Top 10 Reasons to Join a Celiac Support Group
Recently, I ran into Bernice Hettesheimer at Jersey Shore University Medical Center’s Endoscopy section. For those of you who don’t know her, Bernice is a retired endoscopy nurse who now runs the Jersey Shore Celiac Support Group.
She writes about the Top 10 Reasons to Join Jersey Shore Celiac Support Group:
- It’s Free
- It’s Fun
- It’s socially engaging
- It helps to build a network of others who are dealing with the same problems
- It can help you get motivated and stay motivated as the gluten free diet is a life long commitment
- It teaches new ways to cope
- It reassures you about the future as we have current educational speakers and handouts
- You can try new Gluten Free products before buying them
- It makes you aware of community services available such as Celiac Awareness Day
- We are a chapter of The Celiac Support Association (a National Organization) with all of the support they provide including a website and a Facebook page for those who use Facebook
Anyone who has Celiac Disease or Gluten Sensitivity is welcome to participate. My contact information is Bernice Hettesheimer, Bhettesh98@gmail.com or call (732) 869-1162 to find out more
