Yahoo Groups
Yahoo Groups are a wonderful way for celiacs to connect with each other directly online, ask each other questions, find resources, research topics previously discussed and network. There are many Yahoo Groups related to celiac disease and the gluten-free diet, local, national or international. To join a Yahoo Group, go to http://groups.yahoo.com/ and become a Yahoo member by creating a username and password. It's free, and your public profile can be anonymous. After you join Yahoo you can search for groups related to your geographic area and interests and join them individually. Here are a few groups favored by celiacs in the Bay Area:
