YAY!!!!! I'm also gonna come straight from work. I figure we'll firm up an exact time closer to the date.

I attached a link with their direction page. I take the 1 / 9 to Christopher St. and then it's just a block or two. But I'm not sure what Subways are near you guys. I work in the middle of Times Square so having all the subways across the street is basically the only good thing about working in Times Square (lol)!!

Hey guys - thanks for keeping me in the loop!

I'll have to wait and see about Dec 9 but I don't think I'll be able to make it - I work for a publication too and that's my department's busiest time of the month. I'm taking off a couple of days the week before when my friend from North Carolina comes into town, so I'm anticipating spending the next week/weekend in the office <_<

I'll be there in spirit and I'll let you know if anything changes though! Have a great time! And of course I'll keep Jan 6 on my calendar - can't wait! :D

Hi guys! Okay, let so December 9th at say 6-6:15? Will that work for you guys? I get out of work at 5:30 but on Fridays, I like to leave a little early, plus I'm already downtown so I'm not far. So I can make 6, but if anyone wants to change it for 6:30 that's fine with me too.

I'm excited!! :D

Hi! I'm on the East Coast, but I'm up by Boston MA (North Shore). I'm 34 years old, a computer virus analyst (geek! :D ) and the only other interesting tidbit is that I'm getting married in October.

I don't know many celiacs around here, though I work with one, but I don't get to talk with him much as he travels extensively. I hope you don't mind me posting in here. :)

Hi.....I am in Billerica MA.....43 yr old guy just diagnosed a few months ago. Been gluten-free since labor day. I am in sales (for Verizon). Are you on gluten-free diet? If so, for how long?

Hello,

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I am new here. Recently diagnosed with Celiac also extremely lactose intolerant. I'm 26 and live in Maryland. (Baltimore County) I've been on this board quite a few times since I've been diagnosed with Celiac. (October 26, 2005) I'd do google searches "is Starbucks gluten free"...etc, and this forum always came up with the answers, so I decided to join today. My family is very supportive but it would also be nice to talk with people who know what it's like.

Hi Mandy - Welcome to the board!

I live in Carroll County, but I grew up in Baltimore County in the Randallstown area. Send me a pm and let me know where in Baltimore you live. I am trying to get Carroll Hospital Center to start a support group, because there isn't anything around here. The Baltimore chapter is just too far for me to go.

You're right, it seems that this forum always seems to come up with the answers to what we need to know. It's great to get input from people who live through this, and be able to support each other.

I'm new to this website. I was just diagnosed with Celiac disease 3 months ago with blood test and biopsy. I am married, 50 years old and live in Harpers Fery, WV.

I have looked to see if there are any support groups on the EAST Coast but haven't found any in my area.

I am in Hershey, and I can tell you offhand I know two people with Celiac, one has DH and she used to work with me, she found out right after I did. The other woman I was introduced to in May, she had just recently found out she had celiac but she suffered almost 10 years without a diagnosis. She and I are attending a gluten-free cooking class at the Giant food store tomorrow night. The chef's are making pizza and pies. The store is offering it free and it will be a good chance to meet some more local celiacs. I too would love to get to know more people who can understand exactly what I am going through. A normal person just doesn't always understand why I cannot eat regular cookies...ever. :)

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them. Do you pressure cook your beans? Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking? Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production. Do...

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I don't know if I am getting sufficient Omega Threes. I read about phosphotidyl choline may cause heart issues. I will have o do further research on heathy Omega 3 supplements or from foods. Is there a blood test that can tell you everything level in your system such as Thiamine, Benfotiamine levels etc? Thanks

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.

      If lectins were my problem, I would react to wheat germ (the highest source of wheat lectins) and beans. I don't. I only react to bread and pasta, which are the highest sources of gluten. Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue.   I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin content in these foods is greatly reduced by proper cooking and I eat very few of those foods raw, and even then, rarely!!) for years. My health has improved greatly on my whole foods plant forward diet. I have asked all my drs and a registered dietician about my diet, asked if eating such a high amnt of fiber might interfere with the digestion of any other nutrients and the answer has always been NO.     while doing the gluten challenge I did not eat ANY wheat germ (since it doesn't have hardly any gluten, and I was too sick from the bread and pasta to want to eat much anyway) I will NOT put that poison in my body again. That was a horrific experience and if this is what most celiac patients have to deal with, I am very sorry for them I don't care if I have celiac or NCGS I won't intentionally cause myself that much pain and suffering it's not worth it.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/
