Celiac Support

Saturday Tom and I were blessed to attend our first ever Celiac Support Group meeting.

We really weren't sure what to expect. I know I thought, "Two hours? How do they fill two hours? " Well, those were two of the fastest hours of my life. There was a great exchange of information and tips, ingredients to watch out for, restaurants now offering GF menus and/or options. It was FANTASTIC!

I had been asked to speak, and bring some samples, which I just love. We got up extra early, and mixed and baked and baked and baked, loaded up the car and set out, pastry boxes full.

Everyone seemed genuinely interested in how Dana B's Gluten Free, LLC came into being, and had excellent questions about other allergens as well.

A Representative from Nature's Green Grocer (hands down the most beautiful, best smelling, happiest little grocery, ever!) had been invited to speak, as well;he was very knowledgeable, and GF savvy. While NGG is not a designated GF facility, the owners and staff go above and beyond to serve the GF/CF/SF/Vegan communities.

While we loved the warm welcome, and the free samples, our favorite part was, hands down, the buffet style sampling, which allowed us to meet people individually, and hear courageous stories of hope and healing, of trial and error.

We are all in this together, and that is how we get through, by keeping it an adventure, rather than focusing on what we can't have. I am truly honored to be a part of such a community.

Thanks to all who continue to support Dana B's. Keep in touch!
