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.

      I’m so confused…

      Thank you. I already cut out dairy and eggs because I found out I was having a problem with them. To be honest I’m just getting worn out 😂

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Deanne jones · Posted

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail,  I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however,  the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I have an appointment with the consultant early April probably followed by another endoscopy, as far as I’m aware I have not been tested for vitamin B and will definitely discuss it with the doctor on my next visit.

      Being a burden to family/friends

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another.   If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on.  They're just not ready to learn that lesson.  But you confidently keep going on your journey.  They can catch up later.

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start feeling better soon.

      Recipe Apps?

      By lmemsm · Posted

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances.  It's a web site but there's also an app.
