Connect - Here Are Some Helpful Sites

You are not the first person with celiac disease so why re-invent the diet? Get connected to others who have gone though what you are going through. There are national organizations dedicated to celiac disease awareness. Their mission is to make people aware of celiac disease in order to
identify those who have symptoms but no diagnosis. Some of these organizations have local chapters and volunteers who organize local support group meetings for social and educational events.

Here are the links to some of these organizations. This is not a comprehensive list but a starting point to help you possibly find a resource near or accessible to you:
