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.

      Oral thrush question

      Hi Everyone, I do appreciate your replies to my original post. Here is where I am now in this journey. I am currently seeing a Naturopath. One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD. My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow. She has put me on some digestive enzymes...

      Oral thrush question

      Hi @JulieRe. I just found your post. It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida. I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment. In the meantime, I have been working with a functional...

      Advice while waiting for testing

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct r...

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
