The Stanford Support Group invites you to a luncheon event
in San Jose on Sunday, January 16, that will include a raffle
and bake sale. (See attached flyer.) Proceeds will support the
Celiac Sprue Management Clinic at Stanford Hospital that is
set to open in January 2005. The clinic will be staffed by
Dr. Gary Gray, Dr. Gail Pyle (Dr. Pyle is also a Celiac), and
a dietician. The purpose of the clinic is to provide long-term
medical and nutritional support for adult Celiacs, and will
include (1) close guidance for newly-diagnosed Celiacs to
help them return to health; (2) yearly follow-up examinations
of Celiacs who are doing well in order to assess disease
activity and screen for potential complications such as
nutritional deficiencies; (3) help to Celiacs who are having
problems managing the disease.
To schedule an appointment call 650-723-6961. Stanford
accepts several insurance plans, including many PPOs,
MediCal, and Medicare. Please call 650-724-1460 for any
insurance questions.

To date we have raised $1,160 of the $25,000 needed in
2005 to keep the clinic open. Together we can reach our
goal. With over 700 families on the Bay Area mailing list,
we know that our celiac community is growing. Please

clinic. Checks can be payable to the Celiac Sprue
Research Foundation and mailed to P.O. Box 61193,

Note to Celiacs in search of coffee with gluten free treats:

of the frozen gluten free bread from "I Can Eat That"
bakery. They also carry frozen pizza crust, focaccia,
and cinnamon rolls, and serve sandwiches made from
the focaccia. Please call ahead to order the frozen breads,
to be sure they are available: 650-254-1110. They are also
