Welcome to the Celiac Disease support group for Las Vegas. Celiac Disease is also known as Gluten Sensitive Enteropathy, Gluten Intolerance or Celiac Sprue. It is still one of the most under-diagnosed common diseases, affecting more than 1 in every 100 people in the USA. It is a chronic, inherited disease, and if untreated can ultimately lead to malnutrition. If you are affected by this disease; whether it be yourself, family member or friend and live in, or are traveling to the Las Vegas area this group is for you. On this site you will find information on restaurants that serve gluten-free meals, a kids section, recipes, lists of G.I. doctors in the area and grocery stores that supply gluten-free products. You will also find support in our members. Check the calendar of events for the next social gathering and to see what's on the agenda for the next support group meeting.

There is also a gluten free kids group in Las Vegas now so if you have a child on a gluten free diet please feel free to join both this group and the kids group! Just copy and paste this link: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/lvkidsceliac/
