If anyone knows how to find a support group in my area and would let me know that would be great. Newly diagnosed and really dont feel knowledgable enough yet to be successful in my diet. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi Sami-

I'm in Madison as well. I haven't ever been to meetings, but you're in luck as there are two support groups in town:

-MAGIC (Madison Area Gluten Intolerance Chapter) Open Original Shared Link

-Gluten-Free Badgers-- This is a relatively new group at the university. (Which I think is open to the public). Unfortunately I don't have much info, but the Badger Herald (campus newspaper) had this article a few months back:

Open Original Shared Link

If you have other questions about gluten-free in Madison, I'm happy to help! Good luck!

-Ryan

PS: if you haven't already, you should check out Jac's on Monroe St. They have Bistro-type food (including AMAZING gluten-free frites), and offer a pretty big gluten-free menu (including Silly-yak bread for sandwiches/burgers). They are extremely educated about CC issues. I've eaten there ~5 times, and never had an issue.

      The biopsy looks for damage to the mucosal lining of the small bowel from the inflammation caused by celiac disease when gluten is ingested. Once you remove gluten from the diet, inflammation subsides and the mucosal lining begins to heal.

      Our support groups in Iowa have tried for years to educate doctors and resource sites like this one.  We have held yearly conferences with continued education classes.   We have brought in Dr. Murray, Dr. Fasano, Dr. Green and Dr. elliott.  In those many years we may have had 2 doctors attend.  We sent them information, with no response.  I talked to my personal doctor and she said their training for Celiac was to show them a skinny man in boxer shorts and a huge stomach.  Saying if you see this, it is Celiac.  If it isn't in their playbook then they don't care.  Most call it an allergy with no mention of our immune system.  There is so much false information on the internet.  Then people don't understand why they can't get well and are acquiring more immune diseases. I mention this site to everyone.  Scott has working hard for the Celiac community.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      One of our sponsors here is a nut/seed/dried fruit, etc., company that sells gluten-free versions. Tierra Farm: https://www.tierrafarm.com/discount/gfships

      You might also consider a low iodine diet as iodine is know to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. But be careful with that as well as there are health problems that can accrue from iodine deficiency.
