Danna Korn founded R.O.C.K. in 1991 after her son, Tyler, was diagnosed with celiac disease. It has grown to international proportions, helping families all over the world deal with the unique challenges of raising a child on a gluten-free diet. When children are diagnosed with celiac disease at an early age, they usually have a severe intolerance to gluten, and are often extremely sick when ultimately diagnosed. Most parents share horror stories of visiting several doctors before finally arriving at a diagnosis, and are frustrated, exasperated, and angry, yet relieved to finally have a direction in which to turn. Sometimes it helps to talk about it, and it always helps to have some guidance when initially diving into the gluten-free diet.

By around 9 p.m., I noticed my stomach rumbling and I began to make many trips to the bathroom with diarrhea. In fact, it was the beginning of a month-long siege of severe diarrhea. Up until that day, I never had any problems with digestion, bowel problems, or food issues. But suddenly my life was changing. After about four days, I saw my family doctor who started me out with a course of Flagyl, which did nothing to stop the diarrhea over the ensuing week. Following that was my visit to the ER, only to be told to follow up the next morning with my family doctor. When I showed up without an appointment...

Celiac.com 11/12/2019 - People with celiac disease know that the battle to remain gluten-free requires constant vigilance, and most are thankful for any help they can get along the way. Still, most help is limited and scattershot.
Ever wonder what it would look like for a town or city to help people with celiac disease and gluten intolerance to have a normal social life? Well, it might look a bit like a plan unveiled recently by the City Council of Seville, Spain as part of a new health and welfare campaign designed to provide comprehensive information on gluten-free food options within Seville.
