I bet there are.  I found one by googling something like "Celiac support group Kansas city".  Of course you might want to substitiute something for the "KC".  :D

 

 

This is from the main page but I'm not sure how up-to-date it is:

That's actually good to know! I have a friend that moved to NYC for a job, so my friends and I will probably be visiting him soon! Whenever I go on vacation I look up restaurants in the area using 'findmeglutenfree' it's been very helpful. Do you have any recommendations for restaurants in NYC? We could be visiting him as early as next month.

You asked the right person! My friend and I made this gluten-free map of restaurants in NYC. However, when I give it out to people, I let them know that I have not tried or contacted all of the restaurants myself, so I don't know about their individual precautions for cross-contamination. When you pick one of them, definitely give them a call and ask :)

Personally my favorite is Bistango. Pala is great as well. It all depends on what neighborhood you're it. Let me know if you have any questions! :)

Whoa! You weren't kidding! I clicked on it and a bunch of restaurants came up. This is awesome, thank you! Hmm, I don't know NYC very well at all. I couldn't even tell you where we were, really. I know last time we were there we hit Central Park and the museum of Natural History. (both were awesome!) so I guess restaurants around that vicinity, and nearby the train station would be the most helpful. Are there any IN the train station? That would be awesome too. I haven't been to NYC since my diagnosis. 

 

I'm at work now, (teehee) so I'll probably have to wait until I get home to really dig into all of these restaurants. If I can't find a gluten free menu, I usually email them for the menu/more information. Thanks for the help!

Oh no, when you go to NYC do not eat at the train station - there are waaaayyyy too many amazing restaurants in the city!

 

I know of a few good restaurants on the Upper West Side, but they may be a little pricey. Depends on what you're looking for. But if there's a restaurant you really want to try, it would only be a subway ride away. Good (& safe) food is worth it  ;)

      Lots of tests

      By trents · Posted

      Was a biopsy done when you had your gastroscopy? Concerning your anemia, are you B12 deficient? It's nearly impossible to get sufficient B12 if you are a vegetarian unless you take supplements.

      And I’m anaemic, however I’m also female and vegetarian. I had an iron trans a couple of years ago however it’s starting to dwindle and taking supplements doesn’t seem to work. I can’t seem to absorb it.

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.
