it somewhere else a week or so ago - that's how I know that it's a planning meeting.

I don't have really young kids, but I'll be there too. I'll be the one who looks like she just came from 2 hours of basketball practice. :lol:

Hey Cruelshoes and anyone else living in the Federal Way, Tacoma, Puyallup area - remember the kick-off support group meeting tonight! I'll be there at the last minute, hopefully not too sweaty. (I'll be coming straight from high school basketball practice.)

I will be there. Might have my kids in tow because my husband had a conflict. I am really looking forward to it!

I must say I am a bit jealous...It seems like everytime I move away from somewhere, something starts that I would love to be involved with. I deffinately miss home(Tacoma/puyallup). but hopefully You all are doing great with the support group and hopefully I can find on that is close to home eventually!!!

I know this has been a while but I am looking for a support group for my daughter and I as we have been diagnosed and working on living with celiac disease for almost a year now. But since relocating here we have had to re-vamp everything we are doing it is still the first year so we are learning. I live in the Renton Washington area.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      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 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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!
