NEWLY DIAGNOSED
Buddy help
Are you newly diagnosed and need immediate help? Call our Support Line at (250) 472-0141 to find out how you can be assigned a Celiac Buddy. Your Buddy is a fellow celiac who is very familiar with the gluten free diet, where to shop, what to buy, how to cook gluten free meals, maintain a gluten free kitchen and generally enjoy life as a celiac. Your Buddy will share a bounty of information to increase your comfort level in a celiac lifestyle and answer your many questions. Buddies are life-savers for newly diagnosed celiacs.
Support Meetings
Celiac Social Support
I’ve just been diagnosed and am desperate to meet other celiacs!
I need help navigating my new life
I’m on the diet but I still feel lousy
I’m on the diet but I am bored to tears
Can I ever eat out again?
What do I say when?
Meet with fellow celiacs who have ‘been there and done that’ Lifestyle Markets is the generous host of Victoria’s Celiac Socials. Listen and laugh over a gluten free snack, cup of tea or coffee. Ask your burning questions or relax and enjoy. Meetings end with a tour of the aisles to get your bearings or to discover the secrets to gluten free happiness. Don’t be shy - give us a try.
