Does anyone know where the top celiac disease conventions are? Looking for a convention so I can go and sample recipes and gluten free food. I am getting discouraged very quickly because I can't find any gluten free foods I like. :huh:

Tampa, FL area or any area around. If the convention is big enough I would be willing to fly.

I do know what you're saying, I think I've tried 15 different breads till I found one that was a keeper. Aside from finding more possibilities of specialized "gluten free" food products, there are many mainstream groceries that are (already) gluten free (Stagg, Progresso, Heinz, Hormel, Kraft...).

You can find some gluten-free product lists online, or email the maker (Hormel, etc.) many now have gluten free lists. But the biggest tool I came across is the Gluten-Free Grocery Shopping Guides. I wish someone had told me about them when I was diagnosed. I hated going to the store, it took forever, reading labels, being uncertain of an ingredient...

Here are links to two of them. There's another out that can also be downloaded to your PDA device, etc., by Clan Thompson, and also a new online service Open Original Shared Link (don't remember what the monthly cost of that one is).

I bought the Cecilas guide, it was about $25 and worth every dollar. Put an end to standing in the aisle and reading packages!

There are also restaurant guides out there, too.

Good luck, but the good news is there are so many resources now.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
