Celiac & Food Allergy
People with celiac disease and other gluten-related disorders, their family members, caregivers, and loved ones are invited to share their experiences, methods of coping and insights into living with chronic illness on a gluten-free diet. This support group will provide valuable information on coping and living with celiac disease and other gluten-related disorders.
The WakeMed Celiac & Food Allergy Support Group – a branch of the Gluten Intolerance Group – is intended to provide a warm and caring environment for people with celiac disease and gluten and other food sensitivities, where their family members, caregivers, and loved ones can share their experiences, methods of coping, and insights into living with chronic illness and following an allergen-free diet. The support group also provides current and accurate information and appropriate community resources about celiac disease and other gluten and food allergy related disorders.
