Hey all, just wanted to post that the Las Vegas Celiac Support Group is active again after almost a year of being inactive. I took over our group effective 9/11/2005 and am looking forward to helping our group grow and share lots of information. If anyone has any suggestions, ideas, helpful hints, etc... I would appreciate them whether from other group leaders or from those in a group or anyone else! If you know anyone in LV who has celiac disease please pass the info on! Thanks Jenn in LV B)

We are going to Las Vegas for Christmas. Any info on restaurants that are helpful to gluten-free would be great. We are staying at the Mirage, but my usual staple - Kokomos will be closed. I already started a list of recommendations from Broncobux. Armetta

My mother lives in Henderson NV and I visit often from Michigan. It would be great to know which restaurants to visit while I am there. If someone can post it, or email with that information, I would be forever grateful.

I just have been dx with celiac disease and I am so overwhelmed!!!

Thanks

Although neither of you reside in Vegas, you should check out our local group and sign up. You can then get info on local restaurnats that have gluten-free selections. Also, since your mom lives in Henderson maybe she could come to a support group meeting some time. I think she would enjoy it. The link to the website is: Open Original Shared Link

just click the join in tab and I will approve you. Make sure you set your settings to get all the messages from the day in the daily digest so that you aren't overwhelmed by emails!! Jenn in LV

You've been approved. Thanks for joining. Please let your mom know there is a celiac disease meeting at Water to Go on Rampart and Lake Mead tomorrow (15 of October) at 2:00. You can find the address on the support site. I hope she is able to make it we have some great samples of gluten-free food available, there will be a speaker discussing a gluten-free related topic, and we will also have some gluten-free baking mixes being given away. Oh yeah, and all members will get a 15% discount on gluten-free purchases (including gluten-free vitamins). Hope to see her there! Jenn

Hi... I just applied for membership. I have not been diagnosed as a celiac, but have been fighting symptoms consistent with celiac disease for a few years. My brother was just diagnosed with celiac disease and SS (Sjogren's). When I look back on the last few years, it is so clear that I am a celiac. I have been gluten-free for a few months and feel great. It is amazing how clear headed I feel. Hopefully I will be approved so I can meet other people that understand celiac and how frustrating it can be. Thanks :)

Hello I was diagnosed 6 weeks ago and feel totally lost. I'm afraid to eat anywhere but home and even there I managed to make mistakes. Does anyone have any recipes for real food? I'm getting tired of eating plain meat and canned veggies.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      No. There is no damage done to the gut lining with NCGS.

      Hi Trents, Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I do have concerns about NCGS. Would this show up if I did the endoscopy testing?

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By trents · Posted

      @MagsM, It concerns me that your physicians seem to be preoccupied with the concept of "classic celiac disease".  That suggests to me their knowledge of celiac disease may be dated and they don't have a concept yet for the "silent celiac" who doesn't manifest with classic GI symptoms.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By MagsM · Posted

      I have copied in a summary of my latest bloodwork from ChatGPT below. My GP will not refer for any further investigation and given that I do not have gastric distress symptoms it doe seem that I do not have classic Celiac but may have some malabsorption issues. I am now considering just going forward with a gluten free regimen and tracking symptoms. I will see the Consultant Otolaryngologist tomorrow and will share these results. I have already ordered the B-Complex and Benfotiamine and will start that regimen soon. Any feedback and your amazing expertise truly appreciated... Key Immunological and Nutritional Findings Test Result Normal Range Interpretation Tissue Transglutaminase IgA.   <0.2 U/mL.      <7.0 =            Negative   Strongly negative — rules out celiac disease Endomysial Antibodies (IgA).    <10                                         Negative   Supports absence of celiac disease Total IgA                                       1.94 g/L            0.65–4.21.   Normal IgG / IgM                                      8.47 / 2.04 g/L                      Normal.      Normal immune status ✅ These results do not indicate immunodeficiency. IgA is sufficient to make celiac testing valid, and IgG/IgM are in normal range. ⚠️ Nutritional / Absorption Concerns TestResultNormal RangeInterpretation Folate (B9)        3.1 ng/mL.          3.1–20.5.       Low-normal — borderline deficient Total Protein.    63 g/L.                 64–83          Slightly low Ferritin.              33 ng/mL.           15–150.        Normal, but low-normal; could reflect depleted stores 📌 This constellation of results suggests possible subtle malabsorption, suboptimal nutrient intake, or a functional GI issue — even in the absence of celiac disease. 🔄 Implications for Ménière’s and Autoimmunity While there's no evidence of classic autoimmune disease or celiac, subtle immune dysregulation and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) cannot be ruled out. Your symptoms and lab pattern could still fit with an immune-mediated or inflammatory trigger for Ménière’s flares. Borderline nutrient deficiencies (folate, protein) may affect inner ear function or neuronal stability, indirectly exacerbating symptoms. Nutrient absorption issues might stem from subclinical GI inflammation, dysbiosis, or food sensitivities. 💬 Suggested Talking Points for Consultant Could a functional immune or inflammatory mechanism be driving Ménière’s in the absence of overt autoimmunity? Does a trial of immunomodulatory therapy (e.g., steroids, antihistamines) make sense if flares persist despite dietary changes? Would referral to a GI specialist or dietitian be appropriate, given borderline folate, protein, and symptom profile? Continue gluten-free diet trial for 4–6 weeks to assess symptomatic improvement, even in absence of celiac serology. Explore possibility of non-IgE food sensitivities or mast cell activation, especially if symptoms are episodic and food-triggered.
