My son who,is thirteen, has celiac disease and was diagnosed at two years old. I would like to join a support group but there is none in my area. Also, I would like for my son to meet some teens that have celiac. Does anyone know if there is a group around Marlton,Medford or Mt. Holly, NJ? Please let me know. :mellow:

Lorraine, Did you ask the CSA where, if any, are the CSA sponsored support groups in your area? It should be on their website.

There is a group that meets monthly (except July & August) at

Virtua/West Jersey Hospital in Voorhees.

We are the CSA Southern New Jersey Chapter #9.

Here is our website link (I hope it goes thru):

Open Original Shared Link

Our Nov. 6th meeting will be our Thanksgiving coverdish.

My contact information is on the website also.

Dr. Verma also has a children's group that meets the second

Sunday of each month. I believe they alternate between

the Voorhees hospital and Children's Hospital in Phila.

She will be sending me information about her next meeting which

I'll post to this site.

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.

      I seem to recall that my digestive issues actually started when I was taking NSAIDs c. February 2013 for some unrelated condition.  My stomach got so sore during that time I went to see my GP and she thought it might be an ulcer or gastritis so prescribed me Omeprazole.  That appeared to trigger diarrhea which, once I came off the Omeprazole, did not stop.  I went back to the doctors after a few weeks, and that finally led to my coeliac diagnosis, after months of unexplained neurological symptoms, low ferritin and anxiety,which did not seem to have a cause but of course we later realised was all down to coeliac disease. I occasionally take a very small aspirin for a sick migraine which sometimes only responds to aspirin, but it usually leaves me with sore stomach a few days later. I've been told co-codamol is another medication I could take with a sensitive stomach. I was once prescribed it, to use for just a few days. It is not an NSAID, but it contains codeine, which I understand can be addictive so should be used with care.  It can also cause constipation.

      I also take Paracetamol. I haven't taken an NSAID in years since being diagnosed with UC. The can cause UC flares.

      Welcome to the forum, @jessysgems! How does this affect you? What do you do to address it. Do you have to get up and consume something sweet?
