Looking for Support Group

I am looking for a group of tweens/teens with Celiac for my daughter to join. She is currently 11 yo and diagnosed with Celiac Disease 6 months ago. She is responding very well to the gluten-free lifestyle, but social situations are challenging. It would be terrific for her to have a group of people her age to share experiences, stories and gluten-free-strategies. We live in the Atlanta area.

I do not know of a group near Atlanta, but I would recommend looking into a celiac camp for this summer.  She might meet lots of "local" kids.  There is one in Warm Springs, GA.  Starts right after school gets out.   Here is more information:

You might check with the Children's Hospital.  Some of them have support/social groups for kids with food allergies.  I would think the issues would be similiar to Celiac

      Is AG1 safe for Celiacs??

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
