Whole Foods, Big Y provide gluten-free support

Big Y, Whole Foods and Roche Bros. have partnered with the New England Celiac Organization to host gluten-free support groups in their stores.

Whole Foods holds the free one-hour meetings once a month in its Glastonbury, Conn., store, as well as a few of its Massachusetts and Rhode Island stores.

Big Y hosts the meetings the first Tuesday of each month at its Westfield, Mass., unit.

Carrie Taylor, Big Y's chain’s corporate dietitian, leads the group as a NECO volunteer.

“The partnership made perfect sense since they were looking to expand their reach outside of Boston and appreciated having a health-care provider lead a group,” Taylor told SN.

Taylor typically presents an agenda or topic to discuss. For example, for the holidays, she hosted a holiday recipe swap. In addition, attendees can ask any eating/condition-related questions they may have.
