Greetings All,
We have busily been working to complete the arrangements to expand our presence in NEO.
We are happy to announce that the Northeast Ohio Celiac Network is now affiliated with The Gluten Intolerance Group – GIG.
With this affiliation comes a new name and logo –

and the GIG website at gluten.org with great info, tips, recipes, news and coupons
– everything else stays the same!
You can still find us at our webpage, facebook and twitter keeping the community connected to news on the Celiac front. With this affiliation we’ll be able to offer more social events, additional news, and promote so much more of the whole community to our local community.
We’ll still be meeting monthly – check out our events calendar for meeting dates and times!
We’ll still be having 3 -4 dinner meetings each year with the hopes of meeting some new g-f friends and make more g-f connections! Watch our posts for details OR check our events page!
We’ll continue to post information on area dining options and food stuffs that serve our needs!
We’ll still be looking for your comments and shares to our pages so that we can assist each other and more of our community in their search for g-f perfection!

At our last meeting we had a couple of folks who had just been to Jersey Mikes subs to get their favorite sub on gluten-free bread. So far the feedback has been supportive of the bread, the options and the service. Don’t forget to be your best advocate and let them know you need your sub made with care:)

Happy New Year All!!
I hope your holidays were filled with all the things that you love about celebrating with friends and family!
Here’s some things that are happening in the world of CD and gluten-free just to keep us all on our toes as we venture into 2018!!
In the following article you will find the final paragraph reads…..
“Avoiding whole grains because you’ve heard gluten is bad is like avoiding whole fruits because you’ve heard fructose is bad,” Dr. Katz said in an interview. A diet without gluten is most often associated with the inclusion of what he calls “ultra-processed, gluten-free junk foods” and the exclusion of highly nutritious whole grains. “Avoiding it systematically produces net harm both to diet and to health.”
I will refrain from expressing my commentary to this piece and let you judge for yourself but it is worth a read because others will read it and you might like to discuss it further!
