How to make gluten‐free friends: A quasi‐experimental study on the psychosocial benefits of celiac camps
Celiac camps effectively foster social integration and positive illness identity development. However, the short-term impact on HRQOL is complex and may reflect a challenging "re-entry" to daily life after a highly supportive experience. These findings highlight the benefits of celiac camps while stressing the need for longitudinal research to understand and optimize their long-term impact.
