Children's Hospital in Boston runs a support group. They seem to hold a number of their events in the western suburbs. For example, there was a holiday party at Brandeis in Waltham, and I think that their next meeting (on April 1) is going to be in Waltham as well.

617-355-2127 or email: Celiacsupportgroup@childrens.harvard.edu

Also, there is a great store in Needham, A New Leaf, which has an extensive gluten free selection. The owner will also special order products for you.

Hi - re: Children's Hospital celiac support group. All meetings are held at Children's Hospital in Waltham (it used to be Waltham/Weston Hospital). They hold meetings four times a year with a summer party and a holiday party. We've been to one meeting so far and found it to be very helpful. There's a speaker (on April 1, the topic is siblings and how they are impacted by celiac) and a kids room with crafts, activities and movies and, of course, lots of gluten free food. The next meeting is on April 1 - 2 to 4pm. You need to be a member and they also send out a newsletter every few months.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
