I am looking for a support group somewhere in the area between Frederick, Md. and Harrisburg, PA. Those places would be the ultimate distance.

I live in southern PA - about a half hour from the Maryland border.

Thanks for info. :)

Hey

I'm near Frederick and myself as well as a friend of mine have been thinking of putting together a celiac group around the area so maybe we could all get together.

There is a support group in Gettysburg, PA that meets twice a year and has a meeting coming up on November 7th, I believe. We have about 40 people and the chairwoman contacts numerous gluten-free companies and gets an awesome abundance of gluten-free samples. I usually come home with several shopping bags of free food. Meetings are on Monday nights. There is also a group that meets in York twice a year, but theirs is on a Friday night. Since they are much larger (100+), they are able to get some great speakers to come in, i.e. Dr. Fasano. Camp Hill, PA also has a group. If you want more information, just e-mail me: prock@pa.net

Another vote for the G-burg Support Group!

Hey Mom22, it's me Lauren, I finally found this site :)

Don't think I'll be able to make it to the next meeting because I have class in Philly that night... but I'm sure my Mom will be there in my place. The G-burg group really is great - they were my saviors when I was first diagnosed! I definitely recommend going to the upcoming meeting. Let me know if you have any questions.

Glad to see you found this site. Miss you and will catch you at the meeting in the spring, but will also send you an e-mail. I hope you are doing well and look forward to chatting with your mom. Take care!!

P.S. You won't believe how big the kids have gotten.

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
