There are many wonderful organizations doing so much to help people with celiac and others on a gluten-free diet, that I’m sure Jen Cafferty was just giving an example. Thank you for bringing the Celiac Disease Foundation to the attention of our readers! --Jen No reason at all.

I live in Los Angeles and they are the most helpful and active organization here! They also have many support groups around the country that deserve recognition!!

I love the idea of a gluten-free cooking club and agree that many people would benefit! Does anyone out there in the wheat-free world know of some great GF Cooking Clubs? Keep us posted. Jen Dear Deb,

Thanks for your warm comment! I love the idea of a gluten-free cooking club and agree that many people would benefit!

The reason I was even diagnosed was because my 17 year old (at the time..now 21) was forever in pain and complaining. I just chalked it up to what I had (which I was told was colitis). I was persistant of course with her and was lucky enough to get the diagnosis with a Gastro doc in Naperville (biopsy). But, my real reason for writing is to tell you how much I enjoy your site. Also, I am proud to say I am a awesome GF/CF cook and love trying out new recipes. People love coming to my home for dinner and no one EVER walks out hungry. I would love to start a cooking club in my home but, I once wrote a note on one of the local websites asking if there was any Mom who just wanted to go and try out new places for lunches and never got any bites (no pun intended). Whenever I see a new shopper at my Whole Foods (and you can usually tell because they look so scared in the GF section). I introduce myself and try to assure them that it does get better. I always carry a card with my name, email and phone number and offer myself to them if they have any worries. Just recently here in Lisle they opened a new Health Food store called Wild Bran and I went in and helped the owner with some ordering. He knows he can call me with any questions. Well, I have taken up enough of your time...Thanks again...DEB Hi Jen,
