To those of you who may read this bolg. My name is Meredith and I'm a senior at the University of North Florida and in April i will be graduating with my Nutrition degree. Along the way i have learned a lot of things but the area that has most peaked my interest has been celiac disease and gluten free cooking. As part of a final project we have to come up with a hypothetical business and interview people that are doing something similar to what our business is and what i'm doing i can't find anyone who does something similar.

Celiac.com Sponsor (A13):
My "business" would be one that catered to those recently diagnosed with celiac disease or anyone looking to eliminate gluten from their diet. It would be a business of support and learning. As a client you would be able to ask questions and get answers as well as learn how to cook and eat gluten free and still have your food be delicious. What i want to know from the gluten free community is what would have made the transition easier for you when you were diagnosed. What kind of programs would you have liked to have found, what kind of education would you have looked for and what kind of environment would you have liked to be in when facing this new challenge. I would love any and all insight, not only for my project but for my future in nutrition and dietetics too. Also if there is anyone who knows of a business similar to the one i have described their information would be super useful too.

Thanks for taking the time out of your day to read and reply to this post!!
