Internet Chat

CHAT is a feature of the Internet that allows users to enter virtual "rooms" in which they can talk (type) to others in the same "room" at the same time. This is a unique opportunity for people with Celiac Disease to get together to discuss mutual problems and to give support to each other through real time discussions.

There are several types of programs for interactive discussions on the Internet. As new Chat rooms are established, they will be referenced in this document. The Celiac Listowners are providing this information with no knowledge or understanding of the accuracy of discussions in the Chat rooms.
