Lorlyn, I still haven't found a Celiac Support Group, although a sign was posted at Organic Harvest last year asking if any of their patrons were interested in starting a group, but nothing seemed to come of it. Have you been to the new Whole Foods store yet? Please let me know if I can be of any help! Sherry

Hi, Radgirl, I lost a significant amount of weight after I went gluten-free, as I was eliminating all the junk food I'd been eating, and learning to eat healthy! Within a couple of months, my body adjusted to the diet, and my weight stablilized. Even though I remain strictly gluten-free, I have to monitor my weight closely (I've always had weight issues...

Welcome, Vicki! The best advice I can give you is to read, read, read everything you can on the gluten-free diet! This site has a wealth of information, and there are many books available, too, that can assist you make safe choices. When I first started the gluten-free diet eight years ago, I was afraid to "branch-out" and try new foods, and opted to stay...

Dee, I've been experiencing some intermittent ataxia (balance problems) for the past several years too, and have addressed it with several of my physicians. I get tired of trying to laugh it off (I've gotta stop drnking before noon, etc) when others make comments! There's been some recent research on the neurological effects of Celiac disease that some people...

Barbara, I'm thrilled you finally got some definitive answers! There's nothing more frustrating that to know something's wrong, and not get any answers from the health care professionals!!! I've been gluten-free for 7 years now, but was originally mis-diagnosed with Crohn's for over 10 years! I, too, am going through some health "issues" right now, with...

ARCHIVED Possible Dairy Problem
sherryGF replied to Samanthasmomma's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I definately think that it would be wise to leave off the dairy products for now, until your small intestine heals further. I've been gluten-free for 7 years, and until the past 6 months, had never had any problem with dairy foods! However, testing shows that I have an immune response to casein, so I've had to give up dairy, which is at least as difficult... -
Hi, my name is Sherry, and I live in Hoover, AL. I'd LOVE to see a Celiac support group started soon! I've been gluten-free for 7 years now, but was sick with what was mis-diagnosed as Crohn's disease at least 10 years prior to that! I am very used to the diet, but now can't "do" dairy or soy anymore without getting sick! Please feel free to contact me about...

Shawn, have you had your Ferritin level checked? I stay uncomfortably cold, too, and suffer from poor iron storage. At the time of my Celiac disease diagnosis 6 years ago, I had microcytic anemia, since iron is poorly absorbed through the damaged intestinal mucosa. After several iron infusions, my hematocrit stayed stable, until recently, when my ferritin...

Mandy, I'm right there with you today! I'm seldom sentimental, or particularly nostalgic, but at Thanksgiving, food is such an integral part of the celibration! I've been gluten-free for over 6 years now, and have certainly "gotten-over" the cravings and the desire for the junk food I used to eat, but for me, it's just not Thanksgiving without dressing! My...
