Anyone else live in Tuscaloosa/Northport, Alabama area and know of a support group?????

I have a couple of friends who are gluten sensitive like me and we're interested in finding others.

I have learned in the few weeks that I've been gluten-free that there are A LOT of people out there like us. And a few friends do it for their kids. It's very interesting how prevalent gluten-free is but I never paid attention before.

So, let me know.

Hi Celestial, I live in the Bibb Co area so not too far away. I'm not gluten free, it's my daughter with Celiac. However, our whole family is gluten free (with occasional individual cheats) for meals, holidays, snacks, etc. If you start a support group around there, I'd love to come.

Hello -

I am the leader of the Birmingham Celiac Disease Support Group -- although we cover most of the State, not just B'ham. I know that there are a lot of people in the Tuscaloosa are that are celiac or gluten free.

I would love to go to Tuscaloosa and have a support group meeting, and to have you all join us for events here in Birmingham, when you can. Last year, we had a gluten free food expo, a gluten free dinner gala, and a Making Tracks for Celiacs 5K run -- we are currently planning for the 2013 event, and would love to have you here!

You can reach me at Open Original Shared Link . Let's plan a meeting!

Rebecca

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      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.
