yllehs91 Apprentice

I'm 13 and new to this whole gluten-free thing. I'm from SOUTH SOUTH SOUTH TEXAS! (2 hours below corpus...right above mexico) and the closest group i've been able to find is corpus. the problem: their meetings are on the 3rd mon. of each month and i have school! so does anyone know of any that are in the RGV or somewhere closer to me? (maybe Kingsville??) please help! I need a support group! (one thing is that i saw where celiac disease is more commonly in Caucasian people and where i live it's greatly populated w/ Hispanics.) but plz help if you can! THANKS!!

      BTW, we've done other articles on this topic that I wanted to share here (not to condone smoking!):

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      This is an older article, but may be helpful.

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
