Welcome to your Gluten Free support site. Ventura County Celiacs was a support
group started by two sisters in 1996 when they discovered they had celiac disease and
there was no one to help them closer than Los Angeles. It started with just three people
in Simi Valley and is now helping celiacs from Santa Clarita to Santa Barbara.
We will not try to duplicate all the information out there on celiac disease. But we will show you the ropes and give you information relevant to our area. We are careful to check all information to be sure it is medically sound and not a "gluten myth." Check back often for our meeting times, product updates, new information, and recipes. Come see us at one of our support meetings.
