Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that there is a support group starting up in Bakersfield and right now we have about 18 people interested in joining. I know three or four of us here are from Bakersfield were interested in starting up a group. If you would like to join this fledgling group please email bakersfieldceliacs@sbcglobal.net. We will put you on the mailing list for the group and hopefully have another meeting soon.

Im glad to to back!!!! Stargirl, have you been to Lassens located on California ave, Mervyns shopping center? They are having a seminar re: celiac, Feb 26, 11:00am.

They have a sign up sheet at the front door. They will call you you to confirm.

Momof3,

If you e-mail Scott, he can change your username for you--then you can keep your personal statistics, signatures, PMs, etc. :)

Wonderful to hear from you again! I wondered where everyone had gone. Lassens is helping us to set up the support group. We had a meeting there a month ago where my aunt, mom and I all spoke. This time I think it is just my aunt, all in the family. I would love to see you there, I more than likely will be. I'll see what I can do about the email, I don't know why it wouldn't go through.

Hello group, I'm glad we are getting support. I really hope that I can attend Sat. My mom is at UCLA as of this past Saturday. They removed her kidney(cancer). So if i'm not there, keep me up to date!

I notified the board re: my user name. They said theres not much they can do about it???? I checked my firewall and cookies, and to my knowledge it's the same.

I did change from R-Runner to SBC dsl. So for now I'll be debm5 I guess.

Glad to be back!! deb

Hi stargirl,

Are the support groups still meeting at Lassens? I hope so!! It's been a stressful time for me. My mom past away march 6th. I feel I am not being as careful with my diet. A support group would be nice.

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you Deb. The group is still alive but as of right now doesn't have a meeting planned. I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I'll keep in my prayers.

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
