Support Groups
Being diagnosed with a condition that many people have never heard of can result in feelings of isolation and desperation. There are support groups throughout the country that can provide valuable information, contacts and support. We encourage you to contact any of the groups below and learn about support groups in your area and other available services.

Commercial product guides for food and drugs:
A good product guide should have contact information on manufacturers so you can call frequently. Update your product guide with new information, and remember to date the information as you add it, so you'll always know whether it's current. Brands vary from region to region. If a brand is not listed, it may be because it contains gluten, or it may just mean that the manufacturer was not contacted and, therefore, excluded in the publication.
