There used to be a site called Open Original Shared Link, but it doesn't look like it is active anymore.

Maybe you could join a support group to find other celiacs. Here are some links to find a support group near you.

The experience of the person who started www.celiacsingles.com seems to be the norm. If I understand correctly, there are just too few celiacs to make it work or make it financially viable.

A simple alternative might be for interested celiacs to collectively agree on one of the popular match sites (match.com, Yahoo personals, etc.) and use it. If everyone was on the same site and made sure to use a keyword, such as gluten, or celiac in their profile, then those profiles could be easily found with a keyword search which most sites provide. At the same time, many sites permit people to post profiles without paying a fee. You are not allowed to send a message to anyone but your profile can still be posted. With so few celiacs so geographically dispersed, a match becomes somewhat unlikely. Being able to post a profile without having to pay a fee means you don't have to throw away money for something that might not work anyway. A fee is paid only when and if you find someone you want to contact. With that hurdle removed, more celiac singles might get involved.

Just a thought.

Why do you want to date only Celiacs? I've got to tell you in my experience (which is vast) of trying to find the right person over many decades... I'd certainly not limit myself to any small group it really limits the chances of finding someone.

I've got a wonderful non Celiac boyfriend now (6+ year relationship) and he knew me when I was a gluten eater and when we found out I have to be gluten-free he was on board immediately. He watched me get better and never wants to see me that sick again. When he is with me he is gluten-free and that suits him fine. At home he eats some gluten but not much.

When we travel or go out to dinner unless its a "known" gluten-free restaurant he will call ahead and talk to them and when we get to the place he will do it all over again, ask to speak to the chef and so forth (I think he likes taking charge!). Really he's a gem and I'm sure there are other guys out there that are just as considerate.

Oh well either way... good luck!

I understand totally why you would like to date someone who is also a celiac. It makes perfect sense to me! It would make life so much easier and the balance would be great. Just don't limit yourself to that balance. If it happens, then wonderful, yet if the right person comes along, and that person isn't gluten free, then don't let that person go, just because of that one fact. We can live life, quite happily, with the gluten world, we just have to set limits. I have yet to be with a gluten free man, and I have never been glutened by a kiss, nor anything more. Diabetic's do not need to date diabetic's, nor do we "need" to date celiac's. Just makes it easier. Good luck!

In terms of dating & relationships, I kinda look at Celiac as just one more thing that makes us unique. Everyone has differences and quirks, and often that's what makes relationships dynamic, fun, and interesting. A guy I dated last year was literally fascinated by my gluten issues... He did his own research, bought me a gluten free dining guide, scouted out local restaurants, bought me gluten free goodies, and even made me gluten free cookies from a mix (he was sooo proud 'cause he had NEVER baked before!).

And I have to agree with what pixiegirl said... finding the right person is hard enough even when you aren't being super-specific about certain "requirements." :)

GlutenFreeDate.com is not a website created to limit your options on dating. It was created to allow new options for Celiacs and people choosing to live a gluten free lifestyle. Please, DO NOT limit yourself to people who are Celiacs. Wouldn't it be cool to meet someone, even just more friends, who are Celiacs? I'm all for more support in a community! Celiac is a chronic condition that can be taxing on ANY relationship. You're going to need to find a very special person to stick with you for the long haul. Plus, I want to french kiss someone, on the spur of the moment, without worrying about getting sick :) HA!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them. Do you pressure cook your beans? Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking? Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production. Do...

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

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

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks. Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference. Then after...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I don't know if I am getting sufficient Omega Threes. I read about phosphotidyl choline may cause heart issues. I will have o do further research on heathy Omega 3 supplements or from foods. Is there a blood test that can tell you everything level in your system such as Thiamine, Benfotiamine levels etc? Thanks

      @catnapt,  I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.   How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them.  Do you pressure cook your beans?  Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking?  Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production.  Do you have anemia?

When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.

      If lectins were my problem, I would react to wheat germ (the highest source of wheat lectins) and beans. I don't. I only react to bread and pasta, which are the highest sources of gluten. Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue.   I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin content in these foods is greatly reduced by proper cooking and I eat very few of those foods raw, and even then, rarely!!) for years. My health has improved greatly on my whole foods plant forward diet. I have asked all my drs and a registered dietician about my diet, asked if eating such a high amnt of fiber might interfere with the digestion of any other nutrients and the answer has always been NO.     while doing the gluten challenge I did not eat ANY wheat germ (since it doesn't have hardly any gluten, and I was too sick from the bread and pasta to want to eat much anyway) I will NOT put that poison in my body again. That was a horrific experience and if this is what most celiac patients have to deal with, I am very sorry for them I don't care if I have celiac or NCGS I won't intentionally cause myself that much pain and suffering it's not worth it.
