Is There Anyone From Maryland Here?

[JessicaB]

First of all i was wondering if anyone on the board lived in Maryland and if so where? I live in southern maryland myself. Im still waiting on my official diagnosis, if im "celiac" or just gluten sensitive. I feel that the group meeting would be beneficial to me. There is one at st joseph hospital at 2pm this sunday. The speaker will be Dr Alesso Fesano, who i highly reccomment. He works at the university of maryland center for celiac research. Here is the address, id be interested to know if anyone is going and who lived in maryland?? Im trying to make new friends that i can communicate with for support. Thanks! Feel free to email me if you want.

Hi Jessica - I know you are going through a tough time now. We have all been through it. This group is great. They are full of so much helpful information.

I live in Westminser, MD, which unfortunately is nowhere near you. I may go to the meeting on Sunday. I haven't decided yet. I've heard Dr. Fasano speak before. He is very knowledgeable.

If you do go, you will only be a few minutes from the new Wegman's food store (wegmans.com) that just opened up. They have a wonderful website that lists pages of their brand gluten free food that they carry. They have a section in the store called "Natures Marketplace" where most of it is, but in wandering around, I found tons more. Right across the parking lot is an Outback restaurant. They have a gluten free menu.

You could go to the meeting, shop, and take yourself out to dinner. Make a whole day of it!
