I moved to Mobile,Alabama from New York four years ago. I was diagnosed with Celiac disease in 2002. Since I have lived in Mobile I haven't found anyone dealing with celiac disease here. I am looking to meet other celiac's. This is a lonely disease especially in the south where food and good times go together. I don't go to many functions because it hard to get people to understand why one can't eat 90% of what is made. I couldn't figure out why my stomach was torn-up after eating barbecue. I just found out the charcoal that on uses to barbecue has a gluten covering that holds it together. So this years church barbecue will leave me eating salad. This is why I am looking for a forum in Mobile,Alabama. The good news on barbecue for celiac's is buy lump coal. It is natural. I am very knowledgable about my condition. I have to be I want to live.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
