I was diagnosed in October 2003 but the GI cannot answer any of my questions. I have had to research everything on my own. I'm also looking for a suport group in the area.

Marybet,

If you live in the Chicago area you should contact the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Program. They have a lot of information on their website, and if you couldn't get in to see one of their doctors, then maybe they could put you in touch with another good one. They could also point you towards some support groups in your area.

Here is the contact information I found on this site-Celiac.com:
