I'm looking for a support group in the Lehigh Valley area to do group dinners with or just chat and get together in general.

I e-mailed the contact person for the Bethlehem group that I found on this website, but she said that she is no longer involved. She told me she would forward my e-mail along to the group's current secretary, but I haven't heard anything back yet.

Any Lehigh Valley Celiacs out there??

Did you ever find your support group? How long have you known that you have celiac disease? Are you having a hard time doing the new lifestyle? I have been gluten-free for a couple of years, and it is still hard!!

Let me know if you need any receipes for breads or whatever!!

My husband was recently diagnosed with celiac disease, along with my niece (6 yr old). I do not know of any support groups in the Lehigh Valley, but I can inform you of what I know so far. Wegman’s is a great place to buy gluten-free foods and their list is expanding everyday. You do not have to go to the gluten-free aisle either! Their labeling is changing to include gluten-free foods. You can also go online and print out all of their gluten-free items. NCCC is offering a celiac cooking class on October 16th; $19 for the class & $16 for supplies. There is an awesome bakery in Philly that is 100% gluten-free. It is a little pricey, but very high quality. I have made several baked goods using their flour mixture and the results are incredible! I have tasted a lot of gluten-free foods that I would not even feed to my dogs!! Here is the link to the bakery: http://www.mrritts.com/. They ship and since we are so close, we can order almost anything off of their list.

Hi,
I live in Allentown and am a celiac. My mother is too and we'd like to form a Lehigh Valley gluten-free group. Let us know!!

Wegmans is the best store possible!!! They aren't changing their labels, they have been doing the gluten free labeling, the G in the orange circle for quite a few years. Hello from Harrisburg!
