Quad City Celiac Support Group

 

We are a support group providing information and coping skills for people on the gluten-free diet.  A gluten-free diet is the treatment for celiac disease, dermatitis herpetformis, gluten intolerance or a gluten sensitivity.  People with a wheat allergy are welcome.

We offer friendship, support, help in locating gluten free food items, information on gluten free cooking, and pass along any new information on Celiac/DH.  Here are the recipes from the 2010 cookie exchange, the recipes from the 2011 annual picnic, and the recipes from the 2010 Thanksgiving dinner.  We are in the Quad Cities - Davenport and Bettendorf, Iowa; Rock Island and Moline, Illinois.

Here is a Chicago newspaper supplement published in October, 2010.  It is about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet. It has an article about athletes such as quarterback Drew Brees who are on the GF diet.

 

The QC Celiac Support Group was organized in 1995 and is chapter #79 of CSA/USA.   Annual dues of the Quad City Celiac Support Group are $15.  You may use this Membership Form if you wish to join the group or renew your membership.  Check out our brochure and newsletters.  Here is the March 2011 newsletter.

Mandy Mayer has a blog called Gluten Free QC.  This blog is dedicated to gluten free restaurant reviews in the Quad Cities. She also reviews gluten free products and posts good recipes.
