Hi, I live near Asheville NC - but I don't have celiac disease, my daughter does. I just started a celiac support group in Hendersonville, though, and had a very good turn out. Where do you live? PM me if you want to chat.

Laurie:

I'm on the northeast coast. Edenton, NC. I love the Fresh Market in Hendersonville. We used to live in Landrum, SC for two years when my husband was flying out of Charlotte.

My girls (12 years ago) used to ride horses in Tryon. It is a beautiful place.

I am the one with Celiac and I can sympothize with parents who have children with celiac disease. You know, when it is you, you can handle it. As a parent of a celiac disease child and you are the cook/server, it must be a heavy burden.

I am thinking about getting a support group here. I know of three other people in our small town and I bet there are alot more. Maybe you could give me some pointers on a beginning.

Good to talk to another TarHeel.

Hi Lisa B:

Too bad we are on opposite ends of the state. I was able to start the support group through the hospital where I work. Someone in the community approached the hospital's community outreach center about starting a group. They needed someone inside the hospital to take a leadership role and of course I jumped at the chance. I've had alot of assistance from Marketing in getting the word out. I wrote a press release which marketing sent out. They helped me with designing a flyer and I distributed it to all the doctor's offices. They also did a short interview with me on the radio as part of their weekly program on events at the hospital. Since I'm a dietitian, I also get referrals from physician when they diagnose people with celiac disease, so I was able to reach those people directly to tell them about the support group.

If you want to start a group, you might approach your local hospital with the idea. Having the support group affiliated with the hospital really helped me get the whole thing going!

Lisa Mentor

That is a wonderful idea to link into the hospital. My "new Doc" is very active with the hospital and he could get me started.

I signed a release form today at his office to get the Gastro. Dr. records (that biopsy confirmed celiac disease) not quite sure that I have him on board yet. I am glad that he is questioning.

I would love to be there with you to watch the trees turn. Enjoy them for me.

I am celiac in Wilmington, NC. Have you heard of any fellow celiacs in this area. I have only been gluten free since Aug 2006 and really haven't found anyone to relate to.

Thanks for your help!

Have a Happy 4th!

It is so nice to hear of all of you in North Carolina. I often read this board and the information has been invaluable. I have been searching for others with celiac in the Wilmington area, so I was excited to see Mary Katherine's post. I am also in Wilmington and would love to chat and share ideas, restaurants, etc. I have been gluten free for three years. I just volunteered at Camp Kanata's gluten free week and the Raleigh area has some wonderful people who are active in the whole gluten free lifestyle and with different family members who have celiac disease. I'd love to hear from you.

Hi Susan: I live in Durham and was diagnosed 3 months ago tomorrow. Would love to communicate. I am an active senior citizen and this has really put a damper on my outdoor activities. Don't really know how to begin communications as I am just barely computer literate and am working my way through. As frustrated as I feel sometimes regards celiac, this forum surely does help.

I live in Clayton, NC (about 30 min SE of Raleigh) and I work in Raleigh.

Momma Goose, I wish I had been more active on this board a month ago...I was just on a weekend vacation in Edenton! It's certainly a lovely town. I was staying in the historic district just a couple blocks from the courthouse and the sound.

I'm also in NC if anyone wants to share favorite restaurants, etc. Try Biaggi's in Cary if you are near Raleigh as they have gluten-free pasta on the menu and a knowledgeable staff (I think it's www.biaggis.com) and the World's Best Carrot Cake in Asheville NC (chocolate gluten-free carrot cake, yum). Other options I've found are Bonefish Grille, Carraba's, Chick-Fil-A, and Outback.

My husband surprises me with orders from Foods By George (he orders online) sometimes - pricey but really good.

By the way, I recently discovered that I am having reactions to dairy as well...anyone else have this come on after being diagnosed celiac disease and going gluten-free?

lcmiller,

Welcome! Yes, it is often suggested that those who first go gluten free due to celiac/intolerance to go diary free as well. Dairy is absorbed on the tips of the villi which may have been damaged due to the gluten consumption.

Dairy may be introduced again once the villi are healed.

I was recently told that I have Celiac Disease and was wondering if you know of any Support Groups in Hendersonville, NC. Thanks

Hey Kwatts,

You are in the northwestern part of the state. I used to live about 20 minutes south of Hendersonville and loved the Fresh Market. Now, I live on the eastern part of the state.

I have included a list of support people in your area. They can direct you to where to shop and dine:

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
