Other Celiac & Gluten-Free Resources

Las Vegas Celiac Support Group (a Facebook group)

Picture
The Las Vegas Celiac Support Group on FACEBOOK (formerly a YAHOO! Group). If you are affected by Celiac disease (whether it be yourself, family member or friend) and you live in or are traveling to the Las Vegas area, this group is for you. On this public group you can find information such as upcoming gluten-free events, restaurants that serve gluten-free meals, recipes, lists of G.I. doctors in the area and grocery stores that supply gluten-free products. MOST IMPORTANTLY, you will find support in our members through group postings, as well as regularly scheduled member-organized special events and meetings!

IMPORTANT: If you are requesting to join the Facebook group, please note that you MUST answer the 3 questions asked upon your request...they are REQUIRED (don't worry...they are easy, and take LESS than a minute to answer). :-)  And once you request to join, please be patient, as it sometimes takes me a few days to get to all the requests.

​Here is the link to join this support group:
