Sorry things are messy.  We are moving and Tripod is setting up their new Webon Site Manager Tools.  And so things are not looking the way they are suppose to.  I have provided old links to the pages that have not moved yet.

Hope you find this website helpful.

We are a support group to help children and their families on a gluten free diet or other food allergies no matter what their reason is.   Celiac, sensitivity, allergies, autism, ADD/ADHD, personal  or religious preferences.

Some of our activities have been:

• Top Your Own GF Pizza

• Ice Cream Social

• Cookie Exchange

• Play In The Park

• Sample Birthday Cakes

What else happens:

• We learn more about our children's dietary needs and how it affects our children at school and at home.

• We share information, swap recipes, and compare stories.

• We try new Gluten Free Products

• We talk about the newest and greatest information, products and services that help our children.

• We learn tips and tricks about eating at local restaurants.

• We get suggestions and tips on traveling.

• We encourage one another.

My name is Sheri. I am the mother of two sweet girls and 3 out of 4 of us at home are on a Gluten Free diet. 

After Celiac became a reality,  the kids had a hard time adapting with the change and needed their own support group.  I found a R.O.C.K. chapter in Salem and we attended one of their meetings.  Our whole family benifited from the meeting and the kids loved it.  Salem was a little far to travel every month and so we plunged in and started our own support group to help other children who are dealing with food issues.

About us:  We are a Christian family and a small homeschool family (2 kids).  We are adventurous, creative and love to learn about the world around us.  With my kids, they talk openly about our lives as Christians, homeschoolers and as "Gluten Nots."

I have to give the credit to my Heavenly Father for answering our prayers about our failing health.  I started praying for my daughter when she was 2 years old in the year 2000.  He kept answering my prayers and pointing to wheat, but I didn't want to go there.  Finally after my own health failed so much, he lead me to a loving, kind voice that only had one answer, "Celiac - positive."  No where else to go, but to accept the gluten free diet.

I keep reminding myself of Daniel in the bible and his desire to eat the way God instructed him to.  Daniel was hand picked to honorably serve the king in his castle.  Daniel and the other hand picked Israelites were assigned daily amount of  food and wine from the kings table. "But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine." (Daniel 1:8)  He worked out an agreement with the cheif official for a triel diet of 10 days with only vegetables and water for him and his companions.  "At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food." (Daniel 1:15)  I try to keep in mind that gluten, casein and other allergies are defiling myself and were not meant for my lips. 

I hope you find this website to be helpful.  If you live close by, then I hope that we can meet at one of our group's events.
