Anti-Panic sessions are an opportunity to learn all the do's and don'ts about living with Celiac Disease. It is a a fantastic way to learn how to eat well and be healthy on a gluten-free diet. Bring yourself, your family, friends and your questions. The sessions are free and you may attend as often as you wish.

Linda Arnold and her helpers will take you on an imaginary trip through a grocery store. You will be shown a large variety of foods that are available, learn how to check labels, and how to use your kitchen wisely. Information is provided on products considered safe for the gluten-free diet but we suggest you bring along a digital camera (if you have one) to take pictures of the product labels.

The sessions are held on the second Wednesday of every month. We require that you pre-register to ensure a seat and that we have enough information handouts available.
