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.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
