Raising our Celiac/Gluten-Free Kids
Raising a child can be a lot of work.
Raising a Gluten-Free child adds to that effort since the sole current treatment is an
entirely gluten-free diet. Dr. Jean has a blog about living gluten-free that is updated
much more frequently than this site. Please check out:
www.GlutenFreeOrganics.blogspot.com
Dr. Jean is also the facilitator of the local ROCK (Raising Our Celiac Kids) Support
Group. This group meets once a month to discuss various topics concerning the
gluten-free lifestyle. All caregivers of any gluten-free child are welcome to come and
share their experiences, terrific gluten-free recipes or shopping tips for living
gluten-free.
Meetings occur from 1 - 3 pm on the 3rd Saturday of the month at the Community
