Ii is good to learn, from Timothy Partridge's post, that the information
about this list has finally appeared in "Cross Grain" but it is a pity
that there are no details of kow to gain access. The UK Coeliac
Society were told all about us as soon as the list was announced. I,
personally, contacted them twice by phone and once by letter to provide
full details of how to access.
As some members will know, there are many parents of children with autism
(and perhaps some other conditions) who attempt to utilise gluten-free
diets to help their children. Unfortunately, the UK Coeliac Society is
not prepared to give dietary advice to anyone unless there is an official
diagnosis of coeliac diease.
No doubt there are excellent reasons for this conservative approach but,
to an outsider, it hardly seems the approach of a dynamic organisation
fighting for the improved health and welfare of its members or others
with severe difficulties.
