Previous Episode: I'm newly diagnosed and I'm angry, I'm frustrated, and I'm bitter.

Next Episode: Why do I still feel like crap if I'm eating 100% gluten-free?

Ahhhh...celiac support groups. There are a lot of them out there but it can be a mine field of bad info. So how do you find the good ones? Here's the email I received asking this very question:

"Hey Dude - my 24-yo daughter was just diagnosed with celiac. I just discovered your website and app and it looks super helpful. Do you know of any support groups specifically for young adults? She is doing a ton of research, but also is grieving, angry, overwhelmed, exhausted, and feeling really lousy. Tonight she told me she also wants to try the low FODMAP diet, and I'm not sure if that will make things harder while she gets used to a GF diet, or if it makes sense to do it right away. I'm rambling, but just wanted to say thanks for all your resources and blunt truths. "

Listen in for the answer. Well...my answer anyway.

Dude note: I had some microphone issues today so the quality is not quite up to par. I'll be sure to fix that before the next episode.
