Had Fun Yesterday!

[bartfull]

Well, I went to the Gluten Free Festival in Rapid City yesterday. There were over a dozen restaurants represented, and they were all serving gluten free food items. Even with my corn intolerance, I ate enough that the $12 admission was well worth it.

There were mini seminars all day. The one I was most interested in was the talk by the compounding pharmasist. In South Dakota, you must get a precsription to have even OTC medicines like ibuprophen made. But it's worth a doctor's appointment to me, so I'm going to do it.

There was a group making gluten free play doh, and it was great to watch all the kids playing and having fun.

They gave everyone a gift bag filled with coupons, Lara bars, and all kinds of gluten free snacks. Of course, some of them had corn, but I traded with the friend who brought me up there.

One of the best parts was meeting all the other people and sharing our stories and recipe ideas.

Isn't it great to go somewhere that is safe & easy. Where no one looks at you wierd if you say I can't have corn, they just try to help.

Yes, and I also told a lot of folks about this forum. I think we may get a few new folks stopping by. There was one lady I met who has crohn's disease, and was wondering if she had Celiac. It sounds to me like she does. I told her to come here for the best information available.

As a matter of fact, during the question and answer part of the pharmacist's talk, I mentioned this site to the whole crowd. I hope some of them at least, come check it out. THIS is the best support group they could ever hope to find.
