Resources - celiac disease

Upon diagnosis, it is very important that you receive counseling from a registered dietitian with a specialty in celiac disease and the gluten-free diet. A dietitian with this specialty will provide contact information for local and national organizations, local and national food companies and stores where gluten-free products can be purchased, and will share important resources that explain your disease and treatment.

A dietitian is also uniquely qualified to provide counseling on associated conditions that commonly accompany celiac disease (such as diabetes, lactose intolerance, weight loss or gain, or vitamin/mineral deficiency).

The following organizations are good resources for information on celiac disease:

• Gluten Intolerance Group - www.gluten.net
• Celiac Disease Foundation - www.celiac.org
• Celiac Sprue Association - www.csaceliacs.org
• Canadian Celiac Association - www.celiac.ca
• Celiac.com - www.celiac.com
• National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse - www.digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/celiac/index.htm
