I too am newly diagnosed along with my 19 year old daughter. We live in Simsbury, Hartford County and are looking for a support group also. Any help would be great.

Hi, I just got my official biopsy diagnosis for Celiac disease and want to start a support group in Simsbury and thereabouts. I have already met two people who are interested in meeting to share information, recipes, etc. I was thinking I would post a sign, if they will let me, in Avon's Garden of Light. Anyone out there interested?

There are support groups in CT- there is one that meets in Manchester, I have the email of one of the women who runs it if interested.

Hey all! I'm from South Windsor, and the Manchester group doesn't meet regularly. However, for the Simsbury crowd, I grew up there, and my Dad still lives in Avon, so I'm over there a few times a week. If you do get a group together, that's be great!

HI! I don't know if you are still looking to do this - but I live in West Hartford and work in Farmington. I would love to have a support group to work with. I was just diagnosed in the past month and need all the support I can gather.

      Scott, I know full well that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder and gluten sensitivity is not. And I agree that there is inconsistency in the use of the terms. But my contention is that "gluten intolerance" should not be used of NCGS since "gluten sensitivity" is actually found in the gluten disorder known as Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity and, therefore, "gluten intolerance" should be reserved as a common/nonmedical equivalent for celiac disease. It also seems to me that "intolerance" implies something more severe than does "sensitive". And it just seems to me that, though there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms, there is a movement toward using "gluten intolerant" to refer to celiac disease rather than NCGS. But that is just my opinion and perhaps, to be honest, a bit of a personal crusade. Actually, we would all be better off if we quit using the those informal terms "intolerance" and "sensitivity" and just speak of celiac disease and NCGS.

      Wow. I mean, I REALLY don't want to give up beer, but I NEVER cheat. I get caught (glutenized in my vernacular), but I never cheat. I didn't even know that was a thing...

      PS - Many new celiacs report that they can go gluten-free, with the exception of giving up beer. That seems to be a bridge too far from many celiacs, and may be why nearly 20% cheat on their diets:  
    • Scott Adams
      For those with celiac disease we know that there is a huge range in sensitivity, for example we've had many members here who report that even smelling wheat bread cooking in a bakery, for example a bakery in a supermarket, triggers an immediate gluten reaction that can last days or longer. Is there science to back this up--not that I've seen. Does this mean that it can't happen? Since it does seem to happen to some people, I can't say that there isn't something real happening to these folks.  Similarly there seems to be celiacs who can drink even regular beers, many of which have detectable gluten at under 20ppm, without issues, and many drink gluten reduced beers made from barley on a daily basis without issues, and without elevated antibodies or damaged villi. I also know that some celiacs report getting very sick from a single sip of gluten reduced beer. To be on the safe side it's probably best to stick with a naturally gluten-free beer, however, many of them lack the real beer taste, thus, some celiacs cheat on their diets and just drink regular beer. In this case I think having a choice is important, and drinking a gluten reduced option would be better than regular beer.
