What we’re about
Gluten Free Living in Cincinnati Meetup Group
Autumn 2016-Present
It has been such a joy and honor meeting everyone who has attended a meetup over the last several years. I hope for many more community-encouraging, productive, helpful and fulfilling gluten-free meetups to come.
I was diagnosed with Celiac disease 12 years ago. It took me 3 years to get properly diagnosed, which was a struggle. It was a hard time in my life, as I had to adjust much around me. But, like most hardships in life, they eventually make us stronger, more empathetic and connected. It took me years to find all the hidden sources of gluten and I am still learning. My family and friends were supportive, but I still felt very isolated. This, is exactly what this meetup is for.
I hope this meetup can support the gf community, gf restaurants, gf products and help grow awareness. So far, we have checked out festivals, gf fairs, restaurants and have had a few casual meet and greet days. Now that I got my feet wet and am becoming a little better at this meetup thing, there are so many ideas to come, in 2024 and beyond - gluten-free cooking classes, gluten-free shopping trips, speakers, farm tours etc.
Warm Wishes Always
Announcement as of May 2024:
Our meetup is having some privacy issues within our meetup for our members both online and during meetups, so we will be making our Facebook group page as well as our meetup page private going forward. All will still function the same, but only members will be able to see the location for future meetups.
Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead and many more meetups to come <3
