Hello,

My wife has celiac disease and we live in Boulder, Colorado. We would love to

find other people in the Boulder/Longmont/Denver area that we can meet with to

discuss the trials and tribulations of celiac disease and gluten free diets. Is there anyone

out there that would like to talk? We could host people at our house if people

would like or we could meet a some public place.

Thanks,

tom satter - or just plain old tom

Hi Tom:

I live in the Littleton (Chatfield area) and would love to meet/talk with you and your wife. I'm 28, diagnosed at 2, rebelled as a teenager and started eating everything I wanted and now back on the gluten-free diet, struggling to stay on it. Too many symptoms, problems to list....all I can say are completely related to Celiac.

Tammy,

I just found that there is a chapter of the CSA (Celiac Sprue Association) in Denver.

Their web site is:

Open Original Shared Link

(Open Original Shared Link)

Normally we probably would not drive from Boulder to their meetings as I found that

there is a Boulder sub-group of this chapter that meets occassionally up here. However,

this Saturday (Feb 28, 2004) they are having a guest speaker and we are planning

to go to that meeting to just meet people (a number of people from the Boulder

group are going and we are going to try to carpool with some of them to meet

them also).

Here are the meeting details for Saturday:

Saturday, February 28, 2004

9:30 am Refreshments, 10:00 am Presentation

St. Luke's Methodist Church

8817 South Broadway, Highlands Ranch, CO

(4 blocks south of C-470, west side of Broadway)

If you can make it Saturday, we would love to meet you. I will be wearing shorts

and will have our four year old daughter with me. If you can't make that time and

would still like to meet up with us specifically, let me know and we can arrange

something else.

We live in Boulder. My two sons and I have been fairly recently diagnosed. I am planning on attending the meeting in Highlands Ranch on Sat-the 28th, unless we have another rough night tonight :( . My 3 kids and my husband have all been sick with a nasty virus. My two boys and I are fine now, so we will just come probably, although I would love for my husband to come too.

I will be the very tired looking mom with two 7 yr old red headed boys, and maybe my 7 yr old daughter also.

I know this is a long shot, but anyone else out there in the Denver/Boulder metro areas with triplets also ?

I would love to get together with others in the North metro area, and have been thinking about starting a pot luck group with a few friends who are pretty new to the whole gluten free experience :rolleyes:

PF Changs at Flatirons Crossing has a gluten free menu ! My kids and I were SO excited to find that out. That might be a good place to meet some time. My family will be attending the meeting today in Highlands Ranch, maybe we will meet you there.

Lorraine,

We ended up not being able to make it to the Highlands Ranch

meeting. However, we would love to meet you all. We have

a four year old daughter and my 8 and 10 year old nephews

live just down the street. We live in South Boulder just

behind the King Soopers at Table Mesa and Broadway.

Please send me an e-mail or give us a call so that we can

set up a time and place for our families to get together.

We usually eat at Souper Salad on Sundays and would it would

be great if you all could meet us there sometime.

tom

Hi Tom,

I am 39 years old and was just diagnosed 3 months ago with Celiacs and I am moving to Fort Collins CO.

I am excited to see that there are support groups out there.

I picked this flyer up at Deby's Gluten Free Bakery and Cafe in Denver,

(I hope it's ok to post it and pass the info on?) :unsure:

_____________________________________________________________________________

Introduction To the gluten-free Diet and Celiac Disease, presented by Diane Moyer, M.S., R.D., C.D.E

Have you been told to follow a gluten-free diet? Maybe you were diagnosed with celiac disease or wish to try it for MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, autism, chronic fatigue or some other health issue. Do all these changes seem confusing or overwhelming?

Start to make sense out of all this chaos with this 2 1/2 hour class. An introduction to the gluten-free diet and a basic explanation of celiac disease will be presented. "Safe" foods, "unsafe" foods, what to look for on food labels, how to stock your kitchen, eating out and more will be discussed. Bring all your questions.

Cost for the class is $40.00. The fee includes a copy of the gluten-free Products List published by the Denver Metro Chapter of CSA-USA.

Call 720-560-3734 for dates and times of classes.

I live in Fort Collins and attend a support group every other month. It took me awhile to be happy with it (long story). I think the group is through the CSA? It is the "celiacs helping celiacs" people :) I just realized I missed the July meeting :angry: The next meeting will be in September.

Hi Rachel,

There is a Boulder-Longmont Support group. I don't think they have a website, but you can contact them at boulderglutenfree@comcast.net

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
