I'm 22, and not recently diagnosed at all! Been diagnosed for about 20 years now.

I live in Southern Pennsylvania, but find myself often in South Jersey where I grew up (in Washington Township). I'm always looking for new friends, not to mention people to meet and talk to who understand the plight of eating gluten free :)

Hey Samantha! I just moved from Deptford, NJ to the Maryland area, and my parents live in south-central PA. Are you more toward Philly?

Hey everyone!

"Home" for me is Gettysburg, PA, I work in Howard County, MD, I go to school in Philadelphia, and I'm moving to New Jersey soon. So yep, I've got Maryland and the East Coast covered! :)

I'm 23, enjoy reading, horseback riding, horses and animals in general. I work for a horse magazine.

Kaiti - do you go to school in Frederick? I'm pretty familiar with Frederick - I drive through there to get to work and I sometimes go there to shop, etc. (b/c there is no civilization around me!) In fact, I'm going there to see a movie tomorrow :D

Hi there. I live 20 minutes North of Philadelphia and about 20 minutes from Trenton. So I've got those 2 states covered. My 2 stepcousins and Aunt love to ride horses. They have 2 and do a show every weekend it seems. My Aunt also shoots all the shows and then has a website business where people can buy her photos. Here is her link if you're interested or have run across her in shows Open Original Shared Link

Philadelphia and the New Jersey area has a lot to offer for gluten-free people. If you have any questions just let me know!

Oh wow, how cool! Where does your Aunt live? I'm wondering if I've seen her at some shows before. I was looking at her website, but didn't see a location. You can PM me if you prefer.

(By the way, since my quote post was originally made in 9/05, I have moved to New Jersey, and recently back to Maryland, now in Frederick since Jan of this year. Time flies...)

I live in Marshall, VA. It's about 45 min. west of D.C. and really not too far from those who live in Fairfax :) I am new to this site and to the Celiac life and would like to know of places to eat out! I feel so alone in this!

My parents live in Marshall, VA, and I go up there to visit fairly often. While I don't eat out anymore (too many other intolerances), the IGA in town has a fairly good gluten-free selection, as does Bloom. IGA used to have even more products, when I was first diagnosed, but they do take special requests/orders.

When I was still eating out, I went to the Outback in Warrenton, Fairfax, and Centreville, never having a problem at any of them. There's also a Bonefish in Gainesville, which has a gluten-free menu, but I got sick from that one.

No way! I wonder if I know them ;) We've only lived here for 6 years this Dec. though :)

I have noticed that IGA does carry a good amount of specialties but they are expensive!!!! Bloom has some stuff too but I still find myself going to Whole Foods to get a bunch of stuff to suppliment. I can't find everything I want/need around here.

The Outback recommendations are great! Thank you :) I've never been to Bonefish before, all seafood huh? It's nice to "meet" you :)

Yeah, it's a small world! My parents have lived there about 7 or 8 years now, I guess. It would be funny if you knew them!

IGA *is* expensive. I buy certain things there when I'm up that way, but I still do a lot of shopping at the Whole Foods in Fairfax.

I hope the Outbacks work for you; I got glutened horribly by one down here where I live, but I was okay with the ones up in that area. I would just be very clear with your needs and try to go during an off time.

Bonefish had great food--it's mostly seafood, and it's a bit pricey, but it's good. However, since I got sick there, I haven't been back. This was shortly after they opened, so hopefully they are better with the gluten-free options now.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      Researchers are working on T cell modification therapy that could one day let celiacs eat gluten.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
