I was diagnosed about 2 weeks ago with Celiac, also hae to stay away for Soy and Dairy (Casien). My husband and I moved to GA about a year and a half ago. I would love to hear from anyone near Atlanta to understand more about what I need to do- how to help my husband understand-and how to make this a positive change for him too. ;)

Looking forward to meeting new friends!

Harrisgirl,

Welcome to the board and Atlanta. I live just west of the city and ride MARTA. I work in the midtown area of the city. This June I will be gluten free for 2 years. :D

There are several more of us from the Atlanta area on this board. You can pm me anytime.

Again Welcome!

Susan

I was born and raised in Atlanta. I will be moving back there as soon as I finish my degree.

I was diagnosed about a year ago. Feel free to message me if you ever want to talk!

I'm newly diagnosed and live in Atlanta as well. I'm also struggling a little, especially with getting my husband and friends to understand...so I can't help you there...but I'm here if you need someone to commiserate with. :)

BTW, does anyone know a good dietitian with experience in Celiac disease in the ATL area?

I'm gluten intolerant and in Atlanta, as well . . . also allergic to dairy, soy, and eggs. But I've adjusted pretty well by (most of the time) focusing on the beauty of what still is available within these limitations. I blog about it at Open Original Shared Link if any of you are interested in recipes, insights, etc., from a local girl. :)

Hi All...I'm in Atlanta too! Actually Marietta but I work in a hospital in Atlanta. Originally from New Orleans and moved here 10 yrs ago.

I am going to see Dr. Jagiella on 8/31. She is a celiac specialist (or at least sees all of the celiac pts in the pratice.) She was recommended on the Atlanta celiac website as well.

I'm new to all of this but I'm here if anyone wants to compare notes!!!

See y'all around the board!

I formerly lived in Atanta (Marietta) for eleven years and still visit 2x every year to see my GI doctor (Dr. Rudert) and family. My husband and I live on the west coast of Florida and I am originally from Savannah. I am always looking for other gluten sensitive or Celiac friends to meet/have lunch with when I visit Atlanta. Do you live on the north side of town? I usually stay in the perimeter area when I visit my doctor.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      still struggling with cravings

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, ...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

      Hello still dancing around my celiac disease and not getting medically backed up considering Ive been glutenfree since 1994.All my ailments are the core issue of my ghost disease aka celiac disease. Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:
