NEWLY DIAGNOSED

Buddy help

Are you newly diagnosed and need immediate help? Call our Support Line at (250) 472-0141 to find out how you can be assigned a Celiac Buddy. Your Buddy is a fellow celiac who is very familiar with the gluten free diet, where to shop, what to buy, how to cook gluten free meals, maintain a gluten free kitchen and generally enjoy life as a celiac. Your Buddy will share a bounty of information to increase your comfort level in a celiac lifestyle and answer your many questions. Buddies are life-savers for newly diagnosed celiacs.
