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.

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! :)

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
