Newly diagnosed with Gluten Intolerance? No problem!
Our Mission:
To increase awareness of gluten intolerance diseases including celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis by providing:
- support to individuals with gluten intolerance and their families;
- accurate, up-to-date, information and resources;
- educational programs that promote positive, non-threatening information; and
- outreach to health care professionals, restaurants and the general public.
One of the first recommendation by most practitioners to the newly diagnosed is to attend a support group. Individuals already on the diet can help with information and resources and share what they have already learned.
Disclaimer: Information we share may be helpful, but should not be considered medical advice. We recommend that a person’s health care provider be consulted regarding diagnosis, treatment or other concerns related to making dietary changes.
Resources:
Although we meet as a group once a month, feel free to call to arrange an individual meeting. For more information: Group Brochure
Recipes of the Month: Susan's Banana Muffins - vegan option included Dairy Free Vanilla Cake - GREAT with fresh or frozen Oregon berries!
