I think it's fine, with the samples I got we'll be more than ok. The potluck idea got scratched for this time around :) Just bring a smiling face. :D

Just wanted to say thanks again to my fellow So Cal people for making Saturday a very nice, informal get together. It was both great to commiserate with people who understand and also educational.

Yes, I think it was an awesome success and it was so helpful to talk to other Celiac's face to face. Thanks to all of you for coming, and thank you Merika, for the use of your house.

It was so great meeting everyone who came!!!!!!!

I was at the WeHo Whole Foods today and on a whim stopped by their bakery dept and they said *drum roll* starting today/tomorrow they will be carrying 19 NEW gluten-free fresh bakery items - breads, pies, pizza crusts, muffins - NINETEEN! So stop by and support them :) And happy eating :D

Whole Foods is on the corner of Santa Monica Blvd and Fairfax in West Hollywood.

Yes, thank you for hosting, Merika!

I hadn't really had a chance to write about what happend after getting home, yet, but have a few minutes now to do that...

I got home, and put up the free samples we'd split up, and put the bottles of Bard's Tale in the fridge, and one on the counter so I could drink it. Not two minutes later, I heard a crash-y type noise in the fridge. When I opened the fridge door, I discovered that one of the bottles had burst, breaking the "shatter-proof" shelf above it, and sending beer and glass shards everywhere! I took the remaining bottles out of the fridge, worried about temperature shock, and started emptying the fridge. About five items out of the fridge later (a whole two minutes), one of the bottles I had taken out of the fridge popped, spraying beer and glass shards over the kitchen. My husband came out at this point to see what was going on, and the bottle I left out to try burst on the counter right next to him, spreading beer and glass shards across the remaining clean portion of the kitchen! We've been finding glass shards everywhere (near the front door, across the living room, etc.) for the past three days! (No injuries though... everyone's just fine! :-) ) It took about the same amount of time for the beer smell to vent!

I gotta say, though, my kitchen and fridge haven't been this clean in ages! :-)

The last remaining bottle is out on my balcony. I'm scared to open it. :o

That is absolutely insane. I'm so sorry that happened. I've never heard of beer exploding. I had a soda explode once because I put it in the freezer and forgot about it but that is just nuts.

The ones I drank had some head on them but my god!

Please tell your husband I didn't do it on purpose! He probably thinks your Celiac friends are crazed beer assasins. I'm just glad everyone is ok.

Ack!

Hehehe... Maybe it was all the time I spent with the Zen monks at my yoga retreat, but eh.... it's all good. :-) I do plan on trying that last bottle... But will probably open it with a big towel wrapped around it. ;-) hehehe...

Hahaha, about the beer :) That's classic homebrew beer story, lol, I guess that says something about the state of gluten-free beer brewing!

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
