If there is one thing I have learned through my years of being gluten free it is this – this whole gluten free thing is a whole lot easier when we have SUPPORT!
This is The Celiac Support Groups Community – a World Wide Community. All across the globe, there are wonderful Celiac Support Groups – groups designed to help, educate, share and most of all support each other with the celiac lifestyle. It is always much more fun to do something when you know you are not alone. How fabulous is it to get a tried and true gluten-free recipe for pound cake that works every time? Or to learn which restaurants in your area are gluten-free friendly? Or to simply have an understanding ear to tell your struggles to?
How fun to connect up with other groups in other countries! You can even form “sister” relationships!
After speaking at numerous Celiac Support Groups across America, I got to see for myself how very valuable the groups are and decided to make it easier for others to find them and for them all to communicate easily with each other.
This page is dedicated to helping you find a support group in your area or to let others know about one that already exists.
If you would like to join the Celiac Support Groups Community (it’s free!) send an email to
with “CSGC” in the subject line and include the following information:
- The name of your Group
- The Group’s address (at least City, State and Country)
- Your Group’s contact person’s name and email address and/or phone number
- The group’s website URL or email address
- A photo of you, the group or your logo (not required)
- A few sentences about your group (purpose, activities and desires)
And if you host any sort of community activity once a week or once a month, please let me know and include a link to that information page. I want to get the word out! : )
And feel free to get one of our Celiac Support Groups Community Badges that was created and donated by the talented Alexa Croft. You can put this on your blog or site to show your support in aiding in the expansion of this great community.

We meet at the Port Orange Public Library a Volusia County Library and have meetings every 2 months. We always meet on a Saturday afternoon from 2:00-4:00 PM. I find speakers of interest to the group and we share gluten free snacks and help each other learn about new products or good doctors. We also help newly diagnosed Celiacs learn how to stay on the diet, eat out and eat at the homes of friends and family, travel and shop and read labels. I set up a Yahoo Support Group which anyone can join. [email protected] |

About: Today, there are a lot of reasons for going Gluten-Free – nearly all of them concerning health. But it’s not as easy as it sounds. In fact it can be quite over-whelming once you realize how many products have hidden sources of Gluten. Ordering a simple meal in your favorite restaurant can suddenly become a daunting task. Receiving well-intended gifts from loved one’s can become embarrassing, hurtful and even painful. Learning the maze of do’s and don’ts can seem a huge chore not only for those who have chosen (or been forced) to change their lifestyle – but also for their friends, family and their caretakers too!Meetings are on the 4th Saturday of every month except December. |

About: The KGGICG meets once a month. Meeting days/dates vary. Most meetings are held on a weekday at 6:00 pm at the group leader’s home. At least two meetings a year—the group’s anniversary open house and annual picnic—are held on weekends. Meetings begin with a shared meal which features gluten-free food as well as foods that may be dairy free and more free. Food items are labeled so that all can eat safely. Many “newbies” say that it’s our shared meal, which focuses on naturally gluten-free, real food, that convinces them that eating gluten free can be easy, inexpensive, and delicious. Meetings also include excellent, helpful presentations from local and national health experts/advocates. |
