Are you newly diagnosed with Celiac Sprue, or have you had your
diagnosis for several years? Either way, we invite you to join us. We
meet the last Saturday of the months of February, April, June, August,
October at Spencer Hospital and our Christmas potluck is the first
Saturday in December. We do a soup supper in February and an end of
summer picnic in August.
Treats------- At every meeting we bring a gluten free snack to share
along with the recipe. We share information about the latest available
foods and testing. We also share information learned from Doctors and
Nutritionists and The Celiac Sprue Association,( www.csaceliacs.org)
