Celiac Support Groups

Once you’ve been diagnosed with celiac disease, it’s important to find a local support group. You may feel reluctant at first, but going to one will help you gather information and support in your new gluten-free life.


Support groups are also wonderful ways to meet and stay connected with others who share similar dietary challenges.


Food manufacturers are continuously coming out with new gluten-free products and you’ll most likely learn about them at local support groups. Many support ‘groupies’ even bring foods to sample.


Support groups will also host a particular speaker, which often focuses on the latest medical research -- translated in comprehensible language.


Some groups have open circle dialogue, while others meet and eat at various restaurants.


To locate a Twins Cities support group near you, visit the Northland Celiac Support Group Web site:
