newly diagnosed, questions questions, questions

[Guest guest]

Hello. I was recently diagnosed (as in, got the word yesterday) and have already acquired quite a bit of information toodling around the web. What I'm not seeing, however, is practical information for someone with celiac who shares a home with others. I live with my husband and two children (ages 4 & 7). One of my big questions is whether or not it's ok for me to prepare food containing gluten for my kids - pastas, toast, cereals, etc. I imagine having wheat flour flying around the kitchen is a big no; but do I need to avoid all contact with gluten? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Also, are there real live support groups in San Francisco that anyone could recommend? Any other advice for this newbie would be greatly appreciated, as well!

Thanks so much,
