The Greater New Haven Celiac Group

The GNHCG Children's Group

Karen Stemler
Chair, Children's Group

The GNHCG Children’s Group has 60 families (and counting!) that have at least one child with celiac disease. The group is a subset of the Greater New Haven Celiac Group, the largest celiac support group in Connecticut. Members of the Children’s Group are also given a membership to the parent group (GNHCG) including all events and programs.

Our goals are as follows:

To provide support to parents of celiac children so they can successfully manage the culinary and social challenges faced when following the gluten-free diet. New members receive a binder filled with helpful information to help navigate the new lifestyle. Ongoing support is given through e-mail, newsletters and parents’ workshops. Advocacy and informal counseling is also available as needed.

To provide support to children and teens with celiac disease. This is accomplished by organizing various parties and events throughout the year. All food is gluten-free and the kids have fun with other children or teens with celiac disease. Review Our Just for Kids Events
