Amador County – The “Gluten-Free Support Group,” a free support group that is open to the public, meets from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 8, at Sutter Amador Hospital’s Outpatient Services Center, in the Meadow & Mountain Conference Rooms.

The Gluten-Free Support Group helps attendees learn more about Celiac disease and maintaining a gluten-free diet. Participants will learn the difference between Celiac disease and gluten intolerance, and receive shopping and cooking tips for a gluten-free diet.

Participants will also have the opportunity to taste a variety of gluten-free foods and will be provided with resources and recipes. The support group will be led by Michelle Van Fossan, registered dietician. Those wishing to attend should RSVP to Michelle at (209) 257-7635.

Participants are encouraged to bring a gluten-free Christmas food and recipe to share. The Sutter Amador Hospital’s Outpatient Services Center is at 100 Mission Boulevard in Jackson.
