Would like to get an idea of those that would be interested in starting a support group in the area for surrounding towns? Chelmsford, Westford, Lowell, Billerica, Bedford, Nashua and so many more ......

All ideas and suggestions would also be helpful for creating and running such a group.

How to get printed information donated, centralized meeting place that would be free to use, special speakers, maybe cooking/baking classes....

So many questions not yet thought of.

I'm new to my own personal experience, but have watched and listened to my mother and what she goes thru for the past 17 years. I'm just glad to have found out early, she unfortunately had progressed quite far before being diagonsed. Even now - the slightest thing affects her, she is also lactose intolerant.

Hi All

You can count me in. I live in Bedford, MA

I can look into getting the meeting room at Middlesex Bank in Bedford, for no charge.

Keep me posted,

Hi,

My name is Bev and I would also be interested in forming a new support group. I am located in Manchester NH, but travel to MA for work. Have heard other support groups are useful for sharing resources (ie: the multitude of cook books and references that are important during those first few months) and for being able to buy in bulk to offset the costs of some of the gluten free items.

      Hello, I was very stick,  with flu like symptoms, but my virus panel came back negative and we couldn’t figure out what’s going on. The doctor then added a celiac panel.  Has anyone ever had such a dramatic change?  What are the odds this is true celiac I am going to have an endoscopy, but it’s expensive and I just feel like why can’t the labs be enough?

      Eating out in general is full of risks, but this article may help:

      This kind of question is always difficult to give a definitive answer to because of so many variables. One such variable is the sensitivity of the individual celiac to small amounts of gluten cross contamination. An amount that causes a reaction in one celiac many not in another, or at least not be discernable which, of course, does not exactly equate to being "safe".

      I don't live in the US, but based on this thread, I wouldn't risk it:   https://www.reddit.com/r/glutenfree/comments/1n2ehw8/cracker_barrel/   This app is helpful: https://www.findmeglutenfree.com/

      I see that Cracker Barrel restaurants have a gluten free menu (not all locations, but one confirmed that they do). I was wondering if it is safe for my 5 year old son with celiac disease?
