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

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.
