<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> There have been a number of posts lately asking for GF stores, GF restaurants, or celiac-knowledgeable physicians/dietitians for specific geographic areas. I certainly do not want to discourage people from turning to this list for help; the list members can be a valuable resource with questions of this nature. However, I wonder if another source of information for these requests isn't being overlooked: support groups and resource people that are actually located in the area for which information is requested. We have three lists of support groups and resource people available from the list: GROUPSUS for the USA, GROUPSCA for Cananda, and GROUPSIN for all other countries. The USA and Canadian lists are fairly extensive and all three lists are kept as up-to-date as possible. There are usually several contacts listed for each support group, complete with phone numbers and postal addresses. Many of the groups list one or more e-mail contacts as well. You can get any (or all) of these lists by sending a message to [log in to unmask] (don't send it to the CELIAC address). The message should contain one or more of these lines, depending on which of the files you want: GET CELIAC GROUPSUS CELIAC GET CELIAC GROUPSCA CELIAC GET CELIAC GROUPSIN CELIAC Of course, if you don't find a group near the location for which you need information, or if the group is unable to help you, then you can still turn to the CELIAC list for help. But you will usually find that area support groups are a much better way to get geographically- specific information, plus doing so will cut down on list traffic which is not of general interest.
