Screamin' Mimi's Ice Cream Social, Sebastopol, 2007
Welcome! This page is for support groups affiliated with North Bay Celiacs. See our complete list of Bay Area Support Groups and Contacts.
Our support groups meet every two to three months to share a potluck, have a party, listen to a talk, or just spend time together talking and exchanging information. We welcome new members, offer help adjusting to a gluten-free diet, and provide ongoing support, contacts and resources.
North Bay Celiacs is run entirely by volunteers, and membership is free. We welcome individuals of all ages, families, and people who are on a gluten-free diet for any health reason. To join North Bay Celiacs and be added to our master email list to be notified of regional celiac events and gluten-free news (we don't share or sell it), please send your name, city of residence and phone number to info@northbayceliacs.org or leave a message at 707-579-9683 (voice mail checked weekly; email checked daily).
If you don’t see a support group near you, ask us how we can help you start one.
For a list of upcoming Support Group Meetings please see our Bulletin Board
To reach any of our county contacts below, please send them an email or leave a message on our 24-hour Information Line at (707) 579-9683 (voice mail checked weekly). Each county leader maintains an email list separate from the master North Bay Celiacs one and you may want to be on both. For Sonoma County residents, there is only one list, the master one.

Party at Mary's Pizza Shack, Santa Rosa, 2009
North Bay Celiacs had a wonderful pizza party and support group meeting on March 15th at Mary's Pizza Shack in Santa Rosa. Still Riding Pizza very generously donated all the pizzas, and Mary’s provided the drinks, excellent service and good will! In addition to a full turnout of support group members, we were delighted to be joined by these dedicated individuals in the celiac community and their lovely families: Scott Adams, the founder and CEO of Celiac.com and Gluten-Free Mall; Joan Wade, the owner of Sylvan Border Farm; our favorite gluten-free chefs, Guy Giordanengo (“The Gluten-Free Guy”), and Clare O’Brien of the Culinary Institute of America; and Dr. Amy Burkhart, our physician volunteer.
