Celiac disease affects about 1 in 80 people of Irish descent, and 1 in 135 of Northern European descent. The Gluten free diet is the only treatment. What the doctors don't tell you is that the GF food is very high in fats and calories. After the effects of the disease have subsided, many Celiac's have a tough time managing their weight. This group is a great place for us to talk about options for health so as not to "punish" ourselves with or without food, but to thrive at the right weight.

Diabetes and thyroid disease are common with Celiac disease, and can aggrivate weight issues. We will talk about that here too.

We also welcome any and all people that are on a GF diet for other reasons as well.
