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?

      How to keep water down?

      I'm a minor under my parents roof, and they absolutely refuse to take me to the ER for anything celiac related, and I do not trust myself to drive at the moment. I'll try to convince them once more, though, thank you for replying

      Get someone to take you to the local ER and get some IV fluids on board. You already are or are at risk for serious dehydration. If you have no one who can transport you or you are too weak to make the trip in a car, call 911.

      Hi, I don't know if this is the right topic, but I've been glutened and I'm having a horrible time trying to keep even a sip of water -or any liquid- down. I've gotten to the point of which I'm having dry-heaving episodes because there's nothing left to vomit, and it's incredibly painful and I'm so weak and lightheaded as a result. If I try even taking the...

I've gotten to the point of which I'm having dry-heaving episodes because there's nothing left to vomit, and it's incredibly painful and I'm so weak and lightheaded as a result. If I try even taking the tiniest sip of water, doesn't matter how long after I vomit, I start feeling nauseous and I no longer have the energy to try fighting keeping it down. Is there anything I can do to try keeping it down? I've taken prescribed zofran and dicyclomine already.

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      By PixieSticks · Posted

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.
