Information

If you have celiac disease, it is very important that you receive counseling from a registered dietitian who specializes in celiac disease and gluten-free diets. An expert can tell you where to buy gluten-free products and will share important resources that explain your disease and treatment.

A dietitian can also provide counseling on conditions that commonly occur with celiac disease, such as:

• Diabetes
• Lactose intolerance
• Vitamin or mineral deficiency
• Weight loss or gain
