I live in Morris County in New Jersey, and I've been thinking of joining a celiac disease support group. Anyone know of any in the area?

Dear Newo: There used to be a CSA sponsored support group in your county (Dover Hospital I believe) but thye totally disbanded in early 2004.

I am in northern Union County and would like to join a group or have someone help me start a group but in this area. As you are aware, traveling in North Jersey is terrible during rush hour and a simple 30 minute on a Sunday trek is over an hour during rush hour. So any group I get involved in has to be close. Where are you in Morris County?

The next closest group is the New Brunswick area or North Brunswick ---- it doesn't matter as this too is an hour or more drive at 5-6 PM.

I live in Jefferson Township. Its some of Oak Ridge and Lake Hopatong. I would be interested in starting a group but I have no idea about how someone would. Thanks for telling me about the group in New Brunswick but I'm not driving yet and my mom has 4 other kids to get places, so I don't think I could.

If I hear of one in your area I'll let you know, better yet go to CSA's website (Celiac Sprue Association) and see if they list known support groups in NJ. They did last I checked. Maybe there's a re-formed group in your area.

I know where Jefferson Twsp is. Maybe was there once/twice in my life. Do you know of any other celiacs in school?

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
