About Our Support Group

We provide timely and empowering education, advocacy, and peer to peer support for San Diegans with celiac disease and gluten-related disorders.   Through our close affiliation with expert gastroenterologists, dietitians, and the National Celiac Association, we also offer educational initiatives from hard to find expert clinicians to our community, and through taped online segments to the nation for both children and adults.

Our Practices
  • We educate, advocate and raise awareness of celiac disease and gluten intolerance.
  • We foster a sense of community, belonging and camaraderie.
  • We keep a close affiliation with several gastroenterologist and dieticians.
  • We provide empowerment to live with a chronic disease and share a positive outlook as ambassadors of the disease.
