Hey there!

I had read a few days ago about an event in STL in May 09. But darned if I can't find the information now on the boards :D I think it was a walk/run but maybe it was just a Celiac Festival. Either way, could someone email me and let me know if this is true. My daughter and myself are newly diagnosed and I would love the opertunity to get to know others who have celiac disease. If it is a walk/run...how would I go about getting a team together for it? I believe it was in Tillas (sp) Park.

Thanks!!

Here is a list of different websites you might like to get you started.

Open Original Shared Link This I thought for sure would have a list of the walk you were talking about, but did not.

there is also a bakery in chesterfeild that offers taste testing on saturdays, they sell pizz dough, pizzas, breads, muffins, brownies, cakes and cupcakes. Pm me if you want that info.

I dont know abouts where in stl you live but at trader joes on manchester there are 2 gluten free employees that went through the entire store with us and told us what was good and not. They even let my son taste test 3 things. He is only 5. I have to admit them doing that saved us money on experimenting with food.

Pm or email me anytime. Sara mevans_stl@yahoo.com

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
