Celiac Parent's Support Groups

While searching for gluten intolerance and Celiac information for our child I came across this group. R.O.C.K.- Raising Our Celiac Kids is an education, support and information group for parents of Celiac children. Considering isolation is one of the biggest problems facing people with food intolerances, this is a wonderful thing. Here are the state by state listings of chapters. 
If there isn't a R.O.C.K. chapter in your area yet and you're interested in starting one,
please contact Danna Korn at danna@dannakorn.com.
