<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> This has to be an important way forward. Never mind JUST coeliac. If we can pull together the various food allergy and intolerance groups under one umbrella for this purpose, then lots of clout is available. You'll excuse my cynical smile though. How many celiac groups have you in the US? The situation isn't much better here, just better hidden. If coeliacs can't even work together what's the chance of working with others who only have a similar problem, not even the same disease?
