KIDS CORNER

The November 2006 Kids Corner meeting was a great success!  This month, we featured a gluten-free cereal exchange. One of the participants, Carter Merenstein, demonstrated how to make gluten-free granola and shared his delicious recipe with the group. Carter’s involvement at the Kids Corner meeting is part of his Bar Mitzvah project, aimed at helping others through community service. Carter has elected to focus on raising awareness of celiac disease.

Carter’s primary goal is to help children who are newly diagnosed with celiac learn how to cope with their disease and to adjust to their new gluten-free lifestyle. One of Carter’s key initiatives is to compile a booklet with tips and advice for parents and children with celiac.

Carter has been collecting information from parents of children with celiac on effective ways to deal with various events kids attend today. Most events revolve around food including school parties, birthday parties, weddings, holidays, and more.  Please send tips, advice, and celiac stories to: K_stranz@hotmail.com to assist Carter with his Bar Mitzvah project. Plans to distribute the booklet to parents throughout schools in Bucks and Montgomery Counties (PA) are underway.

To read Carter’s story, go to www.CeliacCentral.org. Select “Do I Have Celiac” and then select Personal Stories.

The Kids Corner (Celiac) Support Group meets the third Sunday of each month from 1:30-3:00 p.m. at Abington Memorial Hospital, Lenfest Pavilion, Cafeteria Area, Room G, Abington, PA. This support group provides information and support to parents and children with celiac disease.

For more information about the group, contact Susan Hyer at sphyer@comcast.net.
