Hi,

I'm looking for a celiac disease support group in South West, VA. Does anyone know about a group in this area or would you be interested in helping to start one? :unsure: Thanks for the information. :)

Where are you? The only groups I know are at Montgomery Regional Hospital in Blacksburg and a new one at Lewis-Gale Foundation in Salem. I think this Thursday will be that group's second meeting (if they meet Thursday). I am hoping to remember to to call the foundation Wednesday to check on it.

I'm in Blacksburg, so if you guys find one in this area, I would love to know when and where they meet. Thanks!

Call Montgomery Regional and ask them. They had a group that was meeting every three months. I've got a call in to Lewis-Gale about their group.

Great--I'm going to my gastroenterologist today in Christiansburg, so I'll ask him about the support group at Montgomery Regional and let you all know what I find out.

Hi everyone!

I'm a little further south! I live around the Bristol area. I called Welmont but I haven't had any luck on locating a group. We make a trip atleast once a month to Roanoke to see our allergist! :)

      We had the follow up endoscopy 1 year out from the first one. We left that day and they said visually it looked good so he thought she'd be negative again. Results came back this week as celiac sprue present and level Marsh 3A. So she doesn't have much damage but she is now positive for celiacs... Just thought I'd post in case in takes anyone else a year to get a diagnosis.

      @thejayland10, did you read this article?

      I need to supplement my vitamin intake and was told AG1 was a good product.  I checked their website and they claim to be gluten-free, but I see that barley is one of the ingredients.  If the product is gluten-free how can it safely contain barley?

      @nataliallano, whatever else can be said, you need to get serious about eating gluten free. Lots of people with celiac disease are like you. We call them "silent celiacs". They have few or no GI symptoms and falsely assume no damage is being done to their body by continuing to consume gluten. Neurological damage is one of them.

      Good day, From browsing this forum, I've come to find out that even on a gluten-free diet, many people seem to take years for their antibodies to go down to normal levels, and also that hidden gluten could keep the levels from going down to normal indefinitely. Shouldn't that mean that a celiac person would have a high possibility of testing positive given that they had gone gluten free for less than 2 years or so, and especially if they had not been careful about cross-contamination or had cheat days? The criteria for the gluten challenge makes it seems like the possibility of false negative is high in general.
