My Granddaughter lives in Palm Beach and she has Celiacs. It would be nice for her to meet other kids with Celiacs. Any groups out there for kids? Thanks, Linda

Actually, I believe there are summer camps for celiac kids in some places.

Yes, she is going to a camp this summer for Celiac kids but I was really hopeful to find some other kids in the town she lives in. Thanks for taking the time to reply! Linda

Perhaps the camp will lead to fruitful contacts.

Does she live far from you? Is there a possibility that her parents could start a local support group for her age group?

Yes, we are hopeful that she will meet kids at camp from her area. I will speak to her Mom about starting a support group. I do live about 4 hours away so not close enough that I know the area or am able to help with a getting a support group going.

If this is Palm Beach, FL I would think there is a large enough population base in the general area to make it a reasonable undertaking. There have to be many other celiacs in her age group. How old is she?

      Refractory Coeliac Disease research to reduce anxiety

      By MelissaClinPsyD · Posted

      A confirmed diagnosis of refractory coeliac disease is required to participate in the study unfortunately. Apologies you are feeling miserable even though you have remained gluten-free, I hope you are able to receive further understanding as to why from the relevant medical professional. I am hoping to provide copies of the content used in this study following its completion end of this year so will make a note to post on here when the study is complete, a copy of the resources used from the group.

      Do you think it’s a vitamin issue that could make celiac symptoms worse during recovery ?

      Multivitamin products are seldom potent to offset the vitamin and mineral deficiencies that typically result from long term undiagnosed celiac disease. We commonly recommend sublingual B12, a B-complex 5-10k IU of D3, 400 mg daily of magnesium glycinate, and zinc picolinate. The forms of certain vitamins like magnesium and zinc are important since it has a significant impact on absorbability. If you live near a Costco, the Kirkland Signature series and Nature Made lines are good quality choices and economical. And they will indicate on the packaging if they are gluten free.

      Are you addressing possible/probable vitamin and mineral deficiencies through some serious supplementation?
