Support Meetings
Our goal is to provide people diagnosed with celiac disease with information about living well on a gluten-free diet. Our meetings give you advice and support that complement the information provided by dietitans and physicians. Our chapter is led by people who eat and prepare gluten-free food every day.

Newly Diagnosed or New to Our Area?
We hold a basic information meeting on the last Monday of every month (except December). All the meetings cover the basic information you need to eat gluten-free, but the rest of the meeting depends on the needs and interests of the people attending.
Anyone interested in the gluten-free diet, including family members and friends, are welcome. There is no charge for the meeting.
These meetings are held from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at Mount Zion Lutheran Church, 29 Westmount Road South, Waterloo (one block south of Erb Street). For a map, click here.
