I think the best place for me to share the celiac message is wherever
sick people gather looking for help.  I belong to a fibromyalgia support
list with over 1,000 members.  I post links to articles & my personal
experience with CD there as often as I can.  I always add an invitation
to e-mail me privately for more information under my signature line.
When they respond, I send them a letter I wrote about CD that contains
basic information & links to helpful websites, including this list, of
course.  I've gotten quite a few interested in investigating CD from my
postings.  (Some have joined us on this list!)
        I prefer the one-to-one approach myself.  It fits my personal style
better than any mass media approach.  I prefer to leave that kinda stuff
to people who don't mind the spotlight.  I've learned to be patient &
adopt the "planting seeds" attitude.  Once an idea has been planted into
someone's mind, it naturally needs time to grow & blossum.  I add
nourishment & water for this little seed to grow from time to time with
little tidbits of information.  It can take some people a year or more to
act on new information and even longer to commit themselves to a drastic
lifestyle change.  I can remember well the three people from the
fibromyalgia list encouraging me to look into celiac disease.  I think I
investigated the idea for about 9 months before I took action & got some
tests done & a few more weeks after testing to committ to the diet.

I send out, let me know. If the response is large enough I'll include it
in my summary.)
