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

6:00 should work for me. I don't really have a set time that I get out but on a Friday I usually leave around 5:30. I work in Times Square so I just hop on the subway across the street : )

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.

:D Mandy

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. :)

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
