Hi Ann. I am Mary Alma Miller, the soon-to-be president of the BYU
Celiac club. I do not know of people with celiac living near campus
that have a vacany, but I sympathize with your daughter's situation. I
myself live at home in Orem and am a senior at BYU hoping to graduate
within several months. If your daughter would like to contact me, my
e-mail is mmm9243@... and our club e-mail address currently is
celiac@.... There is also a great support group in the Utah county
area that you can find more about at www.gfutah.org. I'll let you know
if I find any female student with celiac who would be willing to share
a dorm or an apartment with your daughter. I'm hoping that within a
few years we can create a network so that people with celiac can get
together if they so desire. Until then, I'll see what I can do. Let us
know if there is anything we can do to help your daughter's BYU
experience more pleasant. Mary Alma
