<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi to all my new celiac friends, Thank you so much for all the response about which Support Groups you use. I had 60 responses! Most everyone suggested you get involved in a local support group and I have since found one about 2 hours from me. I plan to be in touch with them. The lady in charge of the group has been very helpful. In addition to the three groups I asked about, some of you gave helpful information about some additional resources. Please find the summary (which I hope isn't too long) below: 1) CSA/USA - By far this group got the most votes. It is a national group and has over 150 chapters in the USA. The group publishers a newsletter and a book of safe food can be purchased for $8.00. The group also holds an annual conference. On the other hand, some thought their material to be outdated and the group to be over-cautious The address is: CSA/USA PO Box 31700 Omaha, NE 68131 2) Celiac Disease Foundation ranked 2nd. It also publishes a quarterly newsletter. Some folks felt it was more concerned with people in its location. The address is: Celiac Disease Foundation 13251 Ventura Blvd., Suite 1 Studio City, California 91604-1838 3) TCCSG was 3rd. As a part of its membership, you get a shopping guide listing safe foods. If you don't want to join, you can still buy the book for $10.00. They also publish 8-9 newsletters each year (20pp.) The membership is pro-rated throughout he year. If you don't want to join, you can still get their newsletter at http://www.enabling.org/ia/celiac/#nws1 The address is: TCCSSG 34638 Beechwood Street Farmington Hills, MI 48335 4) GIG - Gluten Intolerance Group 15110 10 Ave. SW Suite A Seattle, WA 98166 This group produces a quarterly newsletter and product list. They also have a wonderful annual camp for children. 5) Gluten Free Living Newsletter by Ann Whealan was also mentioned - 6 issues $29.00 Address: Gluten Free Living PO Box 105 Hastings-on-Hudson, NY (no zip given) You can write to her at [log in to unmask] or go to her Website http://www.celiac.com/contacts2.html#0 6) The INTERNET was sited by some to be the best and cheapest place for information http://www.geocities.com/ Gluten free food site http://www.glutenfreegrocery.com/ To find a local support group: http://www.enabling.org/ia/celiac/ 7) Sully's Living Without Magazine - 4 magazines for $16.00 - highly recommended PO Box 132 Clarendon Hills, IL 6054-013 Back issues also available 8) A couple of books were recommended: Against the Gain by J.P. Lowell and a drug guide form Stokes Pharmacy in N. J. for $19.00 1-800-362-7466 9) A newsletter devoted to dining and travel was also listed Bob & Ruth's Gluten Free dining and Travel Club 22 Breton Hill Rd. Pikesville, MD 21208 9) And lastly, this listserv was listed as a great support and I agree. The Archive Lists contain lots of information and if read frequently, can help one stay up to date on issues. Thanks again for all your help.
