Does anyone have a contact for R.O.C.K. in Orange County, CA? I e-mailed both of the contacts on the list that's on this site but neither of them have answered back. I would really like to get my daughter involved with other celiac disease kids! Thanks for any help!

I see there is a support group in Barstow CA and am wondering if any of these folks live in the Victorville/Apple Valley/Hesperia area. I am in Apple Valley and would like to get together with other gluten-sensitives closer to home than Barstow. -Alliemat

Hi Smith,

Did you find a group in Hollywood? I'm in Hollywood! Would love to hear of something nearby.

Alliemat!!!

I'm right in your area, AV and VV. Barstow had a fantastic meet last week. Wish you had been there. But I agree, it would be great to have one more local, especially since they would more than likely have to be in the evening (and who wants to drive the I-15 at night). Email me and maybe we can start something.

Sarabi7...I'm from Fresno. I'm newly diagnosed and havn't been able to find any support group, so I was hoping to find a group on this website where we can at least post back and forth with each other.

      Celiac for dummies

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
