Hi to those in the Charleston, SC area. I've been trying to find others with Celiac so that my daughter and I could start a support group. We live in N. Charleston, and would love to hear from anyone who would like to form a group.

Just drop me a line and we can set up a meeting.

Thanks,

Cathey

Hi,

I am new to this board. I had a blood test done last week and waiting for the results. My Neurologist is insisting that I have celiac disease, but my GI dr. is saying that he doesnt think so. I also have MS too. But I chose this board because I saw Chareltson SC. My husband is in the military and we are moving to Charleston in March 06. I was very happy to see that there is a support group for celiac disease in the local area. I would love to talk to ya'all about things. Thanks and I hope that ya'all have a wonderful day. Hope to hear from ya'all soon...

I talked to a lady at Earth Fare the other day and she said she thought there is a group in Charleston but she didnt have the info right there. I told her I would come back and check to see if she found it. I havent heard of anything else in this area.

My sons dr just refered us to the dietician from St. Francis listed in this thread. I am going to try to make an appt w/ her next week or the first of the following week. The dr. did mention that she had a celiac support group. If I find out any more information about the groups after meeting w/ her I will post it.

I am new to Charleston and looking for a good GI doctor. I have not been tested to confirm I have celiac disease, but my Mom and brother both have the disease and I have a strong suspicion I do as well. If anyone can recommend a doctor with experience dealing with celiacs in the Charleston area, I would appreciate it.

thanks!

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
