The Charlotte Celiac Connection is a support group for individuals diagnosed with celiac disease or
gluten intolerance. We serve the greater Charlotte, NC area. Janet, President & Founder, was
diagnosed with celiac disease in October 2003. The Charlotte Celiac Connection support group began
in April 2005 and this web-site was launched shortly thereafter. Phylis, Vice President, was diagnosed
in September 2004 after suffering for 11 years! Carol, Vice President, is the mother of Rebecca, a
young teenager diagnosed with celiac at the age of nine. Janet & Phylis support the Charlotte, NC area
and Carol supports the South Carolina area.
Each of us have experienced the struggles of managing this complex medical condition and the many
challenges it presents. We know how important it is to share and learn from each other. So, we have
developed a YAHOO GROUP (join by clicking button below) which is an electronic place to meet by
posting questions, concerns and learns.
We have standing meetings at Fuel Pizza - Park Rd. location (see home page or below for details). We
meet the 2nd Saturday of each month at noon. RSVP is required as there is limited space and will be on
a first RSVP basis. It is important to also have face-to-face support and everyone has a great time!
Also - members are empowered to organize luncheons via Yahoo Group posts. Read these attached
procedures on how luncheons can be organized. Members will select a restaurant, location, date and
time and send an email to all members via Yahoo Groups.
Our group also reaches out to help individuals who have been newly diagnosed by advertising, talking
with store managers, doctors and restaurant managers. We are driven to increase celiac awareness,
raise funds for research and make a difference in the life of a person diagnosed with celiac disease in
Charlotte, NC area.
There is no fee to join and the only cost is your lunch bill! Join today by clicking on the YAHOO
GROUP button below...
Warm Regards,
Janet, Founder & President
