Welcome to the Denver Chapter Celiac Support Group

This is the official web site of the Denver Chapter Celiac Support Group, CSA Chapter  #17.  We are an educational, service and support organization for individuals living with celiac sprue or dermatitis herpetiformis and their families and friends.

Meetings are held on the 1st Thursday of every other month. They are open to anyone who wants to learn about living the gluten-free lifestyle. Our next meeting is Thursday, February 4, 2010. Are you interested in learning more about: Gluten Free Dairy Free Whole Grains without a lot of “WEIRD” ingredients? Essential Baking tips, Substitutions that work, and ingredient comparisons? Join us at 7pm to hear Jean Duane talk about the information in her cookbook Bake Deliciously! We will be at the WheatRidge Recreation Center on 4005 Kipling St. Directions: Take I-70 to Kipling. Exit Kipling South. Wheat Ridge Rec Center will be on the West Side (right side) of road. We hope to see you there!

The 4th Annual Incredible Edible Food Fair planning is underway. We need your Help! We need ideas of who to include, volunteers to help make it happen, and companies to share their products and services. Are you looking for a place to show off your gluten free product or service to a hungry group of gluten free people? Please send us an e-mail with your product and the best person and way to contact you! If you are a company looking to have a booth at our food fair, or one of our members with something that you think should be at the food fair please let us know. Although Date is not confirmed we are looking at the second weekend in August and as soon as we have a location and date set we’ll let you know! Contact gfvendorfair@denverceliacs.org. PS… wouldn’t it be fun if we had a bunch of restaurants with gluten free menus!
