Abstract

The registered dietitian (RD) plays an integral role in helping patients manage their celiac disease (CD). The RDs were surveyed on their use of CD resources and technology (Twitter, Facebook, smartphone apps, or Internet) for their own continuing education and for use in patient education. Academic publications were the most used CD resources for self-education by the RDs. They reported using Twitter and Facebook the least and handouts the most to educate patients with CD, and technology is not a common resource for education of CD patients. The collaborative work between RDs and software developers may increase CD education efficacy by using technology.
