Am going to be starting a support group in Kitsap County Washington. We don't have one except for Port Townsend which is in Jefferson County. Anyone interested please email me at j_herman53@msn.com. Thankyou in advance, Judy

Hi Judy,

Where are you located in Kitsap County? I live on Bainbridge Island and started an email support group a few months ago. Here is the link: Open Original Shared Link

There are only three of us but I recently met another woman who is about to join. I am very interested in finding others to chat about being celiac. I've been on a gluten-free diet for 8 months now and I'm at the stage where I feel I have no food to eat, I'm bored with what little I can eat and so on. It woudl be nice to get together with other people to at least explore different food options.

warmly,

Selena

I live in Puyallup and I've been looking for a support group. What city do you think you'll meet in?

Probably Bremerton or Silverdale. I live on Bainbridge Island but the other two places are more central. Have you considered starting your own group and posting fliers around your area? How close are you to Federal Way? Maybe you could ask at Marlene's Health food store for some connections.

warmly,

Selena

Hi Abby:

I lead the Snohomish County Celiac Support Group. We current meet in a North Seattle location (Lake Forest Park), but previously met in Edmonds. One of our members wants to start a group in the south end of Puget sound, possibly near Valley General Hospital in Renton. I'm not sure how much progress she's made with arranging a location, but you can pm me with your email address which I'll forward on to her or I can just give you her email address.

Hi, I just moved to Silverdale and was wondering where I can go to get anything that is gluten free. I'm used to living by a Whole foods, and I did live close enough to shop at Manna Mills in Lynwood. But since I'm new over on this side of the water I have not found anyone selling Kinnikinnick products, or Ener-G or Glutino. Anyone got any advise? :blink:

Hi Pam,

I don't know about premade stuff, but Central Market in Poulsbo has a good selection of gluten-free mixes and bulk flours. They are also really good about labeling salads in the deli. It's just off 305, on the left as you are coming from Silverdale

Hi Pam,

I live right next to Silverdale. Central Market has the widest range of gluten-free and organic and exotic foods in the area, I go there only when I really need something (like snacks for a trip) and don't have the time to order online. They stock all of their gluten-free foods in the same aisles as the non-gluten-free foods, so you just need to go to the general aisle and start looking. Price-wise you are going to pay for it. On a weekly basis, I go to Fred Meyer (Riddell and Waaga Way in East Bremerton). Their gluten-free foods are located in the SUPPLEMENTS aisle (don't ask me why) in the natural foods section of the store. They have a better selection than Safeway for gluten-free stuff, there are cereals and cookies and if you are lucky, pretzels. The Arrowhead Mills Buckwheat Maple flakes cereal is real yummy. I have asked Safeway in Silverdale to stock more gluten-free stuff. They do have a nice selection of Organic fresh veggies, though. About once a month I stock up on things like bread crumbs, crackers, cookies, etc. online at Scott's store www.glutenfreemall.com . The only problem I have with it is if I want something like a bagel it only comes frozen and there's a big added fee for frozen stuff. I tried making my own, kind of fun, but not very tasty.....

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
