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 I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      What is the best liquid multivitamin for celiac disease?

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
