I'm another Raleigh-ite :)

Momma Goose, we had some friends that used to live in Edenton. It's beautiful there. I grew up in southeastern VA, Suffolk. It's about a hour to Edenton (if I remember) and about an hour and a half to the OBX. I miss being so close to the ocean...

Yup, that would be us. :D PM me about your friends, perhaps we know them. Raleigh really is a small town, you know. We send our kids to go to school there and they never want to leave. Well, some appreciate "home".

Where do your kids go to school?

When I first moved here from Suffolk, I though this place was HUGE!! But my husband and I have been here 4 years now and doesn't seem so big anymore. It's big enough for me... of course everything is very compartmentalized, so you really never have to go more than 5 miles from your home if you don't want to. I have two groceries within walking distance, a drug store and a gym... along with quite a few eateries. What else do you need? lol

Your kids will appreciate home as they get older. It probably seems small to them now, but there's nothing quite like home. :)

Those living in Hendersonville, NC- I am the manager at Potenza, an italian restaurant downtown, and we just started a gluten-free menu that includes pastas. My younger brother has celiac so I know how difficult it can be to go out to eat. I am not trying to shamelessly promote my restaurant but I do want to let people know that there are options out there and more and more people are becoming aware of celiac disease. I would love feedback on what peoples needs are when they are dining out.

Hi,

I live in Cary and have been gluten free for at least 3 months. My husband has a gluten intolerance and I highly suspect I do as well. I have no proof, except I feel a lot better! I do have 2 genes for celiac/gluten intolerance. I also have a sister who diagnosed herself with Celiac. We both had the enterolab test. The results were very surprising to us.

I want to let you Raleigh area people know there is a Celiac group that meets once a month at Rex hospital. It's the third thursday of each month. There will be a break for a month and then start back up July 17.

Yes, I was there. I was on the end of the table. I have brown, below the shoulder hair. I had a brown sweater and an olive green shirt. I was a little late and sat next to the new lady in pink.

Ah yes, I was new, sitting at the other end of the table, short hair and a blue tank top.

Hi-

Just chiming in, I live in Matthews, south of Charlotte. There is an active Charlotte celiac group that I have not been able to meet with yet.

Has anybody been to the Celiac Cookie House in Cornelius? I am trying convince myself to make the drive. I have been sugar-free, dairy-free, egg-free for 4 months and am not sure I feel comfortable introducing those items again. I went gluten-free in Jan. after many years of being sick.

Hi all-

My name is Brandy and I just met Amy at the mall today and she was talking about the rex group. My daughter is 6 and we found out she had celiac when she was 3ish. I have been looking for others around so I am so interested in the rex group. We live in Holly Springs. Can you give me all the info as to where the group meets and the time. I know the next meeting is tonight and I hate that I wont be able to make it. But hopefully I can make the next one. Thanks so much and its so nice to know there are others around going through the same stuff. I can't wait for Kendall to get home from school so I can tell her about the group!!!! :D :D :D :D

Well, I got all excited seeing Holly Springs at first... There is a little town called Holly Springs that's just a hop, skip, and a jump from us- We live in Pilot Mountain/Pinnacle. I have two boys, ages 5 and 7. But then I remembered there's a bigger town called Holly Springs down near Raleigh. I bet that's the one you're referring to... Oh well. There are a handful of Raleigh members here, so others should chime in soon! :D

Hi everyone :)

I live in Jacksoneville, NC and have celiac disease. I have just recently heard of more people who have or know someone who has celiac disease or wheat allergies. It seems to be becoming much more well known, which I find pretty cool. Our local stores actually have a few gluten-free products in them!

Anyway, I just wanted to throw myself out there :D

I am also in Wilmington and would love to meet other celiacs in the area. I was just diagnosed this week.

Holly

I live in Kure Beach and am in Wilmington every day. I know of one other celiac in the area. I am sure there are many more. We were talking about getting a gluten free dinner club together. Any interest?

Kristyn,

I am not from Rocky Mount, but I'm not far. Do you have a Food Lion, if so they have a health food section which carries Pamela's Cake Mixes. Make them as you would a regular cake and I would dare anyone to tell the difference. Pillsbury Frosting often has gluten free choices, you just have to read the label. Wal Mart has many options for gluten free. It's out there, ya just have to find 'em.

The best support you will find in your area is right here on C.com.

For anyone in Jacksonville, NC, White Oak Bakery makes gluten free cakes and cookies. You need to call and special order and they are expensive. However, I got a gluten-free cake for my son and it was wonderful. He was so happy to eat cake with everyone else. It brought tears to my eyes!

Hello. I am new to this board, but have been gluten-free/CF for about 3 years. My son (11) was recently diagnosed as likely having celiac disease, although he has been gluten-free off and on for about 3 years. We are looking for a support group, particularly one where he might be able to meet some other kids his age because he is really struggling with being "different." We are located in Lumberton, south of Fayetteville.

Dear Lisa B.,

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!

Mary Katherine Talley

There is a relatively new support group that is held and Lovey's once a month. I have only been to one meeting, but there were a several people there. They have a sign-up sheet there at the information table right when you come in next to the cafe seating.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10). Since then it has gone up to 10. I am not happy with that.

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer. Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks...

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.
