I just moved to Las Vegas, NV and I am looking for a support group near where I live (Horse (north of the 215)& Decatur). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, just saw your post. We do have a local support group called the Las Vegas Celiac Disease Support Group. If you google us you can find us. Or email me for an invitation to join. In the meantime we have a gluten free event tomorrow 9/6/08 from 10:00am to 11:00am at Pei Wei 1311 W Sunset Rd Henderson, NV across from the Galleria Mall. Hope you get this message prior to tomorrow! Call me at 702 985 7664 w/ questions. When you join the support group a list of restaurants gets emailed to you. But it doesn't include Sweet Shop Cupcakes www.sweetshopcupcakes.com and they make gluten-free choclate cupcakes with buttercream frosting. We will have some available to sample at tomorrow's event.

Talk to you soon! Jenn

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.

      Welcome to the forum, @Dana0207! Another diagnostic approach would be to get biopsied for dermatitis herpetiformis which would not require an extensive exposure to gluten. But it would need to be done during an active outbreak of the rash. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it would be a definitive diagnosis. It might be tricky, however, to time the dermatology appointment with the gluten exposure and outbreak.

      Here is another one that is currently active. I know someone who has recently signed up to participate in it: https://celiac.org/aspirion-us/

      Is “Caputo Fioreglut Gluten Free Flour” truly gluten free?  The main ingredient is supposed to be gluten free wheat starch along with other ingredients.  However, the resulting homemade bread made with this flour so resembles homemade gluten bread that it seems Caputo must have some gluten?
