So I am looking to make new friends in the Santa Cruz/San Jose area or nearby who have celiac because I think it would be great for the moral support. I'm also looking for some single gluten free ladies in the area. Lol. Let me know who is in this area and it would be great to meet you.

Well, I'm not super-close to you, but I live in Martinez in the East Bay. You know, if you check out Meetup.com, there are a number of celiacs who meet up on a regular basis. We oftentimes meet at Mariposa Bakery in Oakland.

Hey, was wondering how you were doing. I live in SJ (Willow Glen neighborhood) & work up by 237 & 880.

Are you in Santa Cruz or live/work SC/SJ?

My bf and I live in San Jose near Los Gatos, and work in central San Jose. We have thought of putting together a celiac support group. Maybe this could the beginning of one?? Like many others here we also have other food sensitivities too. We are both involved in the creative arts and recently hypnotherapy.

That sounds like a great idea and I would be willing to attend this if you make it happen. Is anyone else out there in our area that might want to begin meeting up monthly perhaps?

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
