Seattle Celiacs functions as a Branch of the GIG meeting monthly (every third Tuesday) to become better food managers for ours and our families' eating habits. We are located on the "Eastside" of Seattle. Because of travel times, we encourage people to start their own local support groups. It is not hard, and the need is great for someone to be there with guiding information. Newly diagnosted patients are important to us. Meetings are casual and there is no cost.
