Anyone There In Central Illinois? Peoria Area?

Hello Hello!!

I went to a local celiac support group several weeks ago (Central Illinois Celiacs) and it was very informative! A local dietician (and consequently a celiac too!!) showed us part of a power point presentation on celiac disease that she presented earlier to a healthcare and medical lecture. I took lots of notes!

There were about 20 or so people at this meeting and of varied ages. They meet every other month. I was able to talk to a few after the meeting... we all agreed that it seems like there should be more people or at least a way to figure out where the other "celiacs" are hiding. I had a bit of a time trying to find the group myself.

If you're out there and are reading this... let me know and I can pass the word on. Its so great so share information and support!!!

We put together a yahoo group page to connect on: CICeliacs@yahoogroups.com. Plus we are on Twitter and Facebook. Look for 'CI Celiacs'.

Thanks!!!!

I'm also in central Illinois! One of the things I have come to realize is that central Illinois is HUGE! I will check out the Yahoo group and Facebook.

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
