I run a Celiac Meetup group on Meetup.com, though it's been a while since I organized a get-together. Here's the link, if you're interested! Open Original Shared Link

I just wanted to let everyone in the Seattle area know that I'm starting a local group for Celiacs in the area. You can PM me, or find the group on meetup.com, or even post here if you're interested!

The wonderfully designed calendar on this website has an event listed for tomorrow: "Our next meeting will be a picnic on June 27th in Sequim at the Sunny Shores Beach Club Cabana on Serpentine Ave. It is very easy to find and will be a wonderful venue for our gluten free feast and bright sunny day of friendship and food. GIG will supply the burgers...

This is very helpful! I'm going to be in the Cincinnati area to visit the in-laws for the 4th of July. Does anybody have any good recommendations for places to dine out in the area, too?

On April 18th, 2009, I attended a friend's wedding across the country. Halfway through the flight home on the 19th (a Sunday), I was miserable. I had stomach pains, and they seemed to be mostly in the lower right section of my abdomen. I thought: Oh god, it's my appendix. Oh god, what if it ruptures?

So I was only diagnosed yesterday, though almost two weeks ago my doctor called and said the blood test was positive, and that it might be Celiac.

And I remember thinking how different he looked in scrubs and a mask than in his usual white lab coat. I woke up after the procedure, and they asked me what I wanted to drink. I was very out of it, and...

So I was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Recent as in I just got the results of my endoscopy this morning, but I've seen it coming for a little over a week and a half since the doctor said that's what it might be, and done my best to stick to a gluten-free diet in the mean time, using all the resources the internet has to offer (since, I'm now waiting...

Hi! I'm new to the board, and new to the Gluten-free lifestyle. The doctor told me I might have Celiac Disease last monday, and test results came in and confirmed this as of this morning (though I'd been doing my best to eat gluten-free in the meantime). I live in Downtown Seattle (as the name implies), and I have only just begun my search for appropriate...
