Each day this month, I will be posting something about Celiac Disease.
Day 10:
Support is an incredibly important part of maintaining a gluten-free diet. It can be incredibly isolating, especially at the beginning. Many individuals have a hard time finding support from their friends and family. Support groups are a great way to connect with other individuals who have celiac disease.
There are two non-profit organizations that maintain networks of gluten-free/celiac disease support groups.
Celiac Sprue Association: (CSA) For a list of their support groups, you can click here.
Gluten Intolerance Group: (GIG) For a list of their support groups, you can click here.
There are others that are not part of a larger network, so if you can't find one in your area from CSA or GIG, continue searching to see what you can find.
Do you belong to a support group or are you involved with one in any way?
