Nutmeg Celiac Eating Meeting

DANBURY — An “Eating Meeting” for the Nutmeg Celiac Sprue Support Group will be held on Friday, November 3, at the Center for Behavioral Health on Lake Avenue and Old Mill Road in Danbury.

Foods By George will provide the gluten-free pizza crusts and desserts, and members, family, and newly diagnosed people living with a gluten sensitivity, the malabsorbtion syndrome, will be able to enjoy a gluten-free Pizza Party as well as the opportunity to talk with others who live with the immunologic disease.

Information about the two-day Blood Screening sessions for first and second-degree relatives of diagnosed Celiacs will be discussed. Advance reservations for the testing are necessary. They will be held in Suffield, Hamden, and Manchester in December.

In cooperation with the Center for Celiac Research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, the research study will help family members determine whether or not they have the disease and will help estimate the prevalence of CD in the United States.

A gluten-free diet is the essential mainstay of the therapy for Gluten-sensitive Enteropathy.

The Pizza Party will be held at the Danbury Hospital facility at 7:30 pm. Reservations should be made by calling 203/438-6108. There will be a fee for the supper.
