Hi, my daughter was diagnosed three weeks ago w/celiac disease and I'm interested in finding a support group near us. Any information would be very helpful. Thanks.

im from South Florida the Fort Lauderdale area , and don't know of any but if you find any let me know. Good luck to both of you. It can be a little difficult at first but not so bad once you the get the hang of the diet. :)

I am not sure how close any of these are to you but I know I have to drive over an hour away to get to the one closest to me (in GA). I hope this helps you.

      It can take longer than 6 months for antibodies to drop to the normal range,  My DGP IgA took a few years as I got stricter and stricter about being gluten free  But having symptoms again could also mean you’re getting some gluten in your diet.

      Hi, I just had my 6 month check after being diagnosed Celiac 6 months ago.  All of my panel numbers were normal except: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA (It is 31 with high being over 30)  I have also been having symptoms again. Am I not actually being as careful as I think I am or does it take longer than 6 months for this particular test to come back down?  I can't get ahold of my doctor this week as she is out.     Thank you!
    • Scott Adams
      That is very strange, because it looks to me like two very different test results, but for the same test! It's definitely time to contact your doctor for clarity on this.
    • Redanafs
      Same day which is strange to me. 
    • JForman
      Scott, thank you SO MUCH for this!! She has been through so much in the last three years as we've tried to track down answers. This language will definitely help me help her to reframe.
