Celiacs in the Society for Creative Anachronism?

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone knows any Celiacs in the SCA? I feel as if there aren't many; but I'd like to know I'm not the only one : )

What does SCA stand for, the only thing I can think of is scarboro and I have Celiac.

"The SCA is an international organization dedicated to researching and re-creating the arts and skills of pre-17th-century Europe. Our "Known World" consists of 19 kingdoms, with over 30,000 members residing in countries around the world. Participants, dressed in clothing of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, attend events which may feature tournaments, arts exhibits, classes, workshops, dancing, feasts, and more. Our "royalty" hold courts at which they recognize and honor members for their contributions to the group."

Although reading through the posts I think that it may not be related to celiac disease but offers insight into a very interesting hobby! I wonder if there was Celiac Disease or Sprue in the Middle Ages? Everything was bread or drinking mead...am I correct. I would like to learn more...; ▶ Reply to This

@ Dorothy -the best way to get more information is to go to www.sca.org to look for your local chapter. From what I remember, the earliest description of Celiac dates back to ancient Greece.; ▶ Reply to This
