GF and Allergen Free Halloween Candy List
You can go to www.surefoodsliving.com to get this list.
It has a gluten free list and a Halloween allergen list. Read the Halloween list carefully because it is an allergen list. Some of the items have wheat, but are listed as such. There are additional gluten free candies, but these are some of the favorites. As always, if in doubt, read the label.

Reserve April 26, 2009 for Northease Ohio Celiac Conference
We have reserved the Considine Building at Akron Children's Hospital for a Celiac Disease Conference, "Focus On Food" to be held Sunday, April 26, 2009. If you are interested in working on the planning committee please contact Therese at tsemonin1@neo.rr.com
We plan to hold a family oriented program divided into several different age groups. The focus will be on food so we are organizing a gluten free food fair to take place as part of this conference.
Watch for further developments.
Please note we have changed the date from Saturday to Sunday April 26, 2009. This was due to a conflict for most of the vendors.

Hello Fellow Celiacs
Here is my first adventure into the digital realm. We need a way to communicate with each other. With this site we can share information about each of the Celiac Support groups in our area, about interesting events, foods we love or hate...

The Akron are support group advisors are Dr. Costas Kefalas, Dr. Manzoor Qadir and Dr. Emory Collins. Our dietitian advisor is Kelly, but we also communicate with Sally and Trisha for their expertise.
My contact information is Therese Semonin, tsemonin1@neo.rr.com or by phone at 330-608-8436
