My daughter has celiac disease and we live in Goose Creek, SC.....Have you had any luck finding a support group in the area? I have not, but maybe we could get together.

Hi to those in the Charleston, SC area. I've been trying to find others with Celiac so that my daughter and I could start a support group. We live in N. Charleston, and would love to hear from anyone who would like to form a group.

Just drop me a line and we can set up a meeting.

Thanks,

Cathey

Have you guys found any gluten-free restaurants in Charleston or Columbia, South Carolina?

Hi,

I am new to this board. I had a blood test done last week and waiting for the results. My Neurologist is insisting that I have celiac disease, but my GI dr. is saying that he doesnt think so. I also have MS too. But I chose this board because I saw Chareltson SC. My husband is in the military and we are moving to Charleston in March 06. I was very happy to see that there is a support group for celiac disease in the local area. I would love to talk to ya'all about things. Thanks and I hope that ya'all have a wonderful day. Hope to hear from ya'all soon...

I would love to meet anyone in the charleston area with celiac. My 23 month old son was just dignosed and I am overwhelmed! I am trying to make sure he gets the correct foods and it is stressing me out. A support group is just what I need! Has anyone been to a meeting in this area? Are they helpful?

I talked to a lady at Earth Fare the other day and she said she thought there is a group in Charleston but she didnt have the info right there. I told her I would come back and check to see if she found it. I havent heard of anything else in this area.

maybe we should start one @ Whole Foods in Mt. Pleasant since they have a lot of gluten-free items.

My sons dr just refered us to the dietician from St. Francis listed in this thread. I am going to try to make an appt w/ her next week or the first of the following week. The dr. did mention that she had a celiac support group. If I find out any more information about the groups after meeting w/ her I will post it.

I am new to Charleston and looking for a good GI doctor. I have not been tested to confirm I have celiac disease, but my Mom and brother both have the disease and I have a strong suspicion I do as well. If anyone can recommend a doctor with experience dealing with celiacs in the Charleston area, I would appreciate it.

thanks!
