<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Fellow listmembers, Until I got a note from one of the listowners asking me about local groups, I didn't even know about the celiac group in Redlands, California. Since then I have managed to get to my first meeting, and it was far more than I ever expected. I left the meeting with new recipes, new friends, new places to shop locally for GF foods, and a sense of connectedness that I had not realized I missed. Even my husband was glad he went. He said it gave him more understanding of my condition, and the frustrations involved. (Guess it's different to hear a room full of people discuss their frustrations as opposed to just hearing me complain, it definitely had an impact on him ;) Thanks, Lynda \*/\*/\*/ Lynda \*/ [log in to unmask] \*/ So.
