Hey everyone, I know there are celiacs out here, in the raliegh durham area, what I am wondering is if there is any one out in Fayetteville, Srping lake, Hope Mills area. I am leaving soon but would still like to know about restaurants for the time i have left her, also if we could start a group, that would be awesome, at least then there would be some hope for other people wth celiac in the area...

Yes, thanks for the link! But about Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill groups--I find no active groups online. I am hoping to hook up with a gourmet celiac group, or a group who enjoys eating out together once a month or so.

Thank you,

C.T.

We have lots of folks from the Raleigh-Cary-Durham area. Maybe you can start a new thread about a gourmet cooking/dinner group. I might even drive the way. :)

I have entertained the idea of starting a group. What would you suggest would be the best way to go about it?

Am open to all suggestions.

This is a great please to start. Deborah will help you out any way she can. And, I might add, the Celiac Disease Foundation has one of the best newsletters that I have ever seen.

Where are you located?? I too am trying to find the best way to go about starting some sort of group it just seems like most the NC celiacs on this site are at least an hour or more from me....not that I am not willing to drive that far, but I would rather stay close to home, since I really dont know anything outside of fayetteville, hope mills, sprinklake area. I guess I will run to the apple crate and ask if they know if there is a group already here or not. and if not see if they might be into helping get one started, since last time I was in there they told me there were quite a few celiacs in the area.

Hi,

I use to live in Fayetteville in 2006. I didn't think their were very many celiacs there. I met only one other lady and I met her @ the Apple Crate but she was a military wife and eventually moved. I also moved for one reason or another. I remember the lady @ the Apple Crate saying there were a lot of other celiacs that came in to shop. It didn't occur to me at the time to start a group. I think that would've made life a whole lot easier there. Bless you for starting one. It was hard to be a celiac in Fayetteville when there's only Harris Teeters and Apple Crate to choose from- THATS IT!. Hopefully things have gotten better. I ate out a few times and was glutened all the time. You could try the Outback, they seem to be very celiac concious. I tried the Mash House -was glutened, tried Carrabas -was glutened and other restaurants except the Outback, but I'd call ahead first. Your on the right track to start with the Apple Crate. I hope you find what your looking for. :)

Lotsa Luck,

Larissa

First uncertain diagnosis 2004, Second doctor claimed the first doctor was crazy and pulled me off the diet. To have a Third confirmed Diagnosis 2007.

Gluten Free since Nov. 2007. Was gluten-free on and off again since 2004, Horrible idea.

Feeling Fantabulous now!!

Thanks for the support, I am going to the apple crate tomorrow, was trying to get down there sooner, but with school, and work, time is just not enough. lol. But even If i could get one meeting set up, just to start it out that would be great, since I am leaving on the 21st of this month. when I went into the apple crate she said that there were alot of celiacs here in fayetteville...so we will see.

Oops, I am wearing too many hats this morning. I was thinking that you both were in the Jacksonville area, not Fayetteville.

Raleigh/Cary areas would be your next big city. If something can't be found in Raleigh, it just can't be found.

NC is made up of small towns. I consider myself pretty fortunate to be in Raleigh... we do have a lot of stuff. And if we don't have it, you can be sure Cary does.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine. Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine. Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats. Meat, especially organ...

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      @lizzie42, You're being a good mom, seeking answers for your son. Cheers! Subclinical thiamine deficiency commonly occurs with anemia. An outright Thiamine deficiency can be precipitated by the consumption of a high carbohydrate meal.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this...

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!

      @lizzie42, You're being a good mom, seeking answers for your son.  Cheers! Subclinical thiamine deficiency commonly occurs with anemia.  An outright Thiamine deficiency can be precipitated by the consumption of a high carbohydrate meal.   Symptoms of Thiamine deficiency include feeling shakey or wobbly in the legs, muscle weakness or cramps, as well as aggression and irritability, confusion, mood swings and behavior changes.  Thiamine is essential to the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine which keep us calm and rational.   @Jsingh, histamine intolerance is also a symptom of Thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine is needed to prevent mast cells from releasing histamine at the slightest provocation as is seen in histamine intolerance.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine from the body.  Without sufficient thiamine and other B vitamins to clear it, the histamine builds up.  High histamine levels can change behavior, too.  High histamine levels are found in the brains of patients with schizophrenia.  Thiamine deficiency can also cause extreme hunger or conversely anorexia.   High carbohydrate meals can precipitate thiamine deficiency because additional thiamine is required to process carbohydrates for the body to use as fuel.  The more carbohydrates one eats daily, the more one needs additional thiamine above the RDA.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Keep in mind that gluten-free processed foods like cookies and such are not required to be fortified and enriched with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts are.  Limit processed gluten-free foods.  They are often full of empty calories and unhealthy saturated fats and additives, and are high in histamine or histamine release triggers.  It's time you bought your own vitamins to supplement what is not being absorbed due to malabsorption of Celiac disease.  Benfotiamine is a form of Thiamine that has been shown to improve intestinal health as well as brain function. Do talk to your doctors and dieticians about supplementing with the essential vitamins and minerals while your children are growing up gluten free.  Serve nutritionally dense foods.  Meats and liver are great sources of B vitamins and minerals. Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
