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.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50. US 2024 - Increased Risk of Herpes Zoster Infection in Patients with Celiac Disease 50 Years Old and Older Sweden 2018 - Increased risk of herpes zoster in patients with coeliac disease - nationwide cohort study

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
