Hunterdon County Celiac Disease Support Group meeting.
The group meets the first Tuesday of the month at the Hunterdon Medical Center, Flemington, NJ, from 7-8:30pm. These are free and informal meetings.
People with Celiac Disease cannot eat foods that contain the protein “gluten” found in grains such as wheat, rye, barley and sometimes oats. The gluten sets off an autoimmune reaction that causes the destruction of the villi in the small intestine. The small intestine cannot absorb nutrients properly, and the inflicted person becomes malnourished.
Please contact Danene Gooding 908-806-7407 for more information. Anyone with Celiac Disease or wheat intolerance is welcome, along with any other family members, children or friends.

The program will be held monthly and would deal with children, adolescence and adult issues with respect to celiac disease. Members of the Celiac Disease Center who will be attending the Roundtable on Celiac Disease include adult and pediatric gastroenterologists as well as our nutritionist. We will conduct this program in an interactive format allowing airing of views and questions from all participants.
While the issues that will be discussed will focus on the needs of the participants, we anticipate that discussions could involve difficulties with diagnosis, how should a celiac disease patient be followed medically, what dietetic nutritional issues are important, who should take vitamins, how to handle associated diseases and manifestations, how to control weight, what to tell teachers and guidance counselors about your child among other topics.
Attendance will be limited to 30 people so we would appreciate you letting us know if you can attend. If you are interested in participating, please RSVP to cb2280@columbia.edu. There is no charge to participate.
