The FrumCeliac project was conceived and started by Moshe and Sue, an Orthodox (frum) couple who keep to strict Kosher dietary laws, have children with celiac and had questions that dealt with issues like “How will my children ever be able to make Ha’Motzi”, “What about eating a shiur of Matzah on Pesach” and “Are there any GF products out there that have hashgacha” ?

In December 2006 Moshe consulted with Rabbi Mattisyahu Salomon the Mashgiach of Lakewood's Beth Medrash Govoha, as to whether a group like this should be started to help those in the frum community and those who may not be Orthodox but keep a Kosher diet, with celiac or should other generic celiac groups be used.

Rav Salomon suggested that a group that was dedicated to helping the celiac community as a whole and the Frum and Kosher in particular would be a great Kiliush Hashem and chesed. He then wished the endeavor much Bracha V’Hatzlocho and FrumCeliac was officially launched.

A group of parents with children who have celiac and those with celiac themselves gathered for a meeting where an outline was given about the direction of the group. A presentation was delivered and initially a group discussion board was posted, but not many people joined and the project did not pick up the traction it needed to reach across the United States and beyond. There were however a handful of people who have been assisting in this endeavor and the group is always looking for more volunteers.

B"H the traffic to the site picked up and there were a few who helped keep the initial site active. With the advent of the new site, we expect the reach of the FrumCeliac to go beyond North America and help those throughout the world.

If you’d like to help us in this endeavor, you are encouraged to write us and let us know. Please contact Moshe
