Wanting To Talk To Someone

This weekend I was in the Bakersfield, California area visting my folks. We went to Bakersfield to a place called Lassen's. It is a family owned store similar to Whole Foods. They had a lot of great gluten-free products. The best thing about that visit was that one of the employees is a Celiac. We were able to talk a bit. After I left I realized that this was the first time that I was able to talk face to face with someone else who is dealing with celiac disease. It felt GREAT!!! :D I've asked this before...anyone reading this from Fresno, CA??? :unsure:

Hi Kathleen,

I am in your area. We talked on email a few times, but I lost my entire email address book, so I haven't contacted anyone in a while. Please email me and we can plan a time to get together.

god bless,

Mariann

Hi Kathleen,

I recently moved to Fresno from San Jose (just a bit south/west of Clovis). I am classified as "gluten-intolerant" rather than celiac because I have not been diagnosed via the biopsy. Regardless of the label, however, I need to be gluten-free to stay healthy. I was diagnosed almost 2 years ago, so have some experience with the disease and the emotional impact it can have on your life. I don't know much about Fresno yet, but would be happy to talk to you any time. Feel free to email. - Alicia

Hey, I am here in Clovis, just diagnosed last week, feeling lonely and like I've entered a bizarre universe!! Thankfully, Trader Joe's saved my life.

This thread is from last summer, but if you guys check it again, let me know! We could meet for gluten-free coffee..... :rolleyes:

Hi Susan...I havn't been on this board in a long while. I just read your message from the beginning of this year. Wish I had read it earlier. I know what you mean by a bizarre universe. After 6 months ...how are you feeling...Kathleen

Hi, I am pretty close to you, living in Bakersfield, going to Fresno often as my husband attends FSU. I love Lassen's as well. The owner there takes a real interest in Celiac's and Gluten intolerance as well as Wheat intol. Their Kinnikinik bread is THE BOMB.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
