Hi everyone!

I am hereby inviting everyone and anyone on these boards for a gluten-free get together.

I realize that it is just not that easy, but I feel as though there have been a lot of discouraged posters lately.

Let's cheer up, get together, and have some fun.

Depending on numbers is what I will plan.

I live in Niagara Falls, Canada - and am planning for a weekend in November.

Please PM me if you are interested!

RSVP as soon as possible!

Hi Lorka 150

This sounds like a really great idea!! It is really nice of you to offer to handle it all. I'm afraid that Maryland is too far to travel from, or I'd be there with bells on.

I hope the party works out. Have a great time :)

That sounds great! It would take me about 3 to 4 hours each way to drive to Niagara falls (depending on traffic), but it would be worth it. I have two weekends free in November, the weekend of the 12th and 13th, and the 19th and 20th. I hope that others will be interested as well, so it will work out, and that one of those weekends works for you and others.

I could probably stay over night at a friend's house in Cambridge on my way back, so I don't have to do it all in one day (I still haven't got much energy).

Thanks for inviting us.

Have fun. Claire

Great idea and so kind of you!

Unfortunately, Niagara Falls is way too far from the UK, so I'll have to decline, but I wish you well for the party. Let us all know how it goes.

Nikki :D

Oh, I wish I could, I'm only about 3 hours away but traveling is still a big trial for me. My ex-husband and I (legally seperated 15 years no divorce) are celebrating out 20th anniversary next week and I am nervous as hell about just driving 45 min. to Rochester for a coin show. I work on the celiac induced agorophobia issue daily so maybe if you do this again in the spring I can come. I would love to see Niagra Falls again and would love even more to be able to make freinds, something I haven't had since soon after I got sick. Thanks for the suggestion really, really, really wish I could.

I'm already driving up there next Saturday for a week. But you guys already know about that. So when I'm there from November 5th to 11th I won't come up another weekend. At the moment we try to get together one of the days I'm up there. We're talking about somewhere West of Toronto at the moment. And the offer's still there, that we all could meet. But it's still sweet, that you planned this.

Greetings, Stef

It's a great idea but bad time of year for me expensive plane fares etc., but maybe plan something for late spring somewhere. I am in Alberta.

      10 years later, my celiac is progressing

      I mostly eat healthy. My diet has varied over the past 10 years but mostly consisted of meals I cooked at home made from scratch. Ingredients I used over the years include (not in order): non-wheat grains such as teff, sorghum, millet, and eggs, butter, cheese, some milk, meat (poultry, red meat, but very little processed meat), gluten-free baked bread (mostly...

      Speculating on Benjamin Franklin's Health: Could He Have Had Celiac Disease?

      Not wholly sure what benefit there is to this kind of speculation. I also find it somewhat amusing that the author somehow grazed right past the rather well-known fact that Franklin was a lover of beer and ale and is reported to have been a home-brewer. Yard's Brewing, Philadelphia, even brews a modern iteration, based on Franklin's own recipe: Poor Richard...

      Hair loss

      It sounds like you're dealing with a complex situation, and I can understand how frustrating it must be not to have a clear answer. Gut health can indeed play a significant role in various aspects of our well-being, including hair health.

      Thiamine supplementation

      I have found similar benefits from thiamine. I was diagnosed with celiac at 16 and never really recovered despite strict gluten and dairy free diet and no detectable antibodies on checkup bloodworks. I’ve tried stopping the b1 but start to feel bad again- I wanted my doctors to do more extensive testing for the different thiamine transporters and enzymes w...

      As a side note, it seems that medical science has evolved in the past 5-6 years regarding Celiac Disease, and I am now catching up. It seems that anything that disrupts the microbiome sufficiently enough can--in genetically susceptible individuals--lead to Celiac Disease. I have been reading now that antibiotics, excessive simple carbohydrates such as refined sugars and starches, the manner of birth such as C-section vs vaginal delivery, the diversity of one's diet, the presence of certain bacteria or viruses, can all contribute to microbiome dysbiosis, which can lead to Celiac. This is fascinating research.

Ingredients I used over the years include (not in order): non-wheat grains such as teff, sorghum, millet, and eggs, butter, cheese, some milk, meat (poultry, red meat, but very little processed meat), gluten-free baked bread (mostly Canyon Bakehouse brand), vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, peanuts, chocolate (not in the past 6 months). However, the mistakes I made in my diet are that I consumed too much sugar and carbohydrates from gluten-free baked goods that I baked myself at home such as gluten-free dessert items, and also I ate pretty much the same exact meals over and over, so a great lack of diversity in what I ate. I got lazy. I think this messed up my microbiome. The meals I ate were mostly healthy though. I always made sure to eat vegetables and fruits on a daily basis.  I have checked for nutrient deficiencies over the years and I am sometimes low in Vitamin D. I started supplementing it after that. What concerns me is the progressive nature of the food intolerances, which indicates the gut is not healing and has been leaking all along.

I’ve tried stopping the b1 but start to feel bad again- I wanted my doctors to do more extensive testing for the different thiamine transporters and enzymes which would be a better indication if I was deficient or dependent on it but everyone dismisses it (there are know genetic mutations where you need to take it daily for life). I have looked into Thiamine Responsive Megablast Anemia and I have a lot of the more mild symptoms of the disease that manifest when thiamine isn’t given to the patient such as optic neuritis… I just find the parallels interesting. i think that celiacs could be a side issue of inflammation that resulted from vitamin deficiencies. I was eating a lot of sugar leading up to my diagnosis and since eating gluten free didn’t make me feel much better, I’m wondering if this was more the underlying issue (sugar heavily depletes b1). I usually take 1.5g thiamine a day.

      Thank you for your welcome and reply.  Yes I've been carefully reading labels looking for everything in bold and have been amazed by what I have seen. However Heinz tomato and basil soup is wheat free so I m thinking I already have ulcers?  The acid could be causing the pain . My pain always starts in one place then follows the same route through me . GP confirmed that is the route of our digestive system.  So much pain from stabbing to tearing. If I throw in milk with lactose it's horrific.  Many years of it now, won't go into details but been seeing a consultant for a supposedly different problem . Wondering what damage has been done over the years. Many thanks for your reply. Wishing you the very best.
