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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana
