Coping and support

By Mayo Clinic staff

The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology provides links on its website to organizations that offer support groups for families dealing with allergies. Support groups, such as the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network, can help you develop coping strategies, find sources for wheat-free products, and exchange recipes and other ideas to help you maintain a wheat-free diet.
