Celiac disease - resourcesPage Content: Resources - celiac diseaseInformation 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 15110 10th Avenue, SW, Suite A Seattle, WA 98166-1820 206-246-6652 Celiac Disease Foundation 13251 Ventura Blvd, Suite #1 Studio City, CA 91604-1838 818-990-2354 Celiac Sprue Association PO Box 31700 Omaha, NE 68131-0700 877-CSA-4-CSA Canadian Celiac Association 5170 Dixie Road, Suite 204 Mississauga, ON L4W 1E3 905-507-6208 Provides information, support groups, recipes, product information, reference articles. www.digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/celiac/index.htm NIH site for celiac disease, gluten-free diet information Illustrations
