Fox Valley Celiacs Chapter 26
Once you have been diagnosed with
celiac disease (CD) or dermatitis
herpetiformis (DH), a wise step is to
consult with a dietitian. During this
consultation, you will receive information
about the gluten-free diet.
As a newly diagnosed celiac, you
will
want to consider joining the Fox Valley
Celiacs (FVC) support group, which
serves all of NE Wisconsin. The support
group will provide information, resource
materials, and a place to meet other
celiacs.
Meetings may include a speaker, a panel
discussion, a Q & A session, or a
potluck. At each meeting, time is set
aside for sharing information on gluten-free
products, gluten-aware restaurants,
and resource materials.
Bernie Coley, Educational
Facilitator,
meets with newly diagnosed celiacs 45
minutes prior to the regular meetings to
answer questions and share information.
A bimonthly newsletter is written and
published by FVC, which features gluten-free
products, recipes, articles on celiac
disease, and other informational
material.
Books, pamphlets, recipe books, and
other resource materials can be checked
out during regular meetings.
