Hi all

Does anyone knows if there is any support group in South Florida?

Thanks for your response.

Hi,

I think there is one in Tampa. What part of Florida are you in? I'm just outside Fort Myers. I know there are a lot of Celiacs in my area, but I have not found a support group here (

I belong to the Palm Beach County Celiac Support Group. This is a chapter of the Celiac Disease Foundation. Phyllis Kessler is the President. This group has recently merged with the Southeast Florida Celiac-Sprue Support Group. There are over 100 members who meet bi-monthly at the Civic Center in Delray Beach.

I live in Broward County (as do several other members.) It's about a 30 min. drive from here. If you want to contact Phyllis Kessler her e-mail is pkessler23@aol.com.

Greetings my fellow Floridians I leave in northern Miami Dade County.

I will email Phyllis Kessler for more information.

Thanks for all your reponses. I am not alone in Florida.

Do all of you find lots of gluten-free products. I am fortunate to have Publix where I can find lots of different products. I also have Whole Foods, and Nutrition Smart .

Best regards to everyone.

Hello! My name is Carolanne...and I've lived in Florida for over 20 years. I am a Celiac, and I've been Wheat-Free for 20 years, and Gluten-Free for over 3 years. I'm trying to locate people who live Gluten Free here in Florida...and it's not been easy. Most of the links I've found have been disconnected or discontinued...and I'm having a devil of time finding people to connect to. I'd really like to find others who are interested in getting together...and I understand that I am not alone. I've read several posts from people looking for help, Doctors, restaurants, support groups, meetups and such here in Florida.

I've created a Yahoo Group in the hopes of connecting with other people here in the Sunshine State...and to help others connect as well. I'd like to know if anyone is interested in something that will enable you to contact others in your own local area. I'd like to make more information available to people who are living Gluten-Free in Florida.
