Counselors sometimes work with a group of people (support group) to help identify problem issues and direct members towards understanding and personal wellness.
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
