Hi Dahlia,
A few years back, some of us on this board from LA got together. It was really fun to meet in person, after knowing someone online. I haven't been on the boards for probably over a year now, so I don't know what's going on, lol. Didn't even know about the LA celiacs on yahoo! I guess I should check back more often

There is also an "official" celiac group that pushes for research and they have annual meetings with speakers and such. There may be a subgroup of support people. The name is escaping me at the moment. They are based in the valley. Maybe it's celiac.net ?
