Hi!

Yes, I know of a support group around here--at Saint Mary's in Rogers, Jan Carmicheal leader--but I'm just wondering if there are celiacs with children in Fayetteville!

My son is 6 and doesn't think anyone, besides us, has to eat gluten-free! :D

So, I'm just asking...

Hello Connie, I hope you check this sometime. I'm in Fayetteville. It would be so nice to know someone from my town that has Celiac also. Do you shop at Ozark foods? I'll keep checking back.

I know this post is very old- but I was just "diagnosed"( not really, but told to try the diet and it works) and I live in the Fayetteville Area. So far am the only one in my family with this issue.

Hi Kellie,

I am in NW Arkansas, Eureka Springs. I have not been to a support group in the area, but there is one in either Springdale or Fayetteville.

Open Original Shared Link

There is another new member here from NW Arkansas - Razorbackfan who posted in the Doctors section.

There is a group trying to start a gluten free brewery in Springdale - here is the link Open Original Shared Link

I emailed them and they have had some funding problems, but still hope to start producing soon, maybe just on a smaller scale. They were also planning on serving gluten free pizza, so I hope they get up and running soon.

Good luck and let me know if I can help you. I have been gluten free for almost a year now.

Hello. I am from Green Forest. I am just learning of the disease. I am trying to figure out where to buy food!!! I've been shopping at Nature's Wonders in Harrison, but man, I am going broke! Just wondering if you had any recommendations.

Thanks!

The cheapest way is to first of all primarily use naturally gluten free items.

Secondly, shop at walmart and buy what they have gluten free - such as the great value au gratin potatoes, chex cereal, hormel chili with beans etc.

Then I buy what I want in specialty items on line. Amazon has a large selection. The only problem is that you generally have to buy in bulk. That is ok if you know you love the item. I buy pamela's choc. cake and pancake mix, main street granola, enerG pretzels, gluten free pasta and noodles, all from there in bulk.

I also buy the food tek microwave gluten free items from there. Those do not have to be bought in bulk. They make single serving microwave items like cake, hamburger buns, pizza - (I don't like that one for pizza, but I like it for folding around a hot dog), corn bread.

This site, that you are posting on, has an online store as well, where you can try a variety of items and not have to buy in bulk. You will see links for it - the gluten free mall on the sides of the forum.

I pretty much cook the items I always used to, and just sub in potato starch, corn starch or gluten free flour mixes where needed. Gluten free cookies, cakes, brownies can all be made easily at home and taste really good.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.
