I hear a lot of talk about people starting Celiac support groups, etc.

I'd just love to talk to some people regularly who are living gluten-free -

particularly people in Long Island, NYC, anywhere nearby...

Or join the Westchester Celiac Sprue Support Group -- they sometimes have dinners and stuff in Manhattan, an annual picnic in Westchester somewhere, and meetings scattered.

I live in central NYS. There is a support group in Utica area, as well as, in Syracuse and other places. Some are just starting off the ground.

You can find one on the web or get in touch with a support group in existence.

There should be several groups in the NYC and LI area by this time.

Whats up guys..i just signed up for this board because my mom told me about this site ;] I am 20 years old from Long Island, NY. Although I am currently living in Providence, Rhode Island at JW University. I was diagnosed with celiac disease about 5 years ago. I never knew there was a celiac site or support groups, or that this many people had the disease!

There are more people than most realize. Not only is this site for the ones that have Celiacs but for the families and love ones that deal with it every day. It is benificial to all of us to be able to talk out ideas. I am from NY but upstate. There are others in your area surely. Check with the local dr office or hospitals they usually have ideas on where to go to meet others that have celiacs.

      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.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate

      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.
