hey everybody... I am in Raleigh, NC. Diagnosed Celiac in June. I see the calendar posting for a Raleigh Support Group meeting at Rex Hospital on 9/19 at 7pm. anyone plan on attending? Also, I dont want to get dinged for self promotion, but if anyone is interested in a blog about being gluten-free in Raleigh, feel free to check my profile for the link. I am writing about my experiences (grocery stores, restaurant reviews, etc...). Not selling anything just want to help. Have a great day everyone!

Beth in NC - I really like my doctor and he found my issue quickly. I know it takes most people a long time to get diagnosed but after one meeting with me he found my issue with a quick blood test. I would consider him a good doctor and would definitely refer him to others. start to finish, he found my issue in about 1 month total.
I have been to the dietitian 1 time (had to buy a package of 3 visits). the first visit was really simple stuff that I had already known (like you said). if you have google, you can find it out. i think the next 2 visits will be better though... i plan on writing about this whole experience on my blog of course. with the next 2 visits, the plan on measuring my metabolism to get a resting rate and then let me know what i should be eating. right now (as i heal from being gluten-free) i am always really hungry so i eat constantly. also, i was able to convince my employer (a rather large one in the area) to change our insurance policy to pay for these services!
maybe i will see you at the meeting at Rex.
hope you like my blog and feel free to check back for updates or let me know anything for ideas that could help others.
