========================= Internet
1. Celiac LISTSERV discussions have been enlightening since November. The
best comparison of the benefits is to associate the LISTSERV with the
interface and rewards that are obtained by attending a local support group
meeting. The International flavor is opening doors on the differences in
products and diet requirements around the world and should simplify travel for
celiacs. Since the LISTSERV is unmoderated, comments about the GF status must
be reviewed in a similar manner to recommendations from suppliers.
2. The medical input by Dr. Joseph Murray (GI, University of Iowa) and Dr.
Ivor Hill (Ped GI, University of Maryland) is giving everyone a comprehensive
understanding of problems associated with CD. The information is not personal
medical advice, but the details can be taken to your personal physician for
use in determining an appropriate course of medical action.
3. Commercial Internet Services: There are many ways to access Internet.
Based upon your needs and usage, the price can vary greatly. These services
have targeted the home user as part of their membership. Other choices are
available and a good starting place is to ask the advice of your local
Computer User Group.
