This Sunday, May 15th, at 2:30pm, we will be kicking-off our brand new Las Vegas Celiac Support Group Monthly Meetings. Kenny from GREAT GRUBBING Cafe (100% Gluten-Free Cafe/Bakery in Henderson) has graciously agreed to host!!!! They have incredible smoothies, organic coffee, gluten-free pizzas & sandwiches, salads, teriyaki bowls, etc, etc...so be sure to bring your wallet and your appetite!! LOL We will be giving you a recap of our experience at the 2016 CDF National Conference and Gluten-Free Expo a couple of weeks ago (complete with a tasting of some yummy GF samples we brought back from the expo!!).

We will also have Michelle DeBerge of "GlutenSugarDairyFree.com" as a special guest. She has a bunch of new cooking classes coming up, right here in Las Vegas, and she'll be there that afternoon to give us a special preview and tell us all about it...very, very cool!

Mostly, this will be a wonderful opportunity to CONNECT with others here in Las Vegas who, like you or your loved one, are faced with navigating this crazy gluten-free life. :-) We look forward to seeing you all there!!!

Sincerely,
Lisa Smith & Janet Rogers

Last weekend, mom and I attended the 2016 CDF (Celiac Disease Foundation) National Conference and Gluten-Free Expo in Pasadena, CA...what an incredible experience! I honestly don't even know where to begin? The conference itself featured dozens of speakers throughout the morning and afternoon (I swear, just about every single one of them had either an MD or PhD at the end of their names!!), and the topics addressed by these experts included everything from “The Science Behind the HYPE” of Celiac Disease and the possible links between Celiac and “Depression, Anxiety and ADHD,” to the current “Trends in Gluten-Free Nutrition” and whether “Strict Adherence to a Gluten-Free Diet is Enough.” My head was literally spinning (and my brain was completely exhausted) by the end of the day! It was a lot of information to process, but it also made me realize how much we truly DON'T know yet. One of the biggest, and most recurring messages of the day was that there is still a huge need for much more research to be done. We are only beginning to understand this disease and everything that it means for us. ​
