But everywhere I went, I seemed to meet people who were gluten free for some medical reason or another. Then, when my son was also diagnosed with celiac, I did not want him to ever have that same feeling. I knew it was my responsibility to make a better way for my child; therefore, the Gluten Free High County Support group was born!
Gluten Free High County began on August 19, 2013 as a online group through Facebook. I was very fortunate to have crossed paths with Leah McGrath, Ingles dietitian, who gave me support in starting my group and connecting me with other support groups and leaders.
Although we are in the beginning stage of forming, we plan in the near future to have monthly meetings for members and quarterly events for our gluten free children.
Gluten Free High Country is a support group for those who are gluten free and for parents, families, and friends of those who on a gluten free diet for any reason: celiac disease, gluten intolerance, autism, ADD, ADHD, allergies, or personal preference. Through collaboration, education, and advocacy the group strives to improve the quality of life for those with celiac disease or other gluten related disorders who live in the high country of North Carolina Avery, Watauga, and Ashe Counties and surrounding areas.
