Support Groups In Lincoln, Ne?

[silk]

Wondering if there are any support groups in Lincoln, NE. Been gluten-free for two months now and I am amazed at what the stores that do support us Celiacs (Hy-Vee!) carry in their product lines, but also dismayed at what most stores do not carry.

Also, being a Catholic, receiving the Eucharist has become a very depressing issue. Wondering if there are others who are coping with this issue and how they deal with it in this area of the U.S.

I searched the Celiac Disease Foundation for Nebraska contacts and I am sorry that there is none.

This site is one of the best forums for information regarding Celiac.

Thanks for the information, Momma Goose. I guess 'outing' yourself as a Celiac in the wheat-producing 'heartland' must not be a very popular thing, huh?

Actually, I did a google search of celiac support groups in the Lincoln area and found several listed. Wish I had thought of this sooner. Thanks for your help.

I would contact one of your local Hy-Vee dieticians and see if they something. The Omaha ones are super when it comes to celiac and we get e-mails from them every other week or so. They also just started a pediatric celiac group that Evan and I go to when it meets (once a month) at the different Hy-Vees.
