Organizational Meeting for Gluten-Free or Celiac Group
An organizational meeting for a new support group for people with a gluten intolerance or celiac disease is set for 6:30 PM, Wednesday, June 21, at the Orofino Country Store, 206 Johnson Avenue, in downtown Orofino.
Gluten is a natural substance found in members of the wheat and barley family, and used as a additive or thickener in many canned and baked goods. However, up to 40% of the population tests as sensitive to gluten, partly due to over-saturation in our food supply.
The most extreme form of gluten intolerance is known as celiac disease, and affects 1 in 133 people. Symptoms may include recurring digestive tract problems (bloating, heartburn, IBS), memory loss (often diagnosed as Alzheimers), underweight, and many others. Research shows that only 1 in 20 people with this disease are accurately diagnosed in the US.
The organizational meeting will discuss scheduling of meetings and format (e.g. evening or lunch meetings, potlucks, recipe sharing, product alerts, restaurant options, etc).
If you would like to participate, but cannot make the meeting, please email: OrofinoStore@Gmail.com or call Malcolm, (208) 874-3509. You may also leave your contact information at the store.
