Hi, my name is Michele. I believe I suffer from either an intolerance or sensitivity towards gluten. I was hoping to find some info on a G-ville doc to test my theory, but I

Welcome to the site.

Hi there. Sorry for the confusion. I meant to place that post in the Gainesville, FL section. I'm new to using these forums. :)

Hello! My name is Carolanne...and I've lived in Florida for over 20 years. I am a Celiac, and I've been Wheat-Free for 20 years, and Gluten-Free for over 3 years. I'm trying to locate people who live Gluten Free here in Florida...and it's not been easy. Most of the links I've found have been disconnected or discontinued...and I'm having a devil of time finding people to connect to. I'd really like to find others who are interested in getting together...and I understand that I am not alone. I've read several posts from people looking for help, Doctors, restaurants, support groups, meetups and such here in Florida.

I've created a Yahoo Group in the hopes of connecting with other people here in the Sunshine State...and to help others connect as well. I'd like to know if anyone is interested in something that will enable you to contact others in your own local area. I'd like to make more information available to people who are living Gluten-Free in Florida.

Hi, Michele!

Welcome! My doctor is Dr. Leibach at Digestive Disease Associates, out near North Florida hospital. They are familiar with Celiac, and that is where I was diagnosed, although they gave me some outdated info on the diet. I just went in not knowing what was wrong and a PA there ran a bunch of blood tests on me. I'm very grateful that they were able to tell me what it was so fast!

There is no support group here currently. I'm very interested in getting together with people, and a few were interested back in May and were supposedly getting together for a potluck, but to my knowledge it didn't materialize. Depending on what you find out, stay in touch and maybe we can get something going! Good luck.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
