TheCeliac Sprue Association just celebrated awareness day on September 13th. No worries if you missed it because everyday should be an opportunity to share info about Celiac Sprue and Gluten Intolerance.
The month of October has traditionally been the month to raise awareness for Celiac Sprue, since 1987 in the USA and Canada. What will you do ? Meet with your local support group like – GLUTEN FREE FOODIES?

Lisa - Gluten Free Foodie Learning to live Gluten Free is a challenge. Gathering with like minded people while exchanging ideas, life experiences and gluten free food is more interesting! So I created, Gluten Free Foodies, to support Gluten Intolerant and other Food Sensitive people by gathering at monthly events and celebrating the foods that we can eat! Feel free to send me an email at glutenfreefoodie@gmail.com After all, didn't Erma Bombeck once say ... "I am not a glutton, I am an explorer of food."
