GOOD EXPERIENCE. I HELPED UNLOAD AND LOAD FOR THE MERCHANTS. THE PLACE WAS A LITTLE TO SMALL FOR THE GROUP. AS THE EVENT WENT ON IT WAS LESS CROWDED.IF PEOPLE CAME LATER IT WAS A LOT LESS CROWDE. SO IF YOU HAVE IDEAS WHERE TO HOLD IT FOR NEXT TIME. SUGGESTIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME. THE PLACE WOULD NEED A LOT OF ELECTRIC OUTLETS. REASONABLY PRICED. WE HAD PLEANTY OF VOLUNTEERS ON HAND. THEY EVEN PUT SIGNS ON THE HIGHWAY. ONE MORE SIGN WAS NEEDED. NEXT TIME DIRECTIONS WILL BE POSTED. IT WAS TOTALLY SOLD OUT TO MERCHANTS. ONE MERCHANT NEVER SHOWED. sOME MERCHANTS MADE NICE DONATIONS. nEXT TIME THERE WILL BE A JOURNAL. A LOT OF WORK IS DONE IN PLANNING BY VOLUNTEERS. PS DONT FORGET THE MEETUP HAD OVER 2000 PEOPLE. THE WALK IN QUEENS. THE NEXT BIG EVENT. I WAS SORRY I DID NOT RUN INTO THE OTHER MEETUP PEOPLE. IT WOULD HAVE NICE IF THE MEETUP GOUP HAD A PERSON TO HAND OUT ABOUT THIS BOARD AND THE OTHER CELIAC BOARDS. I AM SURE MORE PEOPLE WOULD JOIN IF WE HAD EXPOSURE. .

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      I don't think we can say that just one thing, whether vitamin D deficiency or emotional trauma, or a viral infection, or what ever is always what triggers the onset of celiac disease. We do know there is a genetic component to it and there is increasing evidence that factors creating gut dysbiosis (such as overuse of antibiotics and preservatives and environmental toxins) are major players. Hybridizing of heirloom wheat strains to increase the gluten content by multiples may also be a factor.

      Blood results

      Thanks for the follow-up correction. Yes, so not 10x normal and the biopsy is therefore totally appropriate to rule out a false positive or the unlikely but still possible situation of the elevated lab test number being caused by something besides celiac disease.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thanks. I believe I can trace my gluten and milk allergies to specific traumas in my life. I've had some quite severe traumas over my lifetime. Mostly in my history I was so out of sorts surviving that diagnosing gluten sensitivity/allergy/celiac was just not on the table for such a survival mode existence. Vitamin D makes sense too. Now I take very good care of myself, I have a rock solid stability and I do take 1,500 IU of D daily. It's more obvious to me now what's causing problems and so most of the time I only eat protein and vegetables. I cheat sometimes. I end up paying for it though.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Thanks everyone for replying. Actually made a mistake when stating the lab range for results, should have been 0.0-7.0 not 0.7 u/ml. She was 19 u/ml. I’m afraid science bamboozles me especially trying to understand all the IgA’s and other bits!!!!Regular blood results like full blood count etc not so much!!!!

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By John767 · Posted

      DiGiornos gluten free pizza at one point was  made from a dough derived of wheat starch...yet they were able to call it gluten free probably because it came in at under 20ppm for gluten.  Apparently the recipe was changed and the pizza not longer contains a wheat starch derived crust.  As for the Heinz dressing, it could be an issue with cross contamination with wheat barley and or rye somewhere during the production process.  If you read how Frito-Lays (on their website) designates items gluten free, you will understand the variances in the lengths companies go through in deciding when to put on a gluten free label and when not--Frito-Lays is pretty solid.  Also being in Canada, they may follow a common international rule of less than 20ppm of gluten is all that is required to be labeled gluten free regardless of the grains used to manufacture the product (common in Europe, Central, and South America)...it took a couple of really rough mornings after consuming some Dura Damm (labeled as gluten free outside the USA) for me to realize that it was a gluten reduced beer. Same with Mahou Beer which actually says in Spanish "suitable for celiacs", unfortunately it is not suitable for this celiac and of course the following day was really rough as well...really take the time to read the ingredients because had I read the ingredients of  Mahou's "suitable for celiacs" "sin gluten" beer I would have noticed that it was made from cabada (Spanish for barley)...hope this helps...
