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

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

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten? I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
