I was in Florida but have moved. There is a great support group in Orlando! Look them up and try to go to a meeting, if you can. :)

HI! I"m 28 in the Daytona Beach area. Have a 3 year old, and a 5 year old. Waiting on test results to come back next week. Have been gluten-free for 2 weeks now. Was also on Dr. Phil in Sept, and if it wasn't for all his show has done for me, I would have NEVER known!

I can't find any support groups in the area and thinking about starting one.

I'm 26 and I live in Orlando. Has anyone tried dating after being diagnosed? I've heard horror stories about kissing a guy after he had a few beers and then being sick...I'm unsure how paranoid I need to be in that aspect. Any tips?

Also, if anyone has any questions about eating out in the Orlando area, especially Disney, please don't hesitate to contact me! I've been living here for almost 2 years now, so I've had a good chance to scope out some favorite restaurants. :)

jparsick84, you don't have to be that paranoid in my opinion -- of course, we all have differing levels of sensitivity and you will hear of people that do not worry about such things and people that would never dream of kissing someone who had had a beer. I make my husband rinse his mouth out after beer, and brush his teeth after eating gluten. I haven't ever gotten sick from kissing him. :)

I can vouch for the kissing thing, IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!, I guess everyone is different though, but one night I kissed a guy after he had eaten pizza a few hours earlier and I still got glutened... I read in a book somewhere that if you are dating a not gluten free person make sure they brush there teeth before you ever kiss them to avoid the horrible consequences.

Hi, My name is Laura I live in Cocoa Fl. My Son who is 14 almost died of type 1 Diabetes, I went to the library to get info on Diabetes and a cook book, in the same area I found a book for ADHD & Autism cookbook going gluten free and casein free which my second son is very hyper with low concentration? So I picked up that book too, to my realization all the symtoms that were described in the book was what I myself was feeling... So being un-employed with no insurance I went on an internet scout of my own and found some very interesting and scary facts about type 1 Diabetes and Celiac Disease. After a day of information overload, I went to my cabinet and filled three boxes full of food and frozen foods that I imediately gave away went to the store to see what I and my family can eat. I bought bread flour and all the other things that I could imediately eat and fix for dinner. From that day on which has been two weeks now, I can get out of bed without feeling bad and I have eaten food that does not make my stomach hurt, and I do remember things now. Not sure if I am Coeliac or not but the whole Me is much better. I told my ex to take my oldest son to the Dr. to get the test ( he has insurance for him ) hopefully he will, have not heard or not. Thanks for the vent session. If there is anyone out there with input or more info that will help feel free to let me know...

I have lived in Florida off and on since 1970. I have found gluten-free foods to be more accessible than ever.

      FDA looking for input on Celiac Gluten sensitivity labeling PLEASE READ and submit your suggestions

      I believe the GFCO does use a common logo for certified gluten free products (those containing not more that 10ppm of gluten) but nothing universal yet from the FDA for standard gluten free products (those containing not more that 20ppm).

      Gluten free Yogurt suggest

      I have a One Pot and decided to start using it one day. I was hesitant at first making my own yogurt, but was surprised at how easy it was. I like mine better too.

      Because I spend so much time reading every word on all food packaging, I personally would greatly appreciate it if there was one common gluten-free symbol written in large-enough text, and always located in the same place. That alone will make shopping easier and faster. I dread having to buy packaged food. Thank you very much for asking,

Otherwise, it should be naturally gluten free.  Keep in mind that some companies are capitalizing on people's fears and ignorance (nothing personal intended) by labeling foods "gluten free" that are just that way by the nature of what they are. They are hoping to create a marketing edge over their competitors by adding "gluten free" because they know it may catch attention of those new to the celiac/gluten sensitivity experience without having to cost them anything in the way of changing their manufacturing process or doing testing.
