Hey Green Bay Wisconsin,

I am looking for some friends in our area that would like to exchange emails and share our triumphs and trials as I feel quite alone with this.

Looking forward to hearing from as many of you as possible.

We are. :) I don't think Green Bay is a very gluten free friendly community is it?

Anyway, my husband went gluten free at the end of December and so did my 13 yr old. Husband last week reintroduced gluten back in and is finally seeing symptoms return...so he'll be back gluten free again soon I believe. My daughter has ADHD and has been having joint pain and stiffness for 2 yrs...since going gluten free it all went away :). Hoping the gluten free helps her ADHD as well. So I'm cooking gluten free but I personally am not gluten free...but mostly am..LOL.

I'd love to discuss meals and gluten free shopping and eating out in this area. It sometimes does get difficult.

Hope you are doing well.

Hello I am from Little Chute. Havent been on in a while. I am Gluten Free and soon to be Dairy and Nut free. I am feeling pretty low about it today. I am not as upset about the nuts as the Dairy. Since July 1 going gluten free I have added a lot more dairy into my diet...as if that was possible. I am looking for people in the area as well. I found a GREAT source of information in an Appleton store. They sell a lot of gluten free as the owners both have celiacs and they supply me w/ tons of valuable info.

My name is Jody and hope to hear from you!

hi thumper,

i'm not from green bay, but i'm a packers fan since childhood as my uncle is from there...does that count? ;)

no matter where we live, i think we can still provide support to each other through these boards. it's why i joined! a gluten-free diet is virtually unheard of here in Holland, land of bread and beer. lucky for me, there's good cheese here at least.

best wishes,

janel

Carecare,

My mom is comming to visit and she has Celiac Disease. If you could direct me in a place to shop for her I would appreciate it. She will be here the 13th of June so the sooner I can find a place the better off we'll both be. Thank you so much.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
