I was wondering if there is anyone out there that is located within the Massac, Pope, Pulaski and Johnson Counties of Illinois and the McCracken county area of Kentucky that would want to join a local support group for Celiac in the Massac County area. I already have a location which is just outside of Metropolis. Was looking for April of 09 to be our first meeting and would advertise in the "whats happening" of the Metropolis Planet and Southern Scene.

It would be once a month meeting and kids will have a place to play. If you are from this area and have interest in attending please contact me so I will have an idea of what to expect. I could use a lot of help and knowledge about this disease and support from others who know what I am going through. I know of a few groups in Paducah but with my kids and the distance I just can't make it. You can reach me at larrynbrandi@dishmail.net

Thanks

Hope to hear from some of you in this area.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      Gluten Sensitivity

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I spent my first 50 years eating wheat products every single day with no ill affects. Being a 6’2” Italian you can imagine what my diet was like and believe me I had an appetite that wouldn’t quit. In the 90’s once I discovered the wheat was my problem I avoided it and no longer had IBS. I seriously doubt I have celiac but I appreciate your input a...

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I would say two things and then I'm done. Many celiacs have been misdiagnosed for years with IBS. Testing for celiac disease requires regular and significant consumption of gluten for weeks/months in order to be valid.

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      Can the rest of your household eat the food with gluten instead of getting rid of it? Can you create one shelf, or partial shelf, for your new food in the pantry, in the fridge and in the cabinets as a start? My husband is not gluten free so we each have a cabinet, and separate shelves in the fridge. If we have to share space the gluten free foods...

I’ve been eating things I’ve longed for for decades and have never felt better.

My husband is not gluten free so we each have a cabinet, and separate shelves in the fridge. If we have to share space the gluten free foods go on the upper shelves so crumbs with gluten can’t fall onto them. Good luck!
