all those celiac- and gluten-related Yahoo groups

[Guest guest]

Melonie, and any one else who cares to read my ramblings...

I tried being GF all on my own, with no one of whom to ask questions,

for about a month. And then one day, out of the blue, the thought came

to me: " Hey, I wonder if there's any Yahoo groups about gluten or celiac? "

So, I went to Yahoo groups home, typed in " gluten " and " celiac " in

turn and found a whole bunch. I applied to join them all.

Some never honored my request to join. So, I gave up.

Some I joined and they had NO activity whatsoever. So I un-subbed.

Some I joined and found too tedious.

I found it confusing that there were two groups with similar names and

similar discussions. But since one was supposed to be regional to the

country in which I lived, I figured it might be more germaine to my

needs. But I found myself impatient with the way the group functioned.

Why? Because when I need an answer, I need it within hours, not days.

So... after joining a whole bunch of celiac- and gluten-related

groups, I only kept one: SillyYaks.

You all have been SO tremendously helpful to me. You've been

informative, encouraging, supportive, enlightening, fun to read, and

funny. Thank you!
