Is there anyone with celiac or gluten sensitive in or near Columbus? My stepson is going gluten free and says he has not found anyone there yet who has heard of either one.

Here is a support chapter of the Celiac Sprue Association for Ohio. Perhaps that will be a start.

We live outside of Columbus. There are great places to shop and get wonderful gluten-free food in Columbus. There is Raisin Rack (Westerville), Whole Foods (Dublin), Trader Joe's (Easton or Dublin) and Wild Oat's (close to Grandview). I have heard about the group that was posted but have never been to a meeting. I was just as Raisin Rack yesterday and I can't even begin to tell you the fabulous selection of foods that they have! They also make gluten-free sandwiches at the deli there!!!

Hi, I'm Barbara and in Springfield, Ohio.

Haven't bothered with support groups yet ... I'm hoping to control this without (gasp!) meetings.

The Gluten Free Gang holds a conference every year at Columbus Children's Hospital. It is very reasonable. We go every year & we are from Pittsburgh Pa area. This year it is on Nov 8,2008. Lots of lectures & many excellent vendors to buy from. I stock up all for all year at this event. Everything freezes & no shipping......

I live in Hilliard and frequently check out the Gluten Free Gang's website: www.glutenfreegang.org

It has links to the local resources mentioned earlier, Raisin Rack, etc.

I'm a second Barbara in Springfield, Ohio. I am new to the site as of today and new to gluten-free as of about a month. So far I've had moderate success at Kroger and Meijer (who label their generic pharmacy products for allergens) and shop at Trader Joe's and Dorothy Lane Market locally. I'm jealous that you are so close to Whole Foods, I LOVE it there as well as the North Market. I make special trips to Columbus for shopping at those stores as well as seeing my fiance's family. I've been doing a LOT of web research about gluten-free products as well as restaurants in the Springfield and Dayton areas. My mom, sister and fiance are totally on-board to do a gluten-free Thanksgiving. If your stepson would like to talk to a younger person he can e-mail me at work: bperenic@coxohio.com. I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease at 19 and adapted to that through my young-adult years. I've survived so far!

Hey, I'm in Dublin, Ohio, go to OSU, I have heard that Aldi has a good selection of gluten free foods. Anybody around Columbus have any tips on doing a complete switch to Gluten-Free for a college student?

reply or email me at fitzgerald.123@buckeyemail.osu.edu

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
