Hi,

Are there any other adults with gluten sensitivity living in or near the radius of Middletown, New York?

If so, I would love to chat with you and possibly meet you.

Hey Virginia,

I live in Poughkeepsie too! Have you been to the health food store on Rt. 9 in the Bugaboo Creek Plaza? I actually went there this morning, they have some good stuff in there! Well, I just noticed you were from Pok and wanted to say hello!

Wow, I see that we are really spread out. But be that as it may, it is still a great opportunity for us.

I ate at Bugaboo Creek when I was first diagnosed with gluten and the Manager and staff were great at accommodating my dietary needs!

Once in a blue moon we travel out to Poughkeepsie because it is a bit of hike for us. They do have a great comedy club not far from Bugaboo Creek.

I don't know if they still have the monthly celiac support group meetings in Middletown.

I look forward to making a connection with other people with gluten sensitivity and other health related disorders.

Hey local Celiacs! This is my first post on celiac.com, however, I have been gluten free for 6 yrs. I am 23 and live in New Windsor. I went to one or two of those Middletown support group meetings, but my parents really helped me out and we have learned so much along the way. There is probably THE best health food store off 17K in Newburgh (off exit 6 or 7 on 84 depending where you are coming from). The prices at that store are the lowest and they seem to have a great selection.

If any of you need help with anything, please shoot me an email. I work for a liquor distributor and go out to eat a couple times a week. Basically you just need to explain your food allergy to the staff and have them check for you so you will be fine.

Also, for those Celiacs or wheat sensitive people, I just saw in the paper that a completely Gluten free/Wheat free bakery will be opening in Chester soon. Their number is 845-469-1992. I just signed up on their mailing list by calling them.

Hi NYers I haven't been back to the site in awhile. I would love to chat or meet up with you all. My email address is smorecamping@frontiernet.net. I know the 17k healthfood store your right it is the best for me too...also I drove all the way out to Chester from Poughkeepsie today and found out the gluten-free bakery will not be open until June 23. I think my mouth was watering the whole ride hoping I would find a really good bread or more and then nothing. Well I did get on their mailing list. Do you have their web address I'd love to check that out in the meantime? Take care!

Virginia

Hey Virginia!

Sorry to hear you went all the way to Chester only to find out the bakery isn't open! Good to know it will open the 23rd though.

Open Original Shared Link is the website...

How old are you and what do you do for a living?

Hey Virginia;

It is funny you mentioned that gluten-free Bakery in Chester, there was just an ad in our Rockland County Paper saying it would open on 6/23 :D

I live in Marlboro, New York. That's on 9W, midway between Mid-Hudson and Newburgh-Beacon bridges. About 45 mins from anything in Poughkeepsie.

Haven't seen any info about a meeting yet, but would be interested.

Wow! what a surprise to hear from everyone and see that we are all over! No problem though. I posted another topic regarding getting together for the Christmas Holiday. So I will extend that offer here as well!

I have a few ideas for what might be fun for the whole group. But first, we need to find a central meeting point. I need to know where people are coming from and how far they are willing to drive. Also, I need to know what day and what weekend is better for you.

Remember only 7 weekends before Christmas Eve!!!!!!!!!

Let's have some fun!

I live in new paltz.

Is there a support group near there?

How about a good doctor or group of doctors near there who are keen to celiac disease and related symptoms?

I have seen too many doctors over the past 11 months and would finally like to feel confident in my doctor(s).

any suggestions?

FYI that gluten-free bakery in Chester is closed now. :( Apparently they couldn't keep up with the costs. Just wanted to add that in case any of you read this and were planning a trip out there.

That is sad, Cougar. But there is apparently a baker in Highland that makes gluten-free goodies on Wednesdays (not sure what they do to protect from cross-contamination though) and there is an alternative baker in Kingston that makes gluten-free stuff...

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      Celiac getting dentures

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
