Quad City Celiac Support Group

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 2006 cookie exchange and the recipes from the 2007 annual picnic. We are in the Quad Cities - Davenport and Bettendorf, Iowa; Rock Island and Moline, Illinois. 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. Check out our brochure and newsletter, currently the March 2008 issue.
Quad City Celiac Support Group for Kids. The purpose of this group is to meet with families to help deal with the unique challenges of raising a child on a gluten-free diet. For more information contact: Lesley Lamphier, 309-736-1507, celiackids@mchsi.com.
