I'm in Chelmsford - I'm wondering if there are any support groups in this area?

Just officially diagnosed with Celiac, have wondered if I might be for a while - no real major symptons - just accaisonal ones, my mother has been dealing with it for about 17 years. I also was started on Type 2 Diabetes oral medication to help keep the blood sugar down and not progress to higher levels. My research has only shown links to Type 1. I requested that my PC doctor run the antibody tests to rule out Celiac - which lead me to be further tested by endoscopy biopsy. So this is my new journey for life.

Hey neighbor!!!! I'm actually in Lowell. As far as I know there really aren't any support groups in this area...but there are some in Newton I believe. I have to go digging through old emails to find it though :-)

Hi Jami - I'm Liisa - I know there are more people in the area that are dealing with Celiac - maybe it's time to start one around here. But I wouldn't know the first thing about how to go about doing so.

I'd like to get an idea of those that might be interested in participating.

If anyone has any ideas, suggestions, where to get material to share, etc.....

thanks in advance

Hi
I am in Bedford. Diagnosed with Celiac 4 years ago by Dr Catherine Cheney of Beth Israel. I am interested in starting a local group.

Lets all put our heads together,
