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 Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
