| Celiac Internet Forums |
Forums are message boards for a particular topic, there are a number of forums for celiacs. A forum can have single or multiple message areas (folders or topic areas). A message and the responses to it are called a thread. Most forums have files that can be downloaded. The celiac forums cover many topics, but almost always have discussions about food, symptoms, recipes,and restaurant menus. You will often discussions on areas of being a celiac you never thought about. To post a message or inquiry, you have to join that forum. Most of the forums will allow you to see posts, download files or perform searches without joining, some require you to join to do these things. If you join, a copy of all messages posted will usually be emailed to you, however not having those emails sent is usually an option. Each forum has it’s strengths, weaknesses and quirks, find the one(s) that suit your needs.
