I attended the Walk in Maryland and it was The Best Celiac Walk I Ever Attended!

I even posted this on the forum....

The past Sunday I attended the NINTH INTERNATIONAL RUN/WALK FOR CELIAC DISEASE! it was a hit! Even the weather was perfect!

The refreshments and Vendor fair where great gluten-free foods were samples was very well received. I guess what I liked most was seeing my favorite company Katz Gluten Free's products showcased there. They even told me they're currently selling there products to Mom's Organic Market and Sunsplash Natural Foods!! I'm thrilled to have my favorite Challah Breads available local!

Than we had the exciting raffles and silent auction. Unfortunately didn't win any...

It was the best Walk I ever attended. I bet those out there in NY, Iowa, and Michigan area you'll enjoy it as well just checkout the dates for the upcoming Walk in your area at www.celiacwalk.org.

waiting to here how well you enjoyed yours...

An update:

I went to the Waterloo/Cedar Falls walk yesterday and it was GREAT. My fiance and I drove three hours from Rockford, IL. and it was worth it! The ladies who ran the group were extremely friendly and made us feel at home. We also left with a backseat full of free samples (many items which we cannot purchase in Rockford - including Go Picnic packs and Katz products). They had many raffles and my fiance won one of them!

They also informed us that Iowa will be having a statewide meeting in October and we have decided that we will be attending that (I was told that Peter Green may be speaking there).

I am so glad we went!

Hi Monica,

My name is Angie. I was diagnosed with Celiac disease about a month ago. Could you please put me in touch with a Celiac Support Grp. in the area? I live in Roscoe, IL.

Thanks!

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.
