Visit Us at the Thrive Allergy & Gluten-Free Expo
Apple’s Bakery’s Gluten-Free Kitchen will have a table at this year’s Thrive Allergy & Gluten-Free Expo, April 18th and 19th at Chicago’s McCormick Place. The expo—the only business-to-consumer expo of this kind—offers resources for those suffering from respiratory, food, skin, and other allergies. Thrive was formerly known as the Allergy Expo. This year they’ve added “Gluten-Free” to their title to highlight the growing number of people diagnosed with Celiac disease.
The event will feature a variety of speakers, including Carol Shilson, Executive Director of the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center on “Diagnosing & Understanding Celiac Disease” and Cynthia Kupper, RD, Executive Director of the Gluten Intolerance Group on “Working with Gluten-free Food Services: Searching for the ‘Grain’ of Truth.”
There will also be raffles, a cooking stage (check out Allergy-Free Cake & Cookie Magic with Jules Shepard!), activities for kids, and a number of great exhibitors. Stop by and visit us next weekend!
