Hello Everyone!  

OK Celiac Support  Group has a lot happening!  We hope you will be a part.  
Here's the  scoop:

NEXT MEETING IS TUESDAY, MARCH  13
Program:  FDA's proposed  "Gluten Free" Labeling

Location:  Conference Rooms J, K and L at  Integris Baptist Hosptial, OKC

Time:    6:30 p.m. - Meet  and Greet
7:00 p.m.  - Meeting

Our March support group meeting will  feature our very own dietitian, Sherry 
Hubbard.  Ms. Hubbard  will speak on the FDA’s proposed “gluten free” 
labeling, which at this point is  to allow companies to label food as “gluten free” 
if it contains less than 20  parts per million.  Good idea?  You be the  
judge.  Join us on March 13, 2007 at 7:00 p.m. to learn more  about the FDA 
proposal.  We will also be writing letters to  the FDA to support your view of the 
proposal.  
The FDA  is currently considering  regulations which would allow  companies 
to label food as “gluten free” if it contains less than 20 parts per  million 
of gluten. 
Currently, there is no regulation of the use of the term “gluten  free” by 
companies within the United States.  The FDA is  seeking to provide a uniform 
standard for the use of “gluten free” or similar  language on food products. 
The  current proposal only considers wheat, barley and rye as offending 
grains, and  not oats.

This is a very significant event. You should be well informed and have  your 
voice heard.
GF RESTAURANT OUTING MONDAY  APRIL 2nd
On Monday, April 2, at 6:00  pm,  we will gather at El Parian Mexican 
Restaurant in Edmond  for a wonderful gluten free dining experience.  El  Parian  is 
located on the southwest corner of 2nd and Broadway  in Edmond.

how to dine out safely on the  gluten free diet.   
El Parian now carries the new  gluten free beer, Redbridge by Budweiser. 
You, your family and friends are  all invited.  It is important that we give
