Northwest Arkansas, Anyone?

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.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
