Celiac Support In Washington?

Hi there,

I am a mother to a 2 year old who may have celiac disease but may not as well. She has minor symptoms..... But I have celiac disease, my mother has celiac disease symptoms and stomach cancer, My brother also has stomach cancer but no celiac disease that he knows of, and my grandmother has celiac disease symptoms as well.... It runs only on my mothers side.

I dont speak with any of them much because they werent around when I was growing up at all till about a year and a half ago so its hard to discuss things like this to them since we arent too close.

Anyway, I have looked online but have had no luck finding a support group here in Washington. Does anyone know of any? I would love to be able to meet up with other people that have this disease so I can feel a little more normal and not so much of "that sick girl".

thanks guys!

-Heather

Holy Moly Stacie!!!!! :D

If I could I'd hug you!!! Actually one of the groups you found is in my city. Its on the other side of town but that is a lot better of a commute than to a large city (appx. 2 or 3 hours away). :blink:

thanks for being so helpful with everyone on here! It sincerly helps! :P

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
