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!

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
