Gluten Intolerance Group® Branches and Partners embrace and support the mission and goals of the Gluten Intolerance Group®, for the good of all persons with gluten intolerance diseases. Persons served by GIG®, its Branches and Partners are not required to be members of GIG® to receive services.

GIG® Branches are entities of GIG® with all the benefits of non-profit status. GIG® Branches benefit from charity status, ability to receive donations, dues and grants as a nonprofit. GIG® provides many opportunities to Branch offices that help them to grow and provide exceptional services to those they serve.

GIG® Partners are independent organizations that work with GIG® to benefit the entire celiac and gluten intolerance communities.

GIG® believes by partnering with other organizations, we can work more effectively towards national unity. Unity is necessary to be respected and heard by manufacturers, government and other leaders that influence decisions affecting our health care and food regulation. 

GIG® and its Branches believe we must "Speak with One Voice."

For more information about becoming a GIG® Branch or Partner, contact badc_chairman@gluten.net.
